  • 3. Place the vegetables onto a large piece of cheesecloth, wrap and squeeze tightly, until completely drained.
  • 4. Next place the drained vegetables into a bowl and add the sambal oelek, green onion, black pepper, rice flour and cornstarch, mixing well.
  • 5. Lightly stir your egg then add it to the mixture until well mixed.
  • 6. Divide the vegetable mixture into into 4 balls and form into patties. Next, add the oil to a frying pan. When ready, fry the patties 3 minutes per side, until crispy and brown.
  • 7. When ready, serve the crispy pancakes with lettuce, herbs, and sauce.
