Chikuwa & Spring Onion Pancake

Using ‘Tempura’ Batter, that can be made with Plain Flour, Potato Starch, Egg and Water, you can make a variety of savoury pancakes. Today I used Chikuwa (Japanese Tube-shape Fish Cakes) and Spring Onions. You can use Garlic Chives instead of Spring Onions. Add as much as you want if you can combine with the batter.

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Mix the Batter ingredients in a mixing bowl. Alter the amount of Water to make thick Batter.

* Step 2

Thinly slice Chikuwa and Spring Onion, add to the batter, and mix to combine. *Note: If you use Garlic Chives, cut 1-2cm in length.

* Step 3

Heat Oil in a frying pan over medium low heat, form a large pancake OR 2 to 4 smaller pancakes, and cook until both sides are nicely browned and crispy.

* Step 4

Cut into smaller pieces if large, sprinkle with some Shichimi (Japanese Chilli Spice Mix), and enjoy.

* Step 5

Dipping Sauce: If you want to enjoy the pancake with a dipping sauce, I recommend ‘Ponzu’ with Chilli Oil. Alternatively, mix 1 tablespoon Rice Vinegar and 1 tablespoon Soy Sauce, then add Chilli Oil OR Crispy Chilli Oil.
