Vegan Crispy 'Duck' Pancakes

Celebrate Chinese New Year the proper way

This dish is part of the celebration of Spring Festival or Chinese New Year. Making them is a way to welcome the new year and pray for good yields from spring crops.

The pancakes are usually served with stir-fried vegetables – no dipping sauce or meat required. The vegetables can include carrots, bean sprouts, wood ear mushrooms, cucumbers, dried bamboo shoots, etc. and also stir-fried eggs. All the veggies are cut into thin long strips, seasoned with garlic, green onion, soy sauce, and sesame oil, and cooked in a wok until tender.
