Procedure

  1. MIX. To make the dipping sauce, combine soy sauce, white sugar, vinegar, ginger and garlic in a small bowl. Mix well then stir in sesame oil. Set aside.
  2. SIFT & WHISK. To make the batter mixture, sift in flour, cornstarch, salt, and AJI-NO-MOTO® in a bowl. Slowly whisk in ice water then add the eggs. Mix well. Set aside then chill.
  3. MIX. To prepare the filling, combine leeks, spring onion, boiled kamote, squid, shrimps, shallots and togue in a separate bowl. Pour in the cold batter and mix well. In small plates, divide the mixture into 9 equal portions with 1/3 cup of chilled batter per portion. Ensure that each portion has equal amounts of shrimps, squid rings and vegetables.
  4. PAN-FRY. In a non-stick pan, heat 1 Tbsp. oil. Pour in one pancake. Flatten with a spatula and spread the batter evenly on the pan. Cook on high heat on both sides until crispy and golden brown. Remove from the pan. Drain excess oil using strainer or colander. Do the same for the rest of the batter.
  5. SERVE. Transfer to a serving platter or individual plates. Serve with a side of dipping sauce. Enjoy while hot.
