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.
