Cheung Fun Egg Pancake

Ingredients

• 1 lb cheung fun (cut into 2 inch pieces)
• 2 tbsp neutral oil (divided)
• 8 large eggs
• 4 green onions (trimmed and thinly sliced)
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 0.75 tsp coarse salt
• 0.5 tsp crushed black pepper
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 lap cheong (Chinese sausages, diced)
• hoisin (for serving)
• sesame seeds (for serving)

Steps

1. 1

   In a medium bowl, toss the cut cheung fun with 1 tablespoon of neutral oil to prevent sticking.

2. 2

   In another medium bowl, whisk together the 8 large eggs, sliced green onions, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 3/4 teaspoon coarse salt, and 1/2 teaspoon crushed black pepper until well combined.

3. 3

   Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of neutral oil in a 10-inch non-stick, oven-safe pan over medium heat.

4. 4

   Add the cheung fun to the pan and spread them into an even layer.

5. 5

   Sear the underside of the cheung fun until toasted and golden brown, about 4 to 5 minutes.

6. 6

   Flip the cheung fun or give the pan a few shakes to sear the other side.

7. 7

   Add the soy sauce and shake the pan to coat the cheung fun evenly until it takes on a light brown color.

8. 8

   Stir in the diced lap cheong and cook, tossing occasionally, for about 2 minutes to allow the fat to render.

9. 9

   Pour in the egg mixture, swirling the pan and rearranging the filling as needed so the egg spreads evenly across the noodles.

10. 10

    Allow the bottom of the egg mixture to set by leaving it undisturbed in the pan for 2 to 3 minutes.

11. 11

    Transfer the pan to the oven under the broiler. Broil until the top of the pancake is crisp and golden, about 1 to 2 minutes.

12. 12

    Remove from the oven and allow the pancake to cool in the pan for a few minutes.

13. 13

    Transfer the pancake to a cutting board; it should slide right out of the non-stick pan.

14. 14

    Cut into slices and serve immediately with hoisin sauce and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.

Notes

Cheung fun are rice noodle rolls; they provide a lighter and bouncier texture compared to traditional rice cakes. Ensure your pan is oven-safe before placing it under the broiler.
