Cooking Steps
- Thinly slice the scallions, setting some of the greens aside to use as a garnish later.
- Heat a light drizzle of sunflower oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat and fry the sweetheart cabbage for 2 - 3 minutes.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the flour and water (see pantry for amounts).
- Add the panko and scallions to the batter, mix well and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove the sweetheart cabbage from the pan. Add the bacon to the same frying pan, then add the sweetheart cabbage back on top of the bacon.
- Turn the heat to low and pour the batter over the bacon and cabbage. (see Tip).
- Cover with the lid and fry the pancake for 6 - 8 minutes over medium-low heat until the pancake is brown and crispy.
Tip: this pancake is for 2 people. Are you cooking for 4 people? Divide all the ingredients between 2 pans.
- In the meantime, use a vegetable peeler or cheese slicer to slice the cucumber into thin ribbons.
- Dice the apple.
- In a salad bowl, toss the cucumber, apple and edamame with with the ponzu sauce.
- Season with soy sauce and pepper to taste.
Did you know... apple contains pectin, a fermentable fibre which boosts gut health, cholesterol and immunity.
- In a small bowl, make a sweet sauce by combining the Worcestershire sauce and tomato ketchup.
- Flip the pancake over (see Tip 1).
- Spread the sweet sauce over the side with the bacon facing up.
- Fry the pancake on the other side for 2 - 3 more minutes over medium-low heat (see Tip 2).
Tip 1: an easy way to do this is to turn the pancake out onto a plate, then slide it back into the pan.
Tip 2: it's fine if the pancakes are still a little bit soft on the inside.
- In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise with East Asian sauce.
- Cut the pancake in half and serve one half per plate.
- Drizzle the mayonnaise over the pancake halves and garnish with the scallion greens.
- Serve the salad alongside.
