Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • 1 bunch Spring onions (scallions) Trimmed and cut into 3-inch pieces
  • 1/2 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup Potato starch Or cornstarch for extra crispiness
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1 cup Ice cold water Crucial for a crispy batter
  • 1 large Egg Beaten
  • 3 tbsp Vegetable oil For pan-frying

Instructions
 

  • Whisk the all-purpose flour, potato starch, and salt together in a large mixing bowl.
  • Pour in the ice cold water and beaten egg, mixing gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Add the chopped spring onions into the batter and toss lightly to coat.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  • Pour the batter mixture into the skillet, spreading the spring onions out evenly with a spatula to form a flat, round pancake.
  • Fry the pancake undisturbed for 4 to 5 minutes until the bottom is deeply golden brown and crispy.
  • Carefully flip the pancake and cook the other side for an additional 3 to 4 minutes until fully cooked and crisp.
  • Transfer the pancake to a cutting board, slice into wedges or squares, and serve immediately with a soy dipping sauce.
