In my home town, one of the most popular ways to make a dish with chive is pancake. Today, I am going to share with you the recipe for this Chive Pancake dish.
Spring is the best season to enjoy Chinese chives. Chive is a very healthy vegetable that’s low in calories and high in nutrients such as vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
Let get started!
After mixing flour with water and eggs, I cut the chives into pieces and mixed them with the batter.
I spread just a little bit of oil evenly onto the pan over medium heat, and poured in about one-third of the mixture. After pan-fried for five minutes on each side, the pancake should look like the picture below.
You could always adjust the cooking time if you feel like the chives haven’t been cooked through yet.
My apartment was filled with the mouth-watering fragrant while I was making the chive pancakes. I like dipping them with a touch of soy sauce before eating.
Below is how I made this dish step-by-step. The total time needed is about 40 minutes to make three 4-inch chive pancakes.
I hope you enjoy making this tasty chive pancake at home. If you like this recipe, don’t forget to leave a rating and share it with your friends!
