Step-By-Step Instructions:
- Add the sesame oil to a sauce pan over medium heat. Sauté onions, garlic, and ginger until onions turn clear (about 4 minutes).
- Add the Thai chili garlic sauce and lentils. Stir to coat with oil.
- Add the broth and soy sauce. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Simmer, covered, for 20 minutes.
- Puree the lentils using an immersion blender or food processor and stir in scallions.
- While the lentils are cooking, whisk together egg, egg whites, coconut milk, Thai chili garlic sauce, and sesame oil until smooth.
- Whisk in the cornstarch until there are no lumps remaining. Stir in the soy sauce, cooked millet, and all but 1/4 cup of the scallions.
- Add the cooking spray to a non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Using a 1/4 cup measure, scoop the pancake batter onto the sauté pan and use a rubber spatula to flatten. Let cook for 3 minutes or until very golden brown. Flip the pancake and cook another 3 minutes or until very golden brown.
- Repeat procedure for remaining 7 pancakes, spraying the pan in between each pancake.
- Use pancakes to dip in lentil puree.
