Scale

Dry Ingredients:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (130g)
  • 2 tablespoons corn starch or potato starch
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1 cup cold water
  • Avocado oil or any neutral oil for cooking
  • 1 cup grated and squeezed zucchini (120g)
  • 1 cup grated and squeezed carrots (95g)
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced green onion (15g)
  • 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons maple syrup
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds
  • 1 teaspoon chopped green onion

Instructions

  1. Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, add all the dry ingredients. Stir to combine. Pour in the cold water and whisk until combined. Be careful not to overmix. The batter will be thick.
  2. Add Vegetables: Add all the vegetables and wet ingredients to the bowl and combine until well coated.
  3. Cook Batter: Preheat a medium cast iron or non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add enough oil to coat the surface of the pan. Scoop batter, adjust amount depending on the size of your pan. It should sizzle when added.
  4. Cook Pancakes: Working quickly, spread the batter out as thinly as possible. Cook for 4-5 minutes over medium heat. Once crispy and golden brown underneath, flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes. Add more oil to the edge of the pan if needed.
  5. Repeat and Serve: Repeat until all the batter is used up. Slice and enjoy immediately with dipping sauce.

Notes

  • You can customize the vegetables in these pancakes based on your preferences.
  • Ensure the vegetables are well squeezed to avoid excess moisture in the batter.
  • Feel free to adjust seasoning and sauces to suit your taste.
