Description
Delightful crispy vegetable pancakes made with fresh seasonal produce, served with a tangy Asian dipping sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup grated zucchini
- 1 cup grated carrots
- 1 cup shredded cabbage
- 1/2 cup green onions, chopped
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cornmeal
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Oil for frying
- Soy sauce (for dipping)
- Rice vinegar (for dipping)
- Sesame oil (for dipping)
- Chili flakes (optional, for dipping)
Instructions
- Grate Fresh Vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, grated carrots, shredded cabbage, and chopped green onions.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Add the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, beaten eggs, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix until all the ingredients are well combined, and the mixture holds together.
- Heat Up the Skillet: Heat a generous amount of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Ensure the oil is hot enough; a quick splash of water should sizzle when it makes contact!
- Form the Pancakes: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the vegetable mixture and gently flatten them in the skillet.
- Fry Until Golden: Fry the pancakes until they are golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning!
- Drain the Excess Oil: Once crispy, remove the pancakes from the skillet and drain them on paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
- Whisk Together the Dipping Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and chili flakes (if using) to create your dipping sauce.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the pancakes hot, alongside your flavorful dipping sauce.
