Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (such as zucchini, carrots, and bell peppers), finely chopped
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • Soy sauce for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, water, and salt to create a smooth batter. Stir until there are no lumps.
  2. Step 2: Add the finely chopped mixed vegetables and green onions to the batter, mixing well to ensure they are evenly coated.
  3. Step 3: Incorporate the beaten egg into the mixture, combining thoroughly to add richness and binding to the batter.
  4. Step 4: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add enough vegetable oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Once hot, pour in a ladleful of the vegetable batter and spread it into a round shape.
  5. Step 5: Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil as necessary. Serve warm with soy sauce for dipping if desired.

Notes

  • For optimal freshness, store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, and they will retain their flavor and texture.
  • To reheat your pancakes, simply warm them in a non-stick skillet over medium heat for a few minutes on each side until they are crispy again, avoiding the microwave which can make them soggy.
  • These colorful pancakes are delightful served with a side of soy sauce for dipping or topped with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and sliced green onions for added flavor and presentation.
  • For the best results, ensure your skillet is fully heated before adding the batter; this will help achieve that perfect crispy exterior while keeping the inside tender and flavorful.
