Chinese Chives Pancake

You know, sometimes it is easy to trick someone to eat something he doesn't actually fancy...like chives...cooked them in pancake and he will eat without making much fuss. I managed to trick Piggy boy to eat chives in a pancake. If I were to just fry them with eggs or with shrimps, he will not eat :( so I chopped them up and added them into the pancake batter and fry them on a non-stick crepe pan and guess what ?....he gobbled the chives pancake hungrily and told me , " good , this is good " (",) All I did was told him " hey buddy, please try out my new pancake recipe...lotz of dried shrimps and bird's eye chillies " :))) He got tricked ! LOL!

This chinese chives pancake recipe is by Amy Beh . I used dried shrimps instead of fresh ones for the dried ones are more fragrant. Simple and easy to make pancake and dip it with Thai sweet chilli sauce..Mmmm yummy best to serve them as tea snack or breakfast treat.
