Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup water
• 1 large egg
• 1 bunch green onions (scallions), chopped
• 1 small carrot, julienned
• 1 small zucchini, julienned
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• Vegetable oil (for frying)

Instructions

1. Make the Batter: In a bowl, combine all-purpose flour, water, and the egg. Mix until smooth.
2. Add Vegetables: Fold in the chopped green onions, julienned carrots, and zucchini into the batter. Ensure vegetables are well coated.
3. Season the Mixture: Add salt and black pepper to taste, mixing it well.
4. Heat Oil: In a non-stick frying pan, heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. You may need more oil for larger batches.
5. Pour the Batter: Once the oil is hot, pour about ½ cup of the batter into the pan, spreading it evenly to create a pancake shape.
6. Cook Until Golden: Allow the pancake to cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side, or until it becomes golden brown. Flip and repeat for the other side.
7. Remove and Serve: Once cooked, take out the pancake and let it drain on paper towels if needed. Repeat until all batter is used.
