Skate Pancake Recipe Ingredients
- 100g Skate, prepared
- 3 Tbsp all-purpose flour or pancake mix
- 1 large egg
- 1 Cheongyang chili pepper (for extra spice)
- 1 red chili pepper (for color)
- Cooking oil (generous amount)
- Pinch of salt (for seasoning the skate)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the ingredients for our delicious skate pancakes. Wash the Cheongyang and red chili peppers, remove the stems, and finely mince or thinly slice them. If you prefer a spicier taste, adjust the amount of Cheongyang chili peppers accordingly. Set aside all chopped vegetables.
Step 2
Use the skate as is, or if it’s too thick, slice it into bite-sized pieces. To slightly mellow the distinct pungent flavor of the skate and enhance its savory taste, lightly season it with a pinch of salt. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to allow the seasoning to penetrate.
Step 3
Now, let’s make the egg batter. Crack one egg into a bowl, add a tiny pinch of salt for seasoning, and whisk well. Stir in the pre-minced Cheongyang and red chili peppers into the beaten egg. You’ll have a colorful and aromatic egg mixture ready.
Step 4
Heat a frying pan over medium-low heat and add a generous amount of cooking oil. First, coat the lightly salted skate pieces with the flour or pancake mix, ensuring an even coating on both sides. Next, dip the flour-coated skate into the egg mixture, ensuring it’s well-coated. Carefully place the battered skate into the heated frying pan and pan-fry until golden brown and crispy on both sides. Cooking over medium-low heat rather than high heat will prevent burning and ensure the inside is cooked through perfectly. Serve immediately while warm for the best taste.
