– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1 cup water
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 cup chopped spring onions (green onions)
– 1/4 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
– 1 egg (optional, for a richer flavor)
– Soy sauce (for dipping, optional)
– Chili flakes (optional, for additional flavor)
Follow these simple steps to create your own Crispy Korean Spring Onion Pancake:
1. Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and water. Stir until you have a smooth batter.
2. Add Ingredients: Fold in the chopped spring onions. If you are using an egg, beat it separately and mix it in at this stage.
3. Heat the Oil: In a large non-stick frying pan, heat about 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat.
4. Pour the Batter: Once the oil is hot, pour half of the batter into the pan, spreading it out evenly to create a thin layer.
5. Cook the Pancake: Fry for about 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and crispy. Use a spatula to flip the pancake carefully.
6. Repeat: Add a little more oil if needed, then cook the second side for another 3-4 minutes. Once cooked, transfer to a plate and cover with a paper towel to keep warm.
7. Serve: Repeat the process with the remaining batter. Cut the pancakes into wedges and serve hot with soy sauce for dipping.
By following these clear steps, you’ll achieve the desired crispiness and flavor that define this incredible dish!
