Method

  1. 1

    Whisk the flour, egg and water together into a smooth batter.

  2. 2

    Fold the shredded cabbage and most of the spring onion through the batter.

  3. 3

    Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat, pour in the batter and spread evenly, then lay the bacon on top.

  4. 4

    Cook for 4–5 minutes until set and golden underneath, then carefully flip and cook a further 4–5 minutes until the bacon is cooked and the pancake is golden.

  5. 5

    Season to taste, then drizzle with brown sauce and mayonnaise, and scatter with bonito flakes and the remaining spring onion.

Use up the rest

Cooking this for one leaves 6 rashers streaky bacon, 7 spring onions and ¾ white cabbage. These recipes finish them off, so plan one later in the same week.

Good with the rest of your week
