Happy new year! Let's welcome 2025 with these incredible Chinese spring onion pancakes. Yes, they do take a bit of work, but they are very simple to make, and well worth the time. They're also super cheap; under $1.15/£0.91 for six pancakes! Perfect for those of us who've perhaps overspent during the festive period

Welcome to my kitchen (lab?)
My channel is you watching the results of my 2am thoughts of “I wonder what would happen if I put A with B?” The answers lean heavily towards cake, and my ongoing quest to find a good meat substitute. I’m a vegan that loves animal products, but hates what’s involved; so I’ve dived headfirst into a rabbit hole of different plant-based textures and flavours. These are often the 1st time that I’ve tried a recipe, and I’ll talk you through why I’m using the ingredients and what I think happened when things go wrong.
Grab a vessel of whatever makes you happy and enjoy, but be warned; it’s messy here sometimes!
