Cilantro and Carrot Egg Pan Cake (香菜蛋饼)


When I first visited China, I was surprised at all of the different kinds of egg pancakes, and flour pancakes there were. It's refreshing to have a small egg pancake like this for lunch, or brunch. It's lite savory taste works well with the richness of an egg.

Cilantro and Carrot Egg Pan Cake

Ingredients:


2 eggs



1 carrot (finely chopped)



2 Tbsp cilantro (finely chopped)



1/2 tsp water



1/2 tsp sesame oil



Instructions:

1. Combine all of the ingredients together, and whisk abruptly for about 30 seconds.

2. Heat a non-stick skillet to medium heat.

3. Pour just enough of the liquid in a hot non-stick skillet to cover the complete bottom.

4. Turn fire to lowest setting, and cover with a tight lid.

5. Loosen the side of the egg pancake with a rubber spatula. Remove from pan and serve.

6. Repeat process until all the liquid is gone.



Cooks Helpful hints:


This is a crape like egg pan cake, so it will be very thin. If you fold it into quarters it has a nice layered texture when you eat it.

Enjoy!
