Method

  1. 01

    Prepare the ingredients

    Cut the scallion into strips, the carrot into thin strips, and the squid into pieces about 1 cm across.

    Ready to continue when: The scallion and carrot are cut into strips, and the squid into small pieces.

  2. 02

    Mix the batter

    Put the flour in a bowl and add the very cold water. Whisk until smooth; the batter should be pourable but thick.

    Ready to continue when: The batter is smooth, with no visible flour lumps.

  3. 03

    Add the filling

    Add the scallion, carrot, and squid to the batter and mix to distribute them.

    Ready to continue when: The scallion, carrot, and squid are evenly distributed through the batter.

  4. 04

    Make the sauce

    Mix the soy sauce, rice vinegar, water for the sauce, and chili powder in a small bowl.

    Ready to continue when: The sauce is combined, with the chili distributed through the liquid.

  5. 05

    Cook the pancakes

    Heat the sunflower oil in a nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Cook the batter in 3 or 4 portions: pour each portion into the hot pan, flatten it, and cook for about 1 minute, until the edges are golden. Flip and cook the other side for 2–3 minutes over low heat, pressing gently to help the squid and vegetables cook through. Repeat with the remaining batter.

    Ready to continue when: The pancakes are golden on both sides, the batter is set, and the squid is thoroughly cooked.

    10 min
  6. 06

    Serve
