Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Cabbage Mixture

  • Slice the scallions, separating the white and green parts.
  • In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage, sliced white scallions, flour, grated ginger, eggs, and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce. Stir until well mixed.

Step 2: Cook the Pancake

  • Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the cabbage mixture to the skillet, pressing it to flatten and cover the bottom of the pan.
  • Cover and cook for about 8 minutes, until the bottom is golden.
  • Carefully flip the pancake and cook, uncovered, for about 5 more minutes until golden on both sides.
  • Transfer the pancake to a serving platter.

Step 3: Prepare the Sauces

  • In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, sriracha, and 2 teaspoons of water.
  • In another small bowl, combine ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of soy sauce.

Step 4: Serve

  • Drizzle both sauces over the pancake and sprinkle with sliced green scallions.
  • Slice into wedges and serve hot.

TIP
  • For added protein, mix in chopped cooked shrimp, bacon, or ham into the batter before cooking.
  • You can use purple cabbage instead of green, but it will affect the appearance.
  • Substitute gluten-free flour or cornstarch for extra crispiness.
