Kanom Krok on the pot, with sweet corn & spring onion filling

🥥 Thai Coconut Pancake (Kanom Krok) 泰式椰汁球

bonnie.yveskitchen
My favorite Thai street food is pancakes cooked with coconut.They look a bit like Japanese takoyaki or Hong Kong-style bubble waffles.Crispy on the outside, soft and slightly gooey on the inside — often filled with corn, spring onion, or sweet potato.
When I was a child, I only liked corn. But when I grew up, I realized spring onion is also surprisingly good!
This classic Thai snack is simple to make at home — and perfect for sharing warm, right off the pan. 🌿
我最喜歡的泰國街頭小食,就是這款椰汁球 Kanom Krok。外型有點像日式章魚燒或港式雞蛋仔,外脆內軟,咬下去還會有微微的椰香流心。餡料通常有粟米、青蔥、紫薯等,鹹甜皆宜。
小時候我只愛吃粟米口味,長大後才發現原來青蔥也好好食!
**這款傳統泰式小食其實在家也能輕鬆完成,熱辣辣煎起來最適合即刻分享!**🌿

Notes

🌿 Yves Tips!

  • A little pinch of salt goes a long way — it brings out the sweetness in Thai desserts.
  • Mix and match your favorite fillings: pumpkin, purple sweet potato, taro… anything you love!
  • No Kanom Krok pan? No problem! Try using a takoyaki or egg waffle pan.
  • Want to play with colors? Add a touch of butterfly pea powder or purple yam powder to the batter — natural and beautiful!
  • 泰國甜品裡經常加一小撮鹽,味道更香更有層次。
  • 餡料可以隨自己喜好來玩,例如南瓜、紫薯、芋頭都好好食~
  • 沒有 Kanom Krok 模具?用章魚燒或雞蛋仔模都一樣得!
  • 想做出不一樣的顏色?可以在椰奶漿裡加點蝶豆花粉或紫薯粉,自然又靚。
