Quick Rice Cooker Cabbage Pancake Recipe
A mild yet savory cabbage pancake that’s incredibly satisfying. Perfect for a snack or even a light meal, this recipe uses only your rice cooker, making it wonderfully convenient. Enjoy its comforting taste and texture.
Main Ingredients- 55g Cabbage (about 1/4 small head)
- 2 Eggs
- 10g All-purpose flour (approx. 1.5 Tbsp)
- 40g Onion (about 1/4 small onion)
- 40g Mozzarella cheese
- 2 Tbsp Cooking oil
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare 55g of cabbage. Shred it as thinly as possible. Using a mandoline slicer or a peeler can help achieve very fine, uniform strands. If you prefer a bit more texture, you can cut the cabbage slightly thicker.
Step 2
Thinly slice 40g of onion and add it to a bowl. Crack in 2 eggs, add 0.25 tsp of salt, a pinch of black pepper, and 1 pinch of Dashida (or your preferred flavor enhancer) for an extra savory kick.
Step 3
Add 10g of all-purpose flour (about 1.5 Tbsp) to help bind the ingredients. If you’d like to add more flavor and texture, feel free to mix in some chopped shrimp or squid – it makes for a delicious variation!
Step 4
Whisk all the ingredients together thoroughly until well combined. Ensure the cabbage and onion are evenly distributed within the batter for the best texture.
Step 5
Grease the inner pot of your rice cooker generously with 2 Tbsp of cooking oil. This step is crucial to prevent the pancake from sticking and helps achieve a crispier finish.
Step 6
Pour the prepared batter into the greased rice cooker pot. Use a spatula to spread it evenly and thinly across the bottom. Select the ‘Reheat’ or ‘Bake’ function (if available) on your rice cooker and cook for 9 minutes. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
Step 7
After the initial 9 minutes of cooking, sprinkle 40g of mozzarella cheese evenly over the top. Then, select the ‘Reheat’ or ‘Bake’ function again and cook for another 9 minutes. The cheese will melt beautifully, adding a delightful cheesy flavor.
Step 8
Once the cheese is melted and bubbly, you can serve it directly from the rice cooker pot. Sprinkle with parsley flakes or dried chives for a touch of color and freshness. It looks great served family-style.
Step 9
Alternatively, you can carefully invert the rice cooker pot onto a plate to present the pancake more formally. Sprinkle with parsley or chives before serving. This pancake is best enjoyed warm!
