RECIPE BY: The Saffron Stories
These scallion pancakes are high in protein and pair perfectly with the spicy sauce as an accompaniment. You can even make them in bulk and store in the fridge for whenever you want a quick meal– if they’re fried on a pan they’ll be just as crispy as when you first made them. You can also use any veggies you like in the batter: broccoli, red peppers, greens and onions would also work great!
