.................................................................................................................
Per person -
1 handful of finely sliced spring onions or just regular onions
Small handful of thinly sliced veg - red or green cabbage, peppers, carrots, kale, sprouts
1 tbsp sesame seeds
2 Tsp chopped Thai basil or coriander & mint combined
200g gram / chickpea flour
2 cups (500ml) water
1 tsp miso
1 – 2 garlic clove(s), crushed
1 tsp chopped fresh ginger
1 tbsp tamari or soy sauce
Pinch of sugar or tsp agave
Dipping sauce
1 tbsp tamari
1 tbsp lime juice / black rice vinegar / balsamic
1 tbsp chilli oil / sesame oil
1 tbsp water
Stir to combine
If using a food processor, shred your cabbages and spring onions on the slicer attachment and grate your carrots. Tip into a bowl.
Add the remaining ingredients to the food processor with the blade attachment and pulse until the batter is combined. Add to the veg and mix well.
Let rest for 30 mins if possible but not essential.
On a reasonably high heat, add a little veg oil to a large non stick pan, and add the batter until it is the thickness of a pound coin. Use the back of a spoon to spread out if needed.
These work any size, but the smaller ones are easier to handle! Cook for 2-3 minutes - until golden underneath and there are bubbles on the top - then flip. Don’t worry if they break, they still taste good!
They don’t really go crispy but the veg should be thin enough to just cook but keep some crunch. They are also surprisingly nice cold. I haven’t worked out what to eat with these, I just eat more if I’m hungry! Though some crispy little gem lettuce and spring onions would be a great combination.
