Main Ingredients- 200g fresh scallions (washed and prepared)
- 100g pancake mix (for a savory and crispy texture)
- 150ml cold water (to adjust batter consistency)
- 3 strips of bacon (cut into bite-sized pieces)
- 2 Tbsp cooking oil (for pan-frying until golden brown)
- 1 fresh egg (for batter tenderness and flavor)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, thoroughly wash the scallions, the star of your pancake, under running water to remove any dirt or debris. Pat them dry completely. Cut them into manageable pieces, about two finger-joints long. Slice the bacon into bite-sized pieces as well, which will make it easier to eat later.
Step 2
Prepare a large, deep bowl. Measure and add 100g of the pancake mix. Using a pre-made pancake mix is convenient as it already contains seasonings and helps achieve a crispier finish without extra steps.
Step 3
Now, let’s make the batter. Gradually pour 150ml of cold water into the pancake mix while stirring. Avoid adding all the water at once, as the batter might become too thin. It’s important to adjust the consistency as you go. Whisk thoroughly to ensure there are no lumps.
Step 4
Crack one fresh egg into the batter. The egg will add tenderness to the pancake and help bind all the ingredients together nicely.
Step 5
Using a spatula or whisk, mix the pancake mix, water, and egg until well combined. The ideal consistency is pourable but not too watery – similar to a thick sauce. If the batter is too stiff, the ingredients won’t coat well; if it’s too thin, the pancake might lack crispiness.
Step 6
Add all the prepared scallions and sliced bacon to the batter. Gently mix everything together to ensure the ingredients are evenly coated with the batter. This ensures that every bite is flavorful and delicious.
Step 7
Place a frying pan over medium heat. Add about 2 tablespoons of cooking oil and swirl it around to coat the entire surface of the pan. Ensure the pan is adequately heated before adding the pancake batter. If the oil is not hot enough, the pancake can absorb too much oil and become soggy.
Step 8
Once the pan is hot, ladle a generous portion of the bacon and scallion batter onto the pan. Spread it thinly and evenly into a round shape. Cook over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes, until the bottom is golden brown and crispy. Carefully flip the pancake and cook the other side until it’s also golden brown and crisp. Your delicious bacon scallion pancake is ready! Feel free to add kimchi or other vegetables according to your preference.
