Chinese Pancakes
- 8 ounces plain flour 225g
- 1 pint water 300 ml
- 1 teaspoon sunflower oil 5ml spoon
- 4 ounces beansprouts 100g
- 1 bunch spring onions trimmed and sliced lengthways
- 8 ounces water chestnuts drained and sliced, 227g
- 1 inch root ginger 2.5cm piece of, peeled and very finely chopped
- 4 tablespoons hoisin sauce 4x15 ml spoon
- 2 tablespoons dry sherry 2x15 ml spoon
- Sieve the flour into a bowl. Boil the water and the oil and pour into the flour. Stir until blended and knead well for up to 3 minutes.
- Divide into 2 pieces and roll each into a sausage shape. Cut each ''sausage'' into 6 pieces (12 pieces in all). Roll out each piece to a circle 6 inches (15 cm) in diameter, and sandwich two together.
- Heat the frying pan, without fat, to a moderate heat. Put one ''sandwich'' in at a time, and turn it over when brown spots appear on the underside. Cook the other side, and peel the pancakes apart after removing them from the pan.
- Cover with damp tea-towel, while you cook the other pancakes. Put all the filling ingredients in a pan, and toss until they are heated through.
