Eggless Savoury Chives Pancake 无蛋韭菜薄烤饼
It is very common that the Chinese pancake is cooked without adding in eggs. Mainly because of cost saving. In older days, egg is precious especially for the poor. But mine one is considered as million dollar pancake cause I have dried shrimps on it. haha.... Hubby was craving for Chinese pancake yesterday and I made him this. Its an easy to prepare recipe.
