Soft and Savory Eggplant Pancakes for Breakfast
Hey everyone! My mom gave me two small eggplants when I went home, and I decided to use them to make eggplant pancakes for breakfast today. They turned out so soft, sticky, and incredibly delicious. This recipe is super easy to make, only taking about twenty minutes, and the cooking method is frying. The taste is savory, which is just perfect for a morning meal.
Let’s start by getting our ingredients ready. You’ll need two small eggplants as the main ingredient. For side ingredients, you’ll need two eggs and one scallion. As for seasonings, you’ll want some flour, salt, Chinese five – spice powder (similar to a blend of spices), and a little bit of chicken bouillon powder.
Now, let’s get cooking! First, peel the eggplants, wash them, and cut them into thin strips. Then, soak the eggplant strips in salted water for five minutes. After that, rinse them again and set them aside. This step helps to remove any bitterness from the eggplants.
Next, gather your side ingredients – the eggs and the scallion. Having everything ready will make the cooking process go smoothly.
Bring some water to a boil in a pot. Once the water is boiling, put the eggplant strips in and steam them for five minutes. Steaming makes the eggplants soft and easy to work with.
Take the steamed eggplant strips out and let them cool down. Then, put them in a bowl. Chop the scallion into small pieces and add them to the bowl. Crack two eggs into the bowl as well. Sprinkle in some salt, Chinese five – spice powder, chicken bouillon powder, and an appropriate amount of flour. Stir everything together until it forms a thick paste.
Heat up a frying pan and pour a little bit of oil in it. Pour some of the eggplant paste into the pan and spread it out to form a pancake. Fry the pancake on both sides until it turns golden brown. You’ll know it’s ready when it has a nice, crispy exterior and a soft interior.
And there you have it! Your soft and savory eggplant pancakes are done. Look at these mouth – watering pancakes.
They’re the perfect thing to have for breakfast. The combination of the soft eggplant, the savory seasonings, and the crispy exterior makes every bite a delight.
So, why not give this easy and delicious eggplant pancake recipe a try? It’s a great way to start your day with a tasty and nutritious meal.
