Made in a Frying Pan Crispy and Chewy Hirayachi (Okinawan Pancakes)

All you have to do is fry it until the cheese browns nicely.
Using their fingers, my boys gobbled these down without any sauce.
Even my four-year-old first-born veggie hater was able to consume this large amount of Chinese chives, when normally, he'd turn away with one speck of green on his plate!
Hirayachi's are awesome!! Hooray for Okinawa!
Ever since our trip to Okinawa, our family has been hooked on Okinawan cuisine.
This is our variation of hirayachis.
My husband says they're super chewy and soft.
It's a great dish since it's so easy and pleases everyone. Recipe by Mikikimiki
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Finely chop the Chinese chives. Drain the canned tuna. Shred the sliced cheese into small pieces.
- 2
Combine the ingredients in a bowl in the order shown in the ingredients list.
- 3
Tip: If you have time, for a tastier result, when combining the batter ingredients, leave out the Chinese chives, tuna, or cheese, and let it sit in the refrigerator for a few hours before mixing them in.
- 4
Pour the batter into a heated frying pan, fry both sides, then cut it up and serve.
- 5
Tip: After flipping it over, press down on top with the spatula.
- 6
My two boys ate it right up! Since they can be made easily and are such a hit, try serving them for lunch.
- 7
For a grown-up version, try omitting the cheese, and serve it with sauce made with mayonnaise and ponzu, or soy sauce and vinegar (both 50/50 blends)
- 8
If you don't have any dashi stock, substitute with 1 teaspoon dashi stock granules and 100 ml water, since our family's dashi is on the strong side.

Authentic Chijimi (Korean Pancakes) Authentic Chijimi (Korean Pancakes)
I had an opportunity to learn how to make chijimi from a Korean person and was surprised at how tasty it was. I made it into an easy-to-make amount and created this recipe. I also changed it up a bit to make the dipping sauce easily with ponzu sauce and it actually turned out to be even tastier.◆ The batter will taste good even without letting it rest, but it'll be even better if you let it rest. ◆ If you use a large amount of oil to cook, it'll become crispy. ◆ It's convenient to use a seafood mix for squid and shrimp. ◆ I use ponzu sauce for this dipping sauce, but it can be substituted with 3.5 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1.5 tablespoon of rice vinegar. But it will taste better with ponzu sauce if you have it. ◆ It's also delicious to add kimchi, ground meat, chikuwa, various veggies, etc. into the ingredients. Recipe by Mirusuke cookpad.japan -

An Osaka Specialty: Ika-yaki (Squid Pancakes) An Osaka Specialty: Ika-yaki (Squid Pancakes)
These are the ika-yaki sold at a certain department store, and occasionally at food stalls during summer festivals... I found out just recently that this is only sold in the Kansai area. In other regions, 'ika-yaki' means a whole grilled squid! I sometimes get a strong urge for Kansai style ika-yaki, but they don't sell it where I live, so I tried making it.I think at that certain department store they use iriko (dried sardine) dashi stock... but most Kansai people don't use that, so regular dashi should be fine.The key is to press down hard on the pancakes as you cook them.You can make these with just cake flour, but I added some bread flour too for a more chewy texture. For 3 20 cm [7.9 in] pancakes. Recipe by estrela cookpad.japan -
Puffy Rice Flour Pancakes Puffy Rice Flour Pancakes
I uploaded a different recipe for rice flour pancakes, but when those cooled, they didn't taste very good so I came up with a new recipe. This time they taste great when freshly made and when cooled. You can also taste the sweetness of the rice flour.Since rice flour doesn't form lumps easily, you don't need to sift it. If you feel that they will be too chewy, you can adjust with 5-10 g of milk.

When I was thinking about making pancakes, I looked in the fridge and found tofu."If I added tofu to pancake mix, how would it taste??" I wondered. I tried it and...it was more delicious than I thought.Even when they're cool, these pancakes are chewy.They burn easily, so cook them patiently over very low heat.After you add the pancake mix, be careful not to over-mix!The batter is thick since there is no liquid in it, and that's what makes the pancakes turn out so thick.You could also add a bit of milk or soy milk.
