Mushroom Gochujang pancakes with Pete's Nam Phrik sauce

Note: The photo here is of Ottolenghi's asparagus pancake

Ingredients:

350g Fried, chopped mushrooms (I use sesame oil to fry and Penny bun ceps (porcini)- because I have them in abundance!). Any edible mushrooms will do. Put them in a dry pan, med. heat with the lid on for 4 mins. Remove the lid and then evaporate all the liquid.

Filling...

Batter...

135g plain flour

60g rice flour

1 egg

325 ml cold water

1½ tbl gochujang fermented chilli paste (some other chilli paste will suffice, but it will not be the same).

5g fresh coriander, finely chopped

½ red chilli, deseeded, finely chopped

75 ml sunflower-, rapeseed- or conola oil

½ tsp salt

Method:

Mix the flours and salt, make a well and slowly pour in the mixture of egg, water, coriander, chilli paste and chopped chilli. - stirring all the time until just combined.

Heat 15ml of oil in a non-stick frying pan - medium high heat, heat ¼ of the mushrooms through and pour in ¼ of the pancake batter. Shake the pan to distribute the batter. Fry for 2½ mins. Turn the pancake over and fry the second side for a further 2½ mins, until golden. Serve with my Nam Phrik sauce (next entry).
