  Sauté shrimp filling

  Place a pan on the stove, then add 450g of minced meat, 125ml of water, 1/3 teaspoon of pepper, 1 teaspoon of seasoning powder, and sauté over high heat.

  When the water in the pan is nearly evaporated, add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil and 25g of diced onion. Sauté the mixture for about 1 minute until the onion becomes fragrant.

  Place a new pan on the stove, add a little cooking oil, the prepared shrimp, and 1/2 teaspoon of seasoning powder, then sauté over high heat until the shrimp is cooked.

  Mix the pancake batter

  Add 425g of tapioca flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 tablespoon of cooking oil into a bowl, then use a mixer to mix on low speed.

  Next, gradually add 294ml of boiling water and continue mixing on low speed for 4 minutes.

  After 4 minutes, increase the mixer to medium speed and knead the dough for another 2 minutes until the dough forms a smooth and elastic ball.

  Tip: If you don’t have a dough mixer, you can knead the dough by hand!

  Press the cake

  Roll the dough into a long shape, then divide it into many equal small pieces and roll them into balls.

  Put 4 chicken eggs in a bowl and whisk them thoroughly. Then, take a new bowl, add 2 tablespoons of chopped scallions, 2 tablespoons of cooking oil, and mix well.

  Brush a layer of cooking oil and heat the mold, then place one ball of dough in the center and press the cake thin for about 1 minute on low heat.

  After 1 minute, spread a little chicken egg, pate, scallions, shrimp, and minced meat evenly on top, then press the cake again for about 30 seconds.

  Repeat the process until the remaining dough is finished.

  Tip: If you want the cake to be drier and crispier, you should press the cake longer, and the shrimp and meat should also be cut thinner; when the cake separates from the mold, it is perfect!
