== Cooking directions ==
The batter
#Mix the beaten eggs, milk, and cooled melted butter. (The butter must be cooled or you'll scramble the eggs!)
#Whisk until smooth.
#Then gradually whisk in the sifted flour and baking powder until smooth.
#Add kecap manis and coriander.
#Cool in the refrigerator - preferably for an hour.
The rice
#The rice needs to be pre-cooked according to the instructions on the pack.
#In a wok, heat the olive oil and add the ginger, spring onions, and chili. Stir fry on high for 3 minutes. Then mix with the cooked rice. Leave to cool.
The filling
#Mix together the 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, the tablespoon of lime juice, the 2 cloves of crushed garlic, and the tablespoon of sesame seeds.
#Heat some oil in a wok.
#Stir fry the tofu cubes on high for 5 minutes until golden brown.
#Add the mushrooms and stir fry for 2 minutes.
#Finally add the soy sauce mixture and cook for 2 minutes.
#Keep over a low heat until ready to serve.
The pancake
#Mix the cooled rice with the batter.
#Use either the remaining 60g of butter or use a spray oil to coat a frying pan.
#Pour in 1/2 to 3/4 of a cup of batter depending on the size of your pan.
#Cook until set enough to flip over (around 2 minutes on a medium heat).
#Flip over and cook until the bottom starts to brown.
#Stack on a warm plate and continue with the rest of the batter. Stir the batter before adding it each time to ensure the rice is mixed through.
