Chive pancakes with barbecued pork and coleslaw

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 egg
  • ¾ cup water
  • 2 bunches chives, cut into 2-3 inch lengths
  • 1 bunch Chinese chives, cut into 2-3 inch lengths
  • 12 oz barbecued pork, finely shredded
  • 1 cup zucchini, julienned
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil

Method:

  1. Mix flour, eggs, water and salt together and let sit for about 10 minutes.
  2. Add the chives, zucchini and pork and mix well. The batter should be a little bit runnier than pancake batter.
  3. Preheat a non-stick 12” fry pan (or two smaller pans) over medium heat and add vegetable oil.
  4. Pour batter into pan and spread to a thin layer; this amount should give you about 1 large pancake. Cook for 3-4 minutes until set and golden brown on bottom.Turn over using a spatula, plate or flip it if you are able; cook the other side until golden and serve immediately.
