INGREDIENTS

1½ cups plain flour
2 cups water
1½ tablespoons vegetable oil
250g pork mince or chicken mince
6 eggs, lightly whisked
2½ cups finely shredded Chinese cabbage
3 green onions, thinly sliced
½ red capsicum, seeded, finely sliced
sweet soy sauce (kecap manis), to serve
METHOD

  1. Sift flour in a large bowl. Make a well in centre. Gradually add water, whisking constantly with a fork, until smooth. Cover and chill 30 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large frying pan on high. Add mince and cook 4-5 minutes, until browned, breaking up lumps with a spoon as it cooks. Transfer to a bowl.

  3. Whisk eggs into batter mixture until smooth. Stir cabbage and half onions through.

  4. Heat 1 teaspoon of remaining oil in a 22cm non-stick frying pan on medium. Spoon a quarter of cooked mince over base of pan. Pour a quarter of batter over this, spreading cabbage evenly over. Cook 3-4 minutes, until golden underneath. Turn and cook further 2 minutes, or until golden. Transfer to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining oil, mince and batter.

  5. Top each pancake with capsicum and remaining green onion. Drizzle with sweet soy.
