Russian-Japanese fusion food

Cut the Chinese cabbage leaves into fine strips and chop crosswise. In a bowl, combine the egg with mineral water, soda, salt, sugar, and nutmeg. Add the Chinese cabbage. Then carefully fold in the flour. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes, stir again, and check the consistency. Add more flour or water if necessary. Heat a pan over high heat and melt the butter. Stir the batter briefly and pour a ladleful of batter into the pan, swirling the pan to ensure the batter is evenly and thinly distributed. Place the pan on the stovetop and reduce the heat slightly. When the batter begins to curl upwards at the edges, peel off the flatbread all around and then turn it over. The blini is usually done after 2-3 minutes per side, depending on the stovetop and pan. Remove the blini from the pan and place them on a plate. Tip: Using two pans and a little practice saves a lot of time. Topping: Sweet or savory—just use whatever tastes good and is on hand! Okonomiyaki-style blini are a great breakfast, main course, and, when topped and rolled up, a great finger food for parties. Crêpes, pancakes, crepes—call it what you want, top it what you want, the main thing is that it tastes good!
