Description
A delicious recipe for Shanghai Soy-Garlic Noodle Pancakes that combines savory flavors with a crispy texture.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces cooked spaghetti or ramen noodles
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked noodles, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped green onions. Mix well until the noodles are evenly coated.
- Add the beaten egg, flour, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) to the noodle mixture. Stir until everything is well combined and forms a thick batter.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, scoop about 1/2 cup of the noodle mixture into the skillet, flattening it slightly with a spatula to form a pancake. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown and crispy.
- Carefully flip the pancake and add another tablespoon of oil if needed. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the second side is golden brown.
- Remove the pancake from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Repeat with the remaining noodle mixture, adding more oil as necessary.
- Slice the pancakes into wedges and serve hot, optionally with soy sauce or chili sauce for dipping.
Notes
- For a vegetarian version, add shredded carrots, bell peppers, or mushrooms to the noodle mixture for extra flavor and nutrition.
- To make these pancakes spicier, incorporate chopped fresh chili peppers or a dash of sriracha into the batter.
