Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 6 eggs; 1/4 cup coconut flour; 1 teaspoon fish sauce (or kosher salt, to taste); 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar; 1 cup diced ham (or cooked meat of choice); 10 ounces frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry; 2 scallions, sliced; 1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro; 1 cup raw mung bean sprouts; 1/2 cup bamboo shoot (canned, strips, rinsed); 1/2 teaspoon baking soda; 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper; 4 tablespoons butter (or coconut oil for frying)

Servings: persons

6 eggs
1/4 cup coconut flour
1 teaspoon fish sauce (or kosher salt, to taste)
1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1 cup diced ham (or cooked meat of choice)
10 ounces frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
2 scallions, sliced
1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro
1 cup raw mung bean sprouts
1/2 cup bamboo shoot (canned, strips, rinsed)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
4 tablespoons butter (or coconut oil for frying)

1
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, coconut flour, fish sauce, and apple cider vinegar until smooth.
2
Mix in the ham, spinach, scallions, cilantro, mung bean sprouts, bamboo shoots, baking soda, and some freshly ground black pepper.
3
Melt a tablespoon of butter in a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Use a large scoop (3-tablespoon size) to plop the batter in the pan, and flatten the pancake to 1/2-inch thick with the back of a spoon. I can comfortably fit 3 pancakes in my 12-inch skillet at a time - don't overcrowd them!
4
Fry without disturbing the patties for 2 minutes before flipping the pancakes over and cooking it on the other side for about 1-2 minutes more. The pancakes are cooked through when the centers bounce back when you press down on them with your finger.
5
Repeat until you're out of batter. I like these pancakes plain, but they're also great topped with sriracha.
