🙋 Recommended for

Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings
- 1–2 handfuls of chives
- ½ cup frying powder (or pancake mix)
- ½ cup water
- 1 spoon minced garlic
- 1 spoon anchovy fish sauce
- ½ handful onion
- ½ cup breadcrumbs
- generously with cooking oil
Recipe 🍳
- Wash the chives thoroughly under running water, then cut into large pieces about two finger-joints long and place in a bowl.
- To the bowl, add ½ cup frying powder and ½ cup water, along with 1 spoon minced garlic and 1 spoon anchovy fish sauce; mix to evenly coat and season.
- Thinly slice the onion into strips, add about a handful to the bowl, and gently toss to combine the batter evenly.
- Once the ingredients are well mixed, finally sprinkle ½ cup breadcrumbs evenly over the top and just barely fold them in so they don't break apart.
- Heat a frying pan, add a generous amount of cooking oil, then place the batter on the pan and spread it out thinly and evenly.
- Keep the heat high and cook until the bottom turns golden and firm like a cracker.
- Flip it all at once with a spatula, then cook the other side as if frying, adding more oil as needed, until done.
- Slice chives and onion, then mix with frying powder, water, fish sauce, and minced garlic to make a batter.
- In the final stage, sprinkle breadcrumbs and lightly mix to keep them from breaking.
- Pan-fry on high heat in plenty of oil, frying both sides until crispy.
Cooking tips 💡
- If you add breadcrumbs from the start and overmix, they absorb moisture and become soggy, so they must be roughly mixed in just before cooking to maintain crispiness.
- If using pancake mix, it already contains seasoning, so reduce the anchovy fish sauce to half a spoon to adjust the saltiness.
- If you're not good at flipping a large pancake, make small, bite-sized fritters from the start; they won't tear and are much easier to handle.
