Steps

1. Peel the onion.
   🕒 00:34
2. Thinly slice 1 onion into approximately 3mm thick pieces.
   🕒 00:41
3. Place the thinly sliced onion into a bowl, separating the pieces.
   🕒 00:48
4. Add 2 tbsp of cake flour to the bowl. Gently shake the bowl to evenly coat the onion slices with flour.
   🕒 00:54
5. Once the flour is evenly distributed, add 1/4 tsp salt and pepper and 2 eggs.
   🕒 01:07
6. Whisk the eggs and mix everything together. The key here is to mix thoroughly so the egg coats everything; otherwise, the batter won't come together.
   🕒 01:13
7. Add 60g of mixed cheese to the batter and mix until evenly distributed.
   🕒 01:37
8. Heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil in a frying pan.
   🕒 01:44
9. Pour the mixed ingredients into the heated frying pan.
   🕒 01:57
10. Gently press down the mixture to flatten it and form a round shape, ensuring it doesn't fall apart.
    🕒 02:00
11. Grill for 2 to 3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and the pancake can slide easily. Use a plate as a lid to carefully flip the pancake out of the pan.
    🕒 02:16
12. If there is any remaining oil in the pan, pour it over the flipped pancake.
    🕒 02:23
13. Cover the pan with the pancake and flip it back into the pan.
    🕒 02:30
14. If the shape has become distorted, use a spatula to gently reshape it into a circle.
    🕒 02:35
15. Cover and cook slowly. The key here is to cook it covered to enhance the onion's sweetness and prevent bitterness.
    🕒 02:43
16. Once the other side is golden brown and firm, pour oil around the edges of the pan and fry until crispy, like deep-frying.
    🕒 02:53
17. Once the surface is nicely browned, it's done. Transfer to a cutting board, cut into desired pieces, and arrange on a plate.
    🕒 03:10
18. Sprinkle a little chopped scallions on top for garnish.
    🕒 03:26
19. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ponzu, mentsuyu (noodle soup base), or a ketchup-mayonnaise mix.
