- 1/2 Onion (approx. 50g)
- 1/6 Carrot (approx. 30g)
- 1/2 Green Onion (green parts only, discard white, approx. 30g)
Batter Ingredients- 1.5 cups Pancake Mix (approx. 180g)
- 1/2 cup All-purpose Flour (approx. 60g)
- 220ml Water
- 1 Egg
- 1 pinch Salt (approx. 1g)
- 1.5 cups Pancake Mix (approx. 180g)
- 1/2 cup All-purpose Flour (approx. 60g)
- 220ml Water
- 1 Egg
- 1 pinch Salt (approx. 1g)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, gently wash the king oyster mushrooms. Trim off the tough bottom part of the stems. Separate the mushrooms into bite-sized pieces by hand; this helps maintain their pleasant chewy texture. Finely julienne the onion and carrot. Chop the green parts of the green onion thinly for color and a mild onion flavor.
Step 2
Now, let’s prepare the batter for our delicious mushroom pancakes. In a large bowl, combine the pancake mix and all-purpose flour, mixing well to remove any lumps. Gradually add the water, stirring as you go, until you achieve a smooth batter. The consistency should be pourable, like a thick liquid that flows slowly off a spoon.
Step 3
Crack one egg into the batter and whisk it in until fully incorporated. The egg will make the batter richer and contribute to a lovely golden-brown color when cooked. Add a pinch of salt to season the batter. Be careful not to add too much salt, as it can make the pancakes too salty.
Step 4
Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a frying pan over low to medium-low heat. Spoon about a tablespoon of batter per pancake onto the hot pan, shaping them into small, round pancakes. Cooking over low heat is crucial to ensure they cook through and become golden brown without burning. Flip them gently and cook the other side until golden and crisp. Adding a little more oil between batches can help achieve extra crispiness.
Step 5
Once beautifully golden and cooked through, transfer the king oyster mushroom pancakes to a warm serving plate. For an extra flavor boost, serve with a simple dipping sauce made from soy sauce, vinegar, a pinch of chili flakes, and sesame seeds. Enjoy your perfectly chewy and flavorful king oyster mushroom pancakes!
