Step 1
In a large bowl, whisk 1 cup flour, 3/4 cup water, and 1 egg until just combined; batter should be lumpy. Stir in 2 cups shredded cabbage and 3 sliced green onions.
Step 2
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add 4 oz diced pork and cook until browned and crispy, about 5 minutes. Remove pork, leaving drippings in pan.
Step 3
Pour batter into the hot skillet, spreading evenly. Scatter cooked pork over top. Cook until bottom is golden and set, about 4 minutes.
Step 4
Flip pancake carefully. Cook until other side is golden and cooked through, about 4 minutes more. Slide onto a plate.
Step 5
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and torn mint leaves. Cut into wedges and serve hot.
