Hold slippery squid firmly while cutting to prevent the knife from slipping and injuring your fingers.

Cut 50g washed scallions into 5cm sections. Slice 150g squid into thin strips, and rinse together with 100g shrimp.

Chop the vegetables first before cutting seafood to keep the cutting board clean and hygienic.

In a mixing bowl, combine 100g all-purpose flour, 30g rice flour, 1 egg, 120ml ice water, 2g salt, 1g white pepper, and 2g onion powder. Whisk quickly until a smooth, lump-free batter forms.

Watch out

Always use ice water for the batter! The temperature shock between icy batter and hot oil creates the crispiness.

Beware of light oil splatters when pouring wet batter into hot oil.

Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat, add 45ml cooking oil. Pour in the pancake mixture, quickly spread into an even round shape using a spatula, and pan-fry for 3-4 minutes until the edges bubble and the bottom turns crispy golden brown.

Use more oil than normal stir-frying and ensure the pan is hot enough to prevent sticking and guarantee crispiness.

Check that the bottom is loose, then quickly flip the pancake over. Pan-fry the other side over medium heat for about 3 minutes until golden and crispy, and the pancake slides freely in the pan.

Ensure the bottom is set and crispy before flipping, otherwise the pancake will break apart easily.

The pancake is extremely hot when fresh out of the pan. Press firmly with a knife to slice rather than using your hands.
