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
- 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.
- Add Vegetables: Add all the vegetables and wet ingredients to the bowl and combine until well coated.
- 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.
- 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.
- Repeat and Serve: Repeat until all the batter is used up. Slice and enjoy immediately with dipping sauce.
