Alternatively, use a double boiler or pot steamer to heat your pancakes, being sure to line it with baking paper to prevent sticking. Each sheet of tinfoil should be large enough to roll into balls, about 8cm in diameter.


Ingredients

Honey-Hoisin Kumara

  • 200g kumara, scrubbed and diced 1cm
  • 1 teaspoon runny honey
  • ½ tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • Zest of 1 lime

Ginger Soy Stir-Fry

  • 1 baby bok choy, end trimmed 1cm, roughly chopped
  • ½ cup frozen, shelled edamame beans
  • 2 baby turnips, washed and cut into 0.5cm-thick wedges
  • 1 spring onion, white part only, thinly sliced
  • ½ teaspoon finely grated ginger
  • ½ tablespoon soy sauce
  • Juice of ½ lime

Chinese Pancakes

  • 3 large squares foil (see tip)
  • 6 Chinese pancakes

To Serve

  • 1-2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 1 spring onion, green part only, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped peanuts
  • 1 tablespoon picked coriander leaves

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 220oC. Bring a half full kettle to the boil. Line an oven tray with baking paper. Toss kumara, honey and hoisin sauce with a drizzle of olive oil on prepared tray. Season with salt and pepper and cook for about 15 minutes, until starting to caramelise. Turn once during cooking. Toss through lime zest and set aside.
  2. While kumara cooks, place bok choy, edamame and a small pinch of salt in a heat-proof bowl and cover with boiling water. Cover with a plate and leave 1-2 minutes, until bright green and tender. Drain and toss with a drizzle of olive oil.
  3. Make 3 large equal-sized balls of foil (measuring about 8cm in diameter) and arrange in a triangle at the bottom of a large pot. Line a small heat-proof plate with baking paper and arrange pancakes around plate, in a single layer, overlapping slightly.
  4. Fill pot with water to just below the top of the foil balls and place plate on top. Bring to a boil on high heat. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and steam for about 5 minutes, until pancakes are warm and silky. While pancakes cook, heat a drizzle of oil in a small fry-pan on medium heat.
  5. Stir-fry baby turnip for 3-4 minutes, until starting to brown lightly. Add spring onion, ginger, bok choy and edamame and cook for 1 minute, until softened. Add soy sauce and lime juice, and cook, tossing constantly, until radishes are coated and all liquid has reduced.
  6. To serve, place Chinese pancakes onto a plate and add a dollop of hoisin sauce. Top with ginger soy stir-fry and sprinkle with spring onion, peanuts and coriander. Serve honey-hoisin kumara on the side.
