Shallot Pancake

More July cooking

The noodle restaurant next to where I work makes the most amazing shallot pancakes. They are so tasty. One night D and I visited there for some dinner. D didn't really enjoy the noodles, but he loved the shallot pancake so we got to thinking about whether we could make something like that at home.

I googled around a bit and found that there are many recipes out there for a shallot pancake, but this one from Fast-Ed.com.au looked to be quite uncomplicated and easy to try.

I did stuff up a bit and I added the mushroom soy and chilli oil to the dough because I wasn't reading the recipe. I also am terrible at rolling out dough, so the picture is of the experimental pancake cooked to check the taste. Or so I am telling myself.

The pancake tasted just like the ones from the noodle restaurant! (Well, if you take into account mine was twice, maybe three times as thick). It was awesome. I haven't made it again to see what it would be like if I actually followed the instructions, but I have no doubt it would be spectacular. When you can make awesome stuff at home, who needs to drive for half an hour to buy it?
