Short’s Kitchen: Chive Pancake
CHIVE PANCAKES
They’re green, they’re stripey, they’re colorful, and they’re delicious and easy to make. They’re Chive Pancakes!
Short: I think these would be an ideal snack to provide at a party (they look so happy and snazzy!) but Bald and I enjoyed them ourselves today for lunch.
Bald: Well, Short, some of the best parties are with only two people. You know, party? Two people, party…?
Short: Back to lunch -
The ingredients are chives (1 large bunch), 6 spoonfuls of flour (unless I say otherwise, I always use a regular dessert spoon), 1 egg, 1 cup of water, 1 spoonful of soy sauce, 1/4 of a spoonful of salt, cooking oil, and for garnish and extra flavor, thin slices of as many colorful peppers (capsicums) as you can get your hands on.
Todays’ recipe is based on Eugene’s recipe (www.unolee.com) with some extra Short tricks!
1. Chop up your chives.
2. Place chopped chives in a bowl, add one cup of water, and mix with a blender.
3. Add the flour, egg, salt and soy sauce.
4. Mix it up some more! (or get your Bald to do it – they’ve got to be good for something!)
Short: Aren’t these colors wonderful!
Chop up your peppers into fairly thin slices. If you don’t have any pepper, you can also use more chopped chives, or even parsley or carrot.
Warm the oil in your pan on a medium heat, then pour in the mixture.
Short: You can make them any size you like, obviously, but I like them about three inches across.
While they’re cooking on the underside, add your pepper garnish on top. The garnish will sink into the batter so you can then flip them over easily and the whole thing will stick together.
Serve them with a dipping sauce. For the sauce, I use 1 spoonful of soy sauce, 1 spoonful of rice wine vinegar, 1/2 spoonful of sugar and a pinch of sesame seeds.
Bald and I enjoyed these, and I hope you do too! ^^
See you again soon –
Short.

jeroxie.com/addiction, thanks. we had fun making them.
I thought the same too! Like patchwork…:-) I’m a fan of Chives. Most of time I cooked chives with Dried shrimps or add it to Beansprouts patties
pixen, a patchwork quilt made out of pancakes! that’s the kind of blanket i’d love.
They are so pretty, and I am sure very delicious. Ill have to try these, I always get the large bag of multi-colored peppers at Sam’s, and love to find new recipes to make with them. They are so healthy and pretty. Gorgeous photos!
Angelia (southerngracegourmet.com), thank you! i have a simple but great recipe for roasted peppers with balsamic vinegar. i will post the recipe sometime.
I would love to try these simple chive pancake. I love the smell of chives
Thanks for sharing such a wonderful delicious pancake 
I just love the vibrant green color and the addition of colorful red bell peppers. I bet you can really taste the chives. I have to try this one. I think I have to put this first on my list before the others. You know what, I want us to be neighbors.
My mistake “colorful bell peppers.”
pretty pancakes! They would make great party appetizers. I love all of the colors going on here too.
Jessie, yes, you ca do just red and green for a christmas party ^^
Divina, I thought we are neighbors already. don’t they call this computer page a window? we can wave at each other through the window!
Elin, you’re welcome. hope you enjoy it~!
Congrats…sure a winner..Today Top 9
elin, thank you!
Haha. Sure, sure. I’ll use my vivid imagination.
This looks so good. Do you think I could make it with vegan egg substitute?
holly, i think so, let me know how it goes ^^
These are amazing! I am both apprehensive and enticed by their bright colors : ) Love the idea!
caitlin, thank you. glad you like these little party tricks.
Those are adorable! I grow chives and always have them on hand, I must try these. Thanks for sharing!
meatlessmama, home grown chives are so much better… in fact, home grown anything is better, don’t you think? thanks for dropping by.
just tried these last night….added grilled chicken slices which were good, but I actually liked the peppers better (if for nothing else – the presentation). My husband LOVED them…they did not make it to the table. So looks like this will be made again – thanks for the recipe!
