  3. 3 Mix the cabbage and green onions into the bowl of flour, stirring gently so that the vegetables remain fluffy and not mushy.
  4. 4 Scoop the batter onto a greased non-stick pan, spread it into a 2 cm thick circle, arrange slices of pork on top, and fry over medium heat for 6 minutes.
  5. 5 Flip the pancake, fry for another 6 minutes until the meat side is golden brown and crispy, then flip it again for another 2 minutes to cook evenly.
