Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Frying Pan

Ingredients  

  • 120 g Sourdough Starter
  • 50 g Water
  • 2 Chicken Stock Cubes
  • 3 Eggs
  • 50 g Cornstarch
  • 100 g Green Cabbage Finely sliced
  • 30 g Green Onions Diced (approx. 2 green onions)
  • Oil for frying

Instructions 

  • Dissolve the stock cubes into the water and set aside.
  • Lightly beat eggs with a fork in a mixing bowl.
  • Now add sourdough starter and corn starch to the eggs and mix to combine. It's ok if there's some corn starch still around the edges of the bowl.
  • Now pour in the stock and mix well, working out all the lumps as you go.
  • Add the cabbage and spring onions, mix through and set aside.
  • Heat a large skillet or frying pan. Add a little sesame or vegetable oil to the pan.
  • When the pan is hot, use a ladle to pour mixture into the pan. You can make the pancakes as big or small as you like. I find this mixture makes 4 good size pancakes.
  • When the egg mixture starts to cook on the edges, flip the pancake. Once it's browned on both sides, take out of the pan to serve.
  • Serve the pancakes with japanese mayonnaise, yakatori sauce, chilli and sesame seeds - or pretty much whatever you like to eat them with!
