Ingredients
Seafood Pancake
1 bunch spring onion, cut into 4cm lengths
120g plain flour
2 tbsp cornstarch
1 cup soda water, chilled
1 tsp fish sauce
Vegetable oil, to cook
1½ cups mixed seafood (squid, prawn and mussels)
2 eggs, lightly beaten
Dipping Sauce
2 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp water
2 tbsp finely chopped onion
1 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp gochugaru (Korean chilli flakes)
Method
To make the pancake mix, add flour and cornstarch to a mixing bowl and whisk in the soda water and fish sauce until well combined. Add in the spring onions and mix well.
Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a frying pan about 12 inch in size over medium heat. Spoon in 1/2 of the mix and spread until thin. Let cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges are just set then sprinkle over half of the seafood mix.
Drizzle over half of the beaten egg and using a spatula, spread the beaten egg evenly across the pancake. Continue to cook for a further 1-2 minutes until the bottom is crisp and golden brown then carefully flip the pancake with your spatula and cook for a further 1-2 minutes until the other side is golden brown.
Transfer to a chopping board and repeat with the remaining pancake. Cut into 3-4 cm wide pieces and serve with dipping sauce (below).
To make dipping sauce, place all ingredients for the dipping sauce into a small bowl and mix until well combined.
