At the restaurant, they call it “Pan Fried Onion Cake”. My kid calls it “Chinese Pizza”, and I call it “Green Onion Pancake”. But, regardless of the name, this dish is an all time favorite. Since I did not know how to make it (I tried and failed 3 times miserably), I used to spend a couple of dollars buying it at the local restaurant.

I remember that my father used to make it when I was a child. Luckily, I spent some quality time with him last Summer, and learned his recipe. I could not believe how easy it was!

Ingredients (3 servings)

1 cup High Gluten Flour

1 egg

1-1/2 cup milk

1/2 cup chopped Green Onions (if you love this, put more!)

1 tsp. Garlic Powder

Salt to taste

1 Tbs. Oil for the mixture

NOTE: Additional oil is needed for the pan

Combine all ingredients, mix well.

Green Onion Cake Mixture

Heat pan with about 2 tbs. of oil. For each cake, pour enough of the mixture in the pan to make a thin layer. Make sure you spread it evenly all around the pan. Flip the cake as the bottom becomes lightly brown.

Pan Frying the Cake

Repeat with all the cakes. Serve hot!

The second time, I put a piece of frozen chicken and poured a can of V8 into it, boiled and ate it. Of course, there are other moments when I just picked out frozen food and microwaved them. But, since I try my best to eat personally cooked meals, these were my most desperate moments. 3.
