Method
Thinly shred the cabbage, slice the green5 onions, and cut the bacon4 into strips.
Mix the eggs3, flour, salt, and 50 ml water into a thick batter with no dry lumps.
Add the cabbage and green5 onions, and stir until the vegetables are evenly coated in batter.
Heat a skillet with oil, spread the mixture into a thick pancake, and arrange the bacon4 on top.
Cook covered for 7–8 minutes over medium heat until the bottom is browned.
Flip the pancake and cook for another 6–7 minutes until the center is set and the bacon4 is browned.
Mix the ketchup, soy sauce, and honey, brush over the hot pancake, and top with mayonnaise.
Tips
- Why it works
- Shred the cabbage finely so it softens during 13–15 minutes of frying and the middle of the pancake doesn't stay raw.
- Substitutions
- Replace the bacon with 45 g of ham or fried sausage, the flavor will be less smoky. Replace the honey in the sauce with 5 g of sugar.
- Common mistakes
- A common mistake is too high a heat. The bottom darkens in 3–4 minutes while the top stays runny and the cabbage smells raw.
- Storing and reheating
- Keep in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in a pan under a lid for 4–5 minutes over low heat, or in the microwave for 1–2 minutes.
- Serve with
- Serve for dinner with cucumbers or a simple tomato salad to add freshness to the dense pancake.
