Chop the Thai chives and cut the Chinese cabbage and shrimp into small pieces.
Stir the chives and shrimp into the flour+baking powder+stock mixture. Stir in the Chinese cabbage. Add the eggs to the mixture and stir.
Oil a frying pan with a paper towel. Place several slices of bacon side by side. Add about 1½ ladles of batter (depending on the pan).
Cook the batter for 3 minutes over low heat, then flip and cook for another 3 minutes. Then flip again and cook for 3 minutes over medium heat to crisp the bacon a little more.
