Instructions
- Make the dipping sauce:
Mix all sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set aside. - Prepare the batter:
In a large bowl, combine vegetables, flour, salt, and water. Mix until evenly coated. - Heat the pan:
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add oil. - Cook the pancake:
Spread the batter evenly in the pan and cook for 4–5 minutes until golden. - Flip and cook again:
Turn the pancake, add a little more oil, and cook for another 3–4 minutes. - Finish cooking:
Flip once more and cook for 1–2 minutes for extra crispiness. - Serve:
Transfer to a plate and serve immediately with dipping sauce.
Notes
- Make it gluten-free: Use rice flour or a gluten-free flour blend instead of all-purpose flour.
- Add protein: You can include tofu or chickpea flour for a protein boost.
- Use different vegetables: Carrots, cabbage, or bell peppers work beautifully.
- Don’t skip the oil: It’s key for achieving a crispy texture.
- Serve immediately: The pancake is best enjoyed fresh off the pan.
