Delicious Pancake Recipe: Summer Rolls with Salmon and Thai Mayo

Cyril Lignac offers a delicious clash of cultures with this galette that flirts with spring roll. Here is the procedure to follow to make it for 4 people.

Ingredients:

For the Wakame Pancake Batter:

• 400 g of buckwheat flour
• 2 eggs
• 75 g of water
• 1 teaspoon wakame powder (edible seaweed)
• 1 pinch of salt
• 2 tablespoons of neutral oil
• 1 tablespoon sesame wasabi (roasted sesame seeds flavored with wasabi)
• 3 slices of smoked salmon
• 1 handful of baby spinach
• 1 handful of arugula sprouts
• 1 mango, sliced
• Mint leaves

To make the Thai mayonnaise sauce:

• 75 g of powdered sugar
• 75 g of fish sauce
• 12 cl of rice vinegar
• 20 g kombu seaweed (brown seaweed from the coast of Britain)
• 20 g dry acorn flakes (dried fish preparation)
• 250 g homemade mayonnaise

Recipe:

1. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, wakame powder and a pinch of fleur de sel with the egg and water. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes, this will give you time to make the rolls.
2. Pour one liter of water to boil in a pot. Then add the kombu, leave to infuse for about half an hour. Then add the bonito flakes and wrap in the pan. Leave to infuse for 1 hour and strain through a fine sieve.
3. Pour 10cl of your stock and mix with sugar, fish sauce, rice vinegar and mayonnaise. Cool book.
4. Place a greased paper towel on a hot pan and pour a ladleful of batter. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and pancakes are golden, flip and repeat the process. Make as many pancakes as you like. Place a sheet of cling film on top of the pancake, a row of spinach leaves, a few arugula leaves, a mint leaf, across a slice of salmon and on top of the mango slices, wrap using the film and set aside.
5. Remove from the film and cut the result into even, relatively thick pieces. Sprinkle with sesame wasabi. Now you can put your masterpiece in a circle on a plate and serve with a little mayonnaise in the middle.

For the cinnamon sugar:

• 50 g of powdered sugar

2. Mix the flour and sugar in a bowl, then gradually add the eggs, butter, milk and rum. Leave the result to stand at room temperature for about twenty minutes. This is your pancake batter!
3. Run the greased paper through the hot crepe maker. If you don’t have a crepe maker, you can of course make your crepes in a pan. Pour the pancake batter and try to create a golden pancake on both sides. You can then place your precious pancakes on a plate, where you will protect them with a sheet of aluminum foil.
4. Coat them with cinnamon oil (making item #1), then roll your pancakes. If you’ve made your crepes with a crepe maker, in a hot pan, add some butter and start browning a little. Fry and color the rolled pancakes on all sides. Then dip in cinnamon sugar.
5. Arrange the rolls in a nice dish and using the cream in the pocket, make small threads on the rolls.
