Pancakes made with a combination of flours and milk are packed with a juicy and flavourful filling of spring onions, and deep-fried till crisp, to make an exciting oriental starter. Remember to add a pinch of sugar while mixing the filling as it helps to boost the flavour of the onions.

These Spring Onion Parcels, despite being made with minimal ingredients, have a classic Chinese flavour and really irresistible texture. Serve with a choice of sauces, to enhance its appeal.
