As you all probably know, Boston has been going through a chaotic couple of hours with the suspect of the Boston Marathon Bombing incident on the run. With a "shelter in place" order, it was a great chance to use up some left over ingredients in the fridge!

"Negi Yaki" is basically a savoury pancake made with just green onions ("Negi"). You usually fold the pancake up and enjoy it like a crepe. I hid some cheese in mine. Since you fry it, the outside becomes very crunchy and since we use starch in the mix, the pancake itself becomes pleasantly chewy. The smell of the sesame oil is perfectly appetizing as well. I mixed some soy sauce, sesame seeds and chopped up garlic as a dipping sauce.

What You Need:
(Makes 1 pancake)
  • A bunch of chopped up green onions/spring onions
  • 2 tbsp all purpose flour (I used whole wheat)
  • 1 tbsp starch (I used corn starch)
  • 4 tbsp water
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/2 tsp Hondashi soup stock

Steps:
  1. Simply mix the ingredients in a bowl.
  2. Heat a skillet on HIGH with oil (I put it about a tsp of olive oil), pour in the mix like a pancake. Fry till crispy.
  3. Place any toppings of your preference (I put in some cheese), turn the heat down to LOW heat, fold the pancake in half like an omelette.
  4. Fry on MEDIUM to HIGH heat until crispy on both sides. Make the dipping sauce and enjoy!
