How to Make Chive and Pork Pancakes

Chive and pork pancakes are a savory, satisfying dish with a crispy exterior and juicy filling. Here’s a simple guide to making them at home.

Ingredients: For the dough, mix 2 cups all-purpose flour with ¾ cup warm water, kneading into a smooth ball. Let it rest for 30 minutes. For the filling, combine 200g ground pork, 1 cup finely chopped chives, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp sesame oil, ½ tsp salt, and a pinch of pepper.

Steps:

1. Prepare the dough: Divide the rested dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each into a thin circle, brush with oil, and coil it into a spiral. Flatten slightly, then roll into a 6-inch pancake.

2. Add filling: Place 1-2 tbsp of the filling in the center, fold the edges over, and seal tightly into a pouch. Flatten gently.

3. Cook: Heat 2 tbsp oil in a pan over medium heat. Cook each pancake for 3-4 minutes per side until golden and crispy.

Serving tip: Enjoy hot with a dipping sauce of soy sauce and vinegar. These pancakes are perfect for breakfast or as a snack!
