Ingredients
- 100g Plain flour
- A pinch of salt
- 1 Egg
- 300ml Milk
- 2tbsp Vegetable oil
- 100g Beansprouts
- 100g Mushrooms, sliced
- 2 Pak choi, roughly chopped

- 1tsp Chinese 5 spice powder
- 150g Mature Cheddar cheese, cut into small cubes
- 2tsp Sesame seeds
Method
- STEP 1
Sift the flour and salt into a large bowl. Add the egg and milk and beat with a wire whisk to make a smooth batter.
- STEP 2
Add a few drops of oil to a pancake pan or heavy-based frying pan. Pour in a thin stream of batter, tilting the pan so that the batter flows evenly across the surface. Cook over a medium heat until set, then flip over to cook the other side. Cook 4 large or 8 small pancakes altogether, keeping them in a warm place.
- STEP 3
Heat the remaining oil in a wok or large frying pan, then add the bean sprouts, mushrooms, pak choi, carrot and red or yellow pepper.
- STEP 4
Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are cooked, yet still crunchy. Stir in the Chinese 5-spice powder.
- STEP 5
Add the cheese cubes to the stir-fry mixture, then use this to fill the pancakes. Fold them into triangles or roll them up.
