30-Minute Meal: Salty Pancakes with Dried Shrimps Recipe

Salty Pancakes with Dried Shrimps and Shredded CabbageDue to the positive responses from the debut of "Rasa Malaysia 30-Minute Meals," I came home today and started cooking the minute I walked into the house. I was driven by the intention to further impress my readers.

Shrimp and Green Beans CurryInspired by Eat First Think Later's recipe, today's creation is Salty Pancakes with Dried Shrimps and Shredded Cabbages. The end results, as you can see on your screen, are absolutely delish.

This meal took me practically 20 minutes to prepare and I am not exaggerating. Using some of the most basic ingredients, these salty pancakes with dried shrimps are rather filling. Serve them with squirts of chili sauce and you will be in food heaven.

Recipe: Salty Pancakes with Dried Shrimps and Shredded Cabbage

Ingredients:

1 cup of all-purpose flour
1 cup of water
1 egg
1/2 cup of dried shrimps (soak for 5 minutes in hot water)
1 cup of shredded cabbages
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of sugar

Soak the dried shrimps in hot water for 5 minutes. Whisk all ingredients in a bowl until well blended and smooth. Heat up the pan and add some cooking oil. Use a ladle to scoop up the batter and pour it onto the pan. Flip the salty pancakes and cook it to light brown on both sides.

Serve hot with chili sauce.

Notes:
  1. You can substitude shredded cabbages with 1 stalk of scallion (chopped).
  2. Rasa Malaysia recommends Maggie Chili Sauce if you are in Malaysia or Sri Racha Chili Sauce if you are in the United States.
  3. I hope the second picture doesn't look too "religious." I was trying to be creative?! *wink*

Lucia and WMW - yeah, shrimps again, but dried ones. ;)

Boo - Sambal Heebee...good idea. You don't need the chili sauce then.

Asha - thanks for visiting RM and yes, Happy Thanksgiving to you too.

Meiyen - they are very easy to make, but you are in KL, so you don't have to make anything at home, just go out and eat. I have no choice, I have to cook if I want to eat Malaysian food. :(

your entries never fail to make me feel hungry... sheesh!

 

Blogger Mallika said ... (6:05 AM) : 

Can I use normal shrimps instead of dry one? Lovely recipe...

 

Blogger Rasa Malaysia said ... (8:35 AM) : 

Ho - yep, you can't get this kind of home-style pancakes at restaurants. Gotta make them yourself.

Passionate Eater - It's really easy. I wasn't "bluffing." There is no need to knead the dough, just whish everything together and voila, they are done!

Tonixe - LOL. Maybe I should be the one watching my weight now! It looks like I eat a lot more now that I have a food blog. :-O

Chris and all readers of Rasa Malaysia - Happy Thanksgiving to all. I am not going to make any Turkey or American traditional food, stay tuned for what I am going to cook!

Michael - Just make sure you don't drool in your cubicle or Elliot is going to tell Company X's boss!

Mallika - The essence of this recipe is actually the "dried shrimpy" flavors, so I would not encourage that. But I haven't tried them with normal shrimps, so there. ;)

 

Blogger Meiyen said ... (6:36 PM) :
