| Seafood & Scallion Pancake, Korean style |
Pancakes and waffles are, after all, thrifty, filling, quick, easy and delicious. And they stand in for a variety of meals: breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks.
This Korean-Style Seafood Pancake, adapted from maangchi*, is more special than most but is not overly extravagant, especially while M&S seafood is on a 3-fer-£12 offer. It's especially suitable for pensioners/couples looking for a celebration meal.
If youve had a meal in a Korean restaurant, you'll know how popular Korean pancakes are. This one is both soft and crispy and delightfully savoury, without spice or garlic. Usually served with hot'ish sauce, the pancakes also go well with 67's own make-ahead (milder) Sweet Chilli Sauce or if time is short, oyster or hoisin sauce.
The spring onions don't overwhelm; they soften and mellow after cooking.
The pancake is wonderful at any time of day. On its own, it's a protein packed low-carb delight but served with rice or Asian soup noodles, it's even better.
