Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Soaking minced dried shrimp in water and cooking wine for 5 minutes removes any fishy odor and significantly improves texture.
  • Avoid pressing or over-mixing the lettuce into the batter, as this can crush it, release bitterness, and dull its crunch.
  • Adding potato starch to the pancake flour enhances the crispiness of the final result.
  • Use plenty of oil and cook over medium heat to trap the lettuce’s moisture and maintain crispness for longer.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to creatively and deliciously use up leftover lettuce after eating meat.
  • People looking for pancakes with an intense crisp exterior and a juicy, savory interior.
  • Anyone wanting a light, satisfying late-night snack or a rich, savory side dish to pair with soju.
