Chinese Leek Egg Pancake
This is a very traditional breakfast or snack food served in China. Super easy to make and the whole family would enjoy it.
- 3 Eggs
- 10 Leeks
- 2 green onions (chopped to half-inch size) (optional)
- 120g All-purpose flour
- 150g Water
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoon Oil
- Clean the leeks and pat them dry till no dripping water. Slice off the root end and the tough green top of the leeks, and chop into half-inch length size.
- Whisk the eggs well in a medium bowl. Sift in the flour, add water and salt, and whisk well until the mixture is lump free, then add chopped leek and chopped green onion to mix again.
- Put a bit oil in a non-stick frying pan, add 1/4 of the mixture and form it as a round pancake. Cook over medium heat until bottom side is golden brown (see picture 1), then flip with a spatula and cook the other side till lightly brown, then take it aside of the frying pan for using later.
- Cut each leek pancake into 4 pieces for serving, and serving hot/warm.
