Description

Delightful Korean pancakes made with green onions, carrots, and zucchini, offering a crispy yet tender texture with a perfect umami flavor.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 cup Water
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1 cup Green Onions (Scallions)
  • 1 medium Carrot
  • 1 medium Zucchini
  • 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the vegetables: Clean the green onions, carrots, and zucchini. Slice the green onions finely, julienne the carrot, and grate the zucchini.
  2. Mix the batter: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, water, egg, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  3. Incorporate the veggies: Fold in the green onions, carrots, and zucchini until evenly coated.
  4. Heat the skillet: On medium heat, add one tablespoon of vegetable oil to a non-stick skillet.
