Japanese Style Savory Vegetable Pancakes with Chicken - EwE


This week,  for Eating with Ellie, I got to choose the recipe and I couldn't resist these Japanese Style Savory Vegetable Pancakes with Chicken.  I am not sure why she calls them vegetable pancakes with chicken.  Once there is chicken, we no longer consider them vegetable or at least, I don't.

 I loved these.  The taste and the texture were pleasing.  they were good with or without the sauce which was easy to make.

 I did sub in chicken for the shrimp which is not kosher, therefore not allowed for us.  I cut two cutlets into small pieces (one half inch) and browned them in a little olive oil.  I added them to the rest of the ingredients at the end.

 Japanese Style Savory Vegetable Pancakes with Chicken - adapted ingredients.

 This has 2 chicken cutlets
1 bag of shredded cabbage
4 large scallions, chopped
2 medium carrots, shredded
eggs
gluten-free flour
low sodium soy sauce
toasted sesame oil
oil for cooking the pancakes

For the sauce:  ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce  (it is tasty)

I want to makes these again and I don't think, I would change a thing in the adapted recipe. They are easy to make and except the cooking time which is stretched out because you can only cook a small number of pancakes, at one time, everything goes smoothly.  A success story for out home.

Please stop at our group page and see what the other members have done with this recipe, especially if you are a shrimp lover.  I don't know what the shrimp tasted like in this dish but I do know, the chicken was a winner.

    These sound spectacular! I'd be happy with either chicken or shrimp--what terrific veggie pancakes!

    Thanks for a great choice! These were fun and voted in as a keeper at my house. I think a little chicken or cooked sausage would be good in these. We enjoyed them according to the recipe and didn't find the shrimp particularly prominent. *Ü*

    Glad you liked these Chaya. They weren't for me, but it didn't help that I am bad at cooking this sort of thing.

    I really liked these - especially since they had shrimp in the. Definitely making again. I will have to try these with some shredded chicken.

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I
