Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
1 cup grated carrots
1 cup shredded cabbage
1/2 cup green onions
Dry Ingredients
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Salt and pepper to taste
Other
1 large egg
Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
Prepare the Vegetables: Start by grating your carrots and shredding the cabbage. Chop the green onions finely and set aside. This creates a colorful base for your pancakes.
Make the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated carrots, shredded cabbage, green onions, flour, and egg. Season with salt and pepper. Mix until everything is well incorporated.
Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat about two tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. You want the oil hot enough to sizzle when you add the batter.
Cook the Pancakes: Using a ladle, pour the batter into the skillet to form small pancakes. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy.
Drain and Serve: Once cooked, transfer the pancakes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm with the Asian dipping sauce.
Notes
Don’t overcrowd the pan: Cook in batches to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
Adjust the heat: If the pancakes are browning too quickly, lower the heat to cook through without burning.
Use fresh vegetables: Fresh ingredients enhance flavor and texture, so choose the best quality veggies.
Experiment with dipping sauces: Try different sauces like soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, or a homemade sesame dipping sauce.
Let the batter rest: Allowing the batter to sit for about 10 minutes can improve the texture of the pancakes.
