5. Add the asparagus, toss for 1-or-2 minutes over moderate heat, then allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
6. In a separate bowl, combine the remaining ingredients, except the vegetable oil, to make a dipping sauce.
7. When the pork mixture is cool, stir it into the reserved batter.
8. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over moderately high heat until ripples show on the skillet bottom.
9. Half fill a 1/4-cup measuring cup with the batter and drop the batter into the hot oil, evening up the ragged edges of the pancake.
10. Add 3 more pancakes to the skillet, smoothing the edges as before, and brown them for 1-to-1 1/2 minutes per side.
11. Drain them on paper towels, then keep them warm on an uncovered platter in a 250F oven.
12. Fry the rest of the pancakes, adding more vegetable oil to the skillet if needed.
13. Serve the pancakes hot with the dipping sauce.
