Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. For the dipping sauce: Combine all the dipping sauce ingredients in a bowl and let it sit while you prepare the pancakes. Remove the ginger and cilantro before serving.
  2. Make the onion pancakes: Place the egg, water, sesame oil, and salt in a blender and blend well. Add the flour and blend until the mixture reaches the consistency of heavy cream. Stir in the cilantro, green onions, and sesame seeds. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; add 1 teaspoon of peanut oil and grease the skillet with it using a paper towel. Pour half of the batter into the pan, swirling and tilting it to spread it in a thin layer across the bottom. Bake until set, about 2 minutes. Flip the pancake with a spatula and bake the other side for about 1 minute. Place the onion pancake on a platter and make a second one with the remaining batter. Cut into triangles or roll them into tubes and cut into pieces. Serve the pancakes with dipping sauce.
