Korean vegetable pancake aka Yachaejeon Recipe

Mr Roast Meat loves this! Recipe from Maangchi, with the only difference being that I chopped the veggies smaller, and added some cubed pumpkin that I need to get rid of.


Ingredients:
1/2 cup plain flour
pinch salt
1 egg

2/3 cup water
1/2 cup coarsely chopped spring onions
1/2 cup coarsely chopped Chinese chives or jiucai (韭菜)
1/2 cup diced pumpkin
8 medium sized prawns, shells removed (optional), cut into small pieces or left whole

Method:
Combine flour, egg, salt and water in a medium bowl. Stir well, batter will be lumpy.
Heat a nonstick frying pan on medium heat and add abt 1 tbsp veg oil / olive oil. I use coconut oil.
Saute the prawns for about 2 min.
Add all the veggies to the batter and stir well. Pour evenly onto the pan and spread gently with a spoon or spatula.
After about 1 min, gently shake the pancake around on the pan in a circular motion - you should be able to hear a scratchy, scraping sound. This means the bottom of the pancake is ready. (Or you can check with your turner that it's golden brown on the underside d:P )
Flip the pancake (woohoo!) and return pan to the fire (medium heat).
Drizzle some oil around the sides of the pan so it flows underneath the pancake.
After another min, check for doneness (sound or turner).
Serve hot or warm. Or cool completely before packing into bento.
