Vegetable Pancake

-


Vegetable pancake is one of my favorite breakfast food. It is delicious, nutritious and fulfilling. It is also a flexible recipe, as I can always change some of the ingredients based on what I have in the kitchen. 

Lately I have been persuading myself to eat more and more vegetable everyday. As our age increase year by year, our risk in getting disease also increase. Diabetes, high blood pressure and heart diseases are some of the major health problems faced by many of us. There are also the dangerous cancer and kidney related diseases. Some efforts that we can all do to maintain our health are to consume more fruits and vegetables and drink enough water everyday. These are some of the easy way to take good care of our body. 

So I made vegetable pancake as an effort to add more vegetable into my breakfast. The batter is soft but not fluffy, added with some crunchy vegetable such as cabbages and carrot. I just use ingredients that I already have in the kitchen. You can add different kind of vegetables such as potatoes, purple cabbages, chives, and many more. Usually I like to add sweet and crunchy vegetables in my pancake. I also loves to add some herbs sometimes, such as Chinese celery and green onion. Adding green pepper will also add some flavor to it. 

I love my vegetable pancake with some sauce on the top. I think melted cheese or spaghetti sauce will add the deliciousness of the dish. And also maybe some mayonnaise. Sometimes I also like to put black pepper sauce on it. Although it is a vegetable pancake, this time I have added some beef floss on it, which brought the flavor to the different level.

Malay/English I was cooking fish curry when my mom asked me to cook this green vegetable. It was just recently my family eat this vegetable. It looks like lettuce to me. I even imagine to eat it raw in my sandwich. The packaging wrote Yau Mark Tam. Yau mark tam? A vegetable from China I guess. Then I thought I would just sauté it with anchovies. And today I searched about yau mark tam in the internet and... it is actually romaine lettuce... hahaha... But sauteed romaine lettuce is also delicious. So let's look at the recipe.

Lempeng : Flat Pancake Recipe

Lempeng (lamp-eng) or flat pancake is our regular meal for breakfast. It is easy to make, uses simple ingredients and delicious. The ingredients are all purpose flour, egg, salt, margarine and water. It is cooked in a round and flat shape but usually the texture differs according to personal preference. Some people loves it thick and soft. Some other loves it thin and soft. Some loves the surface to be crunchy but soft in the middle. I prefer the third version of lempeng. Lempeng is usually eaten with granulated sugar, condensed milk and syrups. The basic lempeng is plain in flavor, making it suitable to be eaten with condiments. I like it with curry. It is so delicious when eaten together until I usually add one more piece in my plate. =) Ready in 15 to 30 minutes. For 5 servings Ingredients 3 cups all purpose flour 1 egg 1 teaspoon salt 1 to 2 tablespoons margarine Water Methods Mix all the ingredients together except water. It is okay if the marg
