chicken and cashew pancakes

How To Make chicken and cashew pancakes recipe - Chicken stir-fried with carrots, celery and cabbage, and flavored with orange and sesame, makes a delicious filling for pancakes. The pancakes can be made using a mixture of white and whole-wheat flour, if you like.

SERVES: 4 (MAKES 8)

PREPARATION: 20 MINUTES, COOKING: 30 MINUTES

Ingredients:
3/4 cup (110 g) all-purpose flour
freshly ground black pepper
1 egg, beaten
1 1/4 cups (300 ml) low-fat milk
1 teaspoon (5 ml) canola oil

Chicken and cashew nut filling:
1/3 cup (50 g) cashew nuts
1 tablespoon (15 ml) canola oil
2/3 pound (300 g) boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into strips
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 teaspoon (5 ml) finely chopped fresh ginger
1 red chile, seeded and finely chopped (optional)
2 carrots, cut into thin sticks
2 celery stalks, cut into thin sticks
grated zest of 1/2 orange
1 cup (200 g) savoy cabbage, shredded
1 tablespoon (15 ml) low-sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon (5 ml) sesame oil

Method:
1 To make the pancakes, sift the flour into a bowl and season with a little pepper. Make a well in the center. Combine the egg with the milk, and pour into the well. Gradually whisk the flour into the milk mixture to form a smooth batter.

2 Use a little of the oil to lightly grease an 8 inch (20 cm) nonstick frying pan, and place it over medium heat. Pour in one-eighth of the batter and swirl it evenly across the surface. Cook for 2 minutes, flip the pancake over and cook for about 30 seconds. Slide onto a warm heatproof plate and cover with a sheet of parchment paper.

3 Cook the remaining batter in the same way, making a total of eight pancakes and stacking them up, interleaved with parchment paper. Cover the pancake stack with foil, sealing it well. Place the plate over a saucepan of gently simmering water to keep the pancakes warm.

4 To make the chicken and cashew filling, heat a wok or large frying pan over medium heat. Add the cashews and stir-fry for a few minutes, or until golden. Remove to a plate and set aside.

5 Add the oil to the wok and swirl it around, and add the chicken, garlic, ginger and chile, if using. Stir-fry for 3 minutes, add the carrots and celery and stir-fry for another 2 minutes. Add the orange zest and cabbage and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the soy sauce and sesame oil and stir-fry for another minute. Return the cashews to the wok and toss to combine.

6 Divide the stir-fry filling among the warm pancakes and fold them over or roll them up. Serve immediately.
