These Japanese-inspired pancakes are a nifty way of using up any leftover coleslaw you might have kicking about in the fridge. Japanese pancakes tend to be lighter and fluffier than regular pancakes – they're sometimes called soufflé pancakes. This quick and easy recipe makes a great lunch or light dinner. See method

Method

  1. Put the flour in a bowl, make a well in the centre and crack in the egg. Stir to combine, then gradually add 50ml water to make a smooth batter. Stir in the leftover coleslaw, 1 tbsp soy sauce and 3 tbsp of the chopped spring onions. 
  2. Heat the oil in a 23cm nonstick frying pan over a medium heat and add the batter, pressing down to level with the back of a spoon. Cook for 4-5 mins or until just set and golden brown on the bottom, then slide onto a plate and carefully flip back into the pan so the uncooked side is at the bottom. Cook for a further 2-3 mins until set on the bottom and golden brown, then transfer to a plate or board. 
  3. Meanwhile, mix the mayonnaise with the lime juice in a bowl, and the ketchup with the honey, Worcestershire sauce and remaining 1 tsp soy sauce in a separate small bowl. Drizzle the sauces over the pancake and scatter with the remaining spring onions to serve.
