The tastiest Asian style cabbage pancake – filled with a tasty mix of spring onions, cabbage and Asian flavours.

Packed with flavour, they have an amazing texture and, combined with the dipping sauce, they are completely addictive.

It’s pancake day today and you can find tons of pancakes, both sweet and savoury here (some of my favourites below). But in my opinion, you really can’t beat a big juicy stuffed pancake like this one.

I hope you love this and you can find some more inspiration here;

Love, Niki xxx
