Steps
- 01
Rinse the chives, shake them dry, chop into short lengths and finely chop the onion.
- 02
Mix 3/4 cup flour, 180 ml water and 10 ml fish sauce until smooth; fold in 115 g chives and 1/4 cup onion.
- 03
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add 15–30 ml oil. If your skillet is small, divide the batter into two pancakes.
- 04
Spread batter into one thin, even round and cook for 3–5 minutes until the underside is golden and crisp.
- 05
Flip with a spatula, add the remaining 15–30 ml oil around the edge, and fry 2–3 minutes. Flip again and cook another 2–3 minutes until no raw flour batter remains.
- 06
Move the crisp pancake to a plate, divide into two portions and serve immediately. Refrigerate leftovers promptly in a shallow container.
