HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, all-purpose flour, water, soy sauce, and toasted sesame oil until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Add a pinch of salt if desired.

02

Gently stir in the thinly sliced scallions into the egg batter.

03

Heat the neutral oil in a non-stick skillet (about 8-10 inches) over medium heat. Ensure the pan is evenly coated.

04

Pour half of the egg mixture into the hot skillet, swirling gently to create an even layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the edges are set and the bottom is golden brown.

05

Using a silicone spatula, carefully fold the pancake in half or roll it into a log shape. Continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes, ensuring it is cooked through.

06

Remove the cooked egg pancake from the skillet and set aside. Repeat the process with the remaining egg batter.

07

Once both pancakes are cooked, slice them into thick pieces and serve immediately. Garnish with extra fresh scallions if desired.

COOKING TIP

Make it better

For an extra fluffy pancake, you can separate the egg whites and whip them to soft peaks before gently folding them into the yolk mixture. Serve with a drizzle of sriracha or a side of kimchi for an added spicy kick.

SUBSTITUTIONS

Easy swaps

For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with cornstarch. Feel free to add other finely chopped vegetables like shredded carrots or spinach to the batter. Chives can be used in place of scallions for a milder onion flavor.

STORAGE

Keep it fresh

Store any leftover Japanese Scallion Egg Pancake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a non-stick pan over low heat or in the microwave until warmed through.
