To serve
Combine rice flour, stock powder, baking powder, salt and baking soda in a large bowl. Add eggs, ginger, sesame oil, chilli flakes and water and mix until smooth. Mix in cabbage, kumara or carrot and prawns. There will be just enough batter to hold the vegetable filling together.
Heat about 1 tsp oil in a large, heavybased frypan over a medium heat and tip ½ cup of batter into the pan, pressing out to form into a thick pancake about 12-15cm diameter. Cook over a medium-low heat until filling is set and pancakes are golden (2-3 minutes each side). Stack on a plate in a warm oven while you cook the remaining pancakes.
To serve, squiggle about ½ tsp hoisin sauce and 1 tsp mayonnaise over each pancake and top with spring onion curls, carrot and cabbage.
TIPS
To save time use two pans to cook the pancakes.
To make spring onion curls, cut spring onions lengthways into very thin strips, using both the white and the green. Place in a bowl, cover with water and a handful of ice cubes. In a few minutes the slices will have curled up. Drain and use as a garnish.
