Instructions

  1. 1
    Whisk the flour, egg and water until smooth. Cut the spring onions to fit your pan.
  2. 2
    Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high. Lay the spring onions flat in the pan.
  3. 3
    Pour the batter over the spring onions evenly. Cook 4 minutes until the edges crisp and the bottom is golden.

    Flip carefully — drizzle the remaining oil around the edge. Cook another 3-4 minutes until both sides are crisp.
  5. 5
    Mix the soy, vinegar, garlic and sesame seeds for dipping. Cut the pancake into wedges and serve hot.
