Egg pancakes, with their crispy exterior, velvety egg filling, and flavorful accompaniments like lettuce, pickled vegetables, and sauces, offer a delightful culinary experience. This simple yet versatile dish is a favorite among many, often spotted at breakfast stalls along busy streets. However, concerns about hygiene and quality can deter some from indulging in this treat. Fear not! With this homemade recipe, you can enjoy the deliciousness of egg pancakes from the comfort of your kitchen.

Egg pancake Ingredients:

To prepare this savory delight, you will need:

  • 300 grams of all-purpose flour
  • Lukewarm water, as required
  • Fresh lettuce
  • Fragrant cilantro
  • Scallions for a mild onion flavor
  • Pickled vegetables for tanginess
  • Sweet bean sauce for a hint of sweetness
  • Garlic chili sauce for a spicy kick
  • Several eggs for the filling
  • Egg pancake Instructions:

    Begin by gathering your ingredients. Combine 300 grams of all-purpose flour with lukewarm water, gradually adding the water to the flour until it forms a crumbly mixture. The dough should be soft and pliable.

    Knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover it with plastic wrap and let it rest for at least an hour. This resting period allows the gluten to relax and the dough to ferment, resulting in a lighter texture for the pancakes.

    While the dough is resting, prepare your fillings and toppings. Wash the lettuce thoroughly and chop the cilantro, scallions, and pickled vegetables into fine pieces. Set aside.

    After the resting period, knead the dough again to ensure its smoothness. Divide it into small balls, roughly 50 grams each, to form individual pancakes.

    Take one dough ball at a time and roll it out into a long strip. Brush the surface with a thin layer of oil to prevent sticking.

    Take a small dough ball, roll it into a long strip, and spread a layer of oil on the surface.

    Roll the strip tightly into a spiral, similar to rolling a cinnamon bun, to create layers within the pancake.

    Flatten the spiral-shaped dough with a rolling pin to form a pancake, ensuring it is evenly thick throughout.

    Heat a flat-bottomed pan over medium heat and place the pancake onto the pan. Cook until golden brown on both sides, flipping as needed to ensure even cooking.

    When the pancake is almost cooked, use chopsticks or a spatula to create a small opening in the center of the pancake.

    Crack an egg into the opening, allowing it to spread evenly across the surface of the pancake. Cook until the egg sets and the pancake is fully cooked.

    Once cooked, transfer the pancake to a serving plate. Spread a generous amount of sweet bean sauce and garlic chili sauce on top.

    Sprinkle the chopped cilantro, scallions, and pickled vegetables over the sauce, adding layers of flavor and texture.

    Finally, place a crisp lettuce leaf on top of the pancake before folding it over to encase all the delicious fillings.

    Spread a generous amount of sweet bean sauce and garlic chili sauce on the pancake, sprinkle with chopped cilantro, scallions, and pickled vegetables. Place a piece of lettuce on top, then fold everything together.

    Enjoy your homemade egg pancake, a delightful blend of textures and flavors that will surely satisfy your cravings!
