Preparation
Marinating the Vegetables
Rinse vegetables
Rinse the green onions and garlic chives thoroughly under cold water.
Salt and rest
In a mixing bowl, toss with a pinch of salt and let sit for 10 minutes to draw out moisture.
Dry vegetables
Pat dry with paper towels to absorb excess moisture.
Preparing the Batter
Mix batter
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cold water, beaten egg, and salt until smooth.
Use ice-cold water to keep the batter light and airy.
Fold in vegetables
Fold in the prepared vegetables and mix gently until evenly combined.
Rest batter
Let the batter rest in the fridge for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Ensure no large clumps of flour remain in the batter for even cooking.
Cooking Process
Preheating
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat with a splash of vegetable oil.
Caramelizing & Flipping
Pour a ladleful of batter into the hot skillet, spreading it to form an even layer. Cook until the edges are golden and crispy. Carefully flip and cook the other side until brown and crispy as well.
