Makes 16 small or 4 large pancakes.

Ingredients

200g button mushrooms, finely sliced
100g shiitake mushrooms, finely sliced
100g enoki mushrooms, trimmed, separated
2 cups finely shredded Chinese cabbage
200g green prawn meat, finely chopped
1½ cups SR flour
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup milk
½ cup cold water
Pinch salt
¼ tsp white pepper
¼ cup olive oil
¼ cup Japanese mayonnaise*
2 tbs salt reduced soy sauce
¼ cup finely sliced green onions (shallots)

Method

Place mushrooms, cabbage and prawn meat in large bowl.
Sift flour over mushroom and cabbage mixture and toss gently to coat evenly with flour. Add eggs, milk and water, stir gently to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
Heat barbecue plate to medium-high and drizzle with 2 tbs oil. Scoop ¼ cup measures of mushroom mixture onto the barbecue plate to form eight small pancakes. Barbecue for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with remaining mixture.
To serve, top each pancake with a 1 tsp mayonnaise, drizzle with soy sauce and garnish with green onions.

*Japanese mayonnaise is available from the Asian grocery section of supermarkets or Asian grocery stores.
