Ingredients

  • Rice flour (referring to flour made from ground rice)
  • Wheat flour
  • Eggs
  • Cooked cured pork belly
  • Eggplant (buy the long, thin variety; the rounder the better)
  • Cooking oil
  • Salt

Steps

  1. Peel the eggplant and cut it into slices. Cut the cured pork into slices; set aside.
  2. Add 250g of rice flour, 50g of flour, and 1 egg to a basin one by one.
  3. While stirring with chopsticks, add clear water (refer to note: **Water is used to adjust the thickness**) until the rice flour, wheat flour, and egg are mixed into a batter. Stop adding water when the batter attaches to the eggplant slices and meat slices without falling off, then place all the slices into the batter and coat them thoroughly.
  4. Add 10-30ml of cooking oil to a flat-bottomed pan. Turn the heat to low.
  5. Place the coated slices into the pan using chopsticks or a spoon. Fry until golden on both sides, then fry for a further **3-6 minutes** (Note: during frying, the oil level decreases; you may add more oil if needed).
  6. Sprinkle salt, stir-fry evenly to mix, and serve.

Notes

This homemade pancake combines the savory flavor of cured pork with the soft texture of eggplant. The outside is crispy while the inside is soft and moist, making it a filling rice-based dish full of rustic charm. It is rich in carbohydrates and high-quality protein, while the eggplant also provides dietary fiber and vitamins, offering a balanced meat-and-vegetable mix. The difficulty is moderate, requiring control over the batter's consistency and frying heat, but beginners can succeed by following the steps. Total preparation time is about 30 minutes.
