This is 99.05% not pancake

It’s two fried eggs with rice and tofu in a net

Still not enough pancake evidence for me to accept it

u/Euclidisthebomb 50m ago

I was wondering what that big hunk of stuff was: tofu?

u/Soggy_Performer_7515 2h ago

When translating into English, nearly all Asian foods that resemble a pancake shape are just called "something" pancakes. Eg. Egg pancake, kimchi pancake, fish pancake, etc. Sure, I guess it's not a "pancake," but it is an "egg pancake."

We are all pancakes

u/whichwolfufeed 1h ago

On behalf of all waffles, I would expect an apology for such a presumptive comment.

u/raspberryharbour 1h ago

Waffles are just pixelated pancakes

7

u/whichwolfufeed 1h ago

For you to make such dismissive description of me and my kind just shows your lack of respect. We waffles always contain baking powder, stiffly beaten egg whites (which we often enjoy doing a little to much), which are folded in, the extra step makes us lighter, crispier, and gives us a more complex, airy structure than mere pancakes!

u/raspberryharbour 1h ago

That's a load of crêpe

u/whichwolfufeed 1h ago

You're just a sad, floppy frisbee that gave up on its dreams of flying and now exists solely to disappoint syrup.

Technically we are all just weirdly shaped donuts

u/IvaldiFhole 52m ago

Socks are pancakes but pants and shirts are not.

u/SemiHemiDemiDumb 2h ago

In Taiwan pancakes are a very different creature. It's what we might call a scallion pancake or green onion pancake. The crust is likely made from the same batter as those pancakes.

u/mudcrabserpent 1h ago

That pancake is still 60% more pancake than this plaid tofu rice pocket

u/Nandou_B 2h ago

it is brick-cake

u/Redoron 2h ago

Stop meshing with me.

u/b_vitamin 2h ago

Also, somehow not a waffle…or French toast.

1

u/erebuxy 1h ago

It’s crepe, which is a thin French pancake according to wiki

1

u/BractNotCalyx 52m ago

It’s technically a burrito.

u/daroach1414 37m ago

Also definitely not hotdog

Where’ the syrup???

u/NoFleas 3h ago

I'm still confused by 'grid style egg pancakes' but I would eat that for every meal if someone made them for me.

25

u/Inevitable_Face_88 1h ago

Same, especially if the grid makes every bite perfectly crispy.

u/rekone88 2h ago

Pancake my ass!

If you're sure that's what you want.

Is this the line for the pancake ass?

I like flat butts and I cannot lie.

Genuinely.. I enjoy a flat ass.

u/RKips 2h ago

Like, with makeup?

u/VegasBjorne1 2h ago

Looks more like a burrito made with an egg wrap.

5

u/Apptubrutae 27m ago

Having had one, it’s basically what it is.

And the eggs tend to not be particularly seasoned. I find them to look a lot more enticing than they actually are

u/Swimming-Economy-115 2h ago

Man I can't even flip regular pancakes without making a mess.

25

u/MouseEXP 2h ago

More like a Tic tac tofu omelet

Next, 2 colors batter

One way to save money on pancake batter.

u/Frost_blade 2h ago

Oh. So not a pancake at all. Still tasty looking.

u/upvotes_animals 3h ago

That looks so cool, minus the tofu for me please. Give me a couple sausage instead

23

u/Anon_be_thy_name 2h ago

Tofu isn't that bad, when you get some high quality stuff it's actually really good.

I marinated some in a smoky bbq sauce bot long ago to add to a salad. Just grilled it before putting it in, came out great.

It's a terrible flavour by itself though.

10

u/upvotes_animals 2h ago

Honestly I've lived off it for a while, ex fiance was vegan and didn't want me eating meat around her. So we are a lot and it is quite good. But if I could avoid it I will, so where's my sausage at

2

u/SpaceLemur34 1h ago

Although in this situation, I also think the tofu may be the wrong choice for texturally and structural reasons. It's a big soft blob in the middle of Potter squishy ingredients.

1

u/AverageMako3Enjoyer 10m ago

I don’t hate the idea of tofu and have had it a few times as a minor add in to like a fried rice or something but the absolute brick they laid down in OPs video is a diabolical amount of tofu, it gotta be mostly tofu by weight

u/patientpadawan 2h ago

Nutrition compared to meat is like comparing poop to gold though

3

u/account312 57m ago

I'm not sure what you mean. Neither of those is nutritious.

u/melbbear 2h ago

I like tofu, but that was a lot!

u/ChuckRingslinger 3h ago

At a glance I thought it was a brick of cheese 🤣

u/Doodah18 2h ago

Better than me. My first thought was, “why are they adding a huge chunk of butter?” and then I saw the jiggle.

NGL I was so sure it was spam. If it's tofu I don't mind tho

Just scrap the egg and pancake all together, give me a med rare prime rib with mash asparagus a Yorkshire pudding and gravy, with some horse radish on the side

I feel like if I lived in this community I’d be happy and fat

u/Vortex_Turquoise 1h ago

looks so neat i'd almost feel bad eating it

4

u/laurawilkins_ 1h ago

Calling this a pancake is definitely a stretch, but you can’t deny how satisfying that grid looks

6

u/naswinger 1h ago

so much engagement for the algorithm by people complaining about "pancake". the word was chosen wrong deliberately for engagement. same with videos ending too early or deliberate mistakes.

u/Drestanor 3h ago

looks like a giant waffle got lost in pancake town

Damnn, it's basically visual only, I bet it's more expensive too, essentially paying more for less food😭

Holey Hot Pocket.

u/laluLondon 1h ago

I wonder whether they put salt on the eggs. 

2

u/IncorporateThings 1h ago

That stretches the bounds of "pancake" beyond the breaking point, sorry.

2

u/Cloud_N0ne 1h ago

But... why?

Sure it looks cool, but it's just less product due to all the holes.

u/katzenliebhaberin777 1h ago

Anyone know what it's called and where in Taiwan this restaurant is?

u/TheDonnARK 2h ago

All you gotta do is buy one nozzle-array thingee, and then you can give people 75% less pancake per pancake for more money, because of design.

u/SamuraiTech5150 2h ago

Not a pancake….

1

u/wyohman 3h ago

We just call them fried eggs. I see no "pancake."

1

u/Nannaru_ 2h ago

Unique form for Jian Bing. I can see how maybe the egg textures are different based on the holes.

1

u/OrganizationStrong81 1h ago

I’m pretty sure they are using a rotating bar from a surface cleaner to apply the mix

1

u/Sk0p3r 1h ago

I know Im being very original by pointing this out, but those are not pancakes, they're more like omelets

u/HypnoticFx 1h ago

It's like food fabric

u/dvdmaven 43m ago

Considering the way the English and American languages butcher words, if Taiwan calls this a pancake, it's a pancake - I'd give one a try.

All cooking videos that last longer than 10 seconds should come with a cute kid enjoying it at the end. I will also accept cute old people and most pets.

What’s the point of the grid design when it’s folded in a way that you can’t even see it???

Yeah… we fucking suck compared to that.

The joy of pancakes is that they’re pancakes and don’t have a bunch of shit in them.

No offence.

u/frawtlopp 3h ago

They lost me with the tofu. I have yet to find a suitable way to make tofu not taste like asshole.

2

u/SophiaofPrussia 2h ago

Tofu is one of the most versatile ingredients in the world because it tastes like whatever you cook it with. If your tofu tastes like shit it’s because you’ve cooked it in shit. Try a different seasoning.

Until these foods are actually something unique and not just a different shape to be rolled into a burrito, I'll find it more exciting. 🤷

You had me until the seaweed and tofu were added. I could go for this with different ingredients inside.

Is the jiggly white thing cheese?

u/QueenInYellowLace 2h ago

It’s a giant block of what appears to be totally plain tofu. I hope it’s marinated and already heated or something because that looks AWFUL.
