Recipe makes about 12 small/medium pancakes
5 cups of shredded vegetable, I used a mixture of red and green cabbage, carrot and brussel sprouts
3 scallions, thinly sliced
1 cup chicken, cooked and shredded
1 cup all purpose flour
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
4 eggs, lightly beaten
1 tbsp worcester sauce
1/2 cup cold water
safflower oil or canola, for frying
In a small bowl sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. In a large bowl add the shredded vegetable, scallions and chicken. Now add the flour mixture and toss with your fingers until evenly distributed. In a medium bowl whisk together the eggs, water and worcester. Pour the wet ingredients into the cabbage mixture. Gently mix together ( do not over mix ). Coat the bottom of a large frying pan with oil and warm over medium heat. Make about 3-4 pancakes evenly spread apart, each one should be about 2 tbsp of batter. Slightly flatten with a spatula. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side or until they are cooked through and have a nice crispy brown outer layer.
