Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 5 tablespoon vegetable oil or any neutral oil
  • 1 cup green onions packed
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup potato starch or cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon chicken bouillon powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ cup very cold water
  • 2 tablespoon regular soy sauce or light soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoon rice vinegar or white vinegar
  • ½ tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon green onion finely chopped

Method
 

  1. Wash green onions and pat dry with paper towels. Trim off the roots, split vertically and chop into 2-inch pieces. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
  2. Add all remaining batter ingredients into the bowl and mix just until combined. Do not over mix.
  3. Heat 2.5 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick pan on medium-high heat and swirl to coat.
  4. Add green onions from the batter to the pan first and spread evenly. Scrape the remaining batter to fill any holes.
  5. Reduce heat to medium and fry until the bottom is crispy and golden with slight charring on the onions, about 4-5 minutes.
  6. Flip with a large spatula, pour remaining oil around the pancake, occasionally swirl and press down on it while cooking.
  7. Transfer the pancake to a cutting board and slice into small pieces.
  8. In a small bowl, mix all dipping sauce ingredients. Serve the pancake with the dipping sauce and enjoy.

Notes

  • For best texture, use very cold water in the batter. Adjust dipping sauce ingredients to taste. Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in a skillet for crispiness.
