Our clam pancake, sizzling with the aroma of savory oil, pairs wonderfully with the sweetness of zucchini. The delightful combination of salty clams and sweet zucchini, enhanced by the perfect blend of tempura and pancake flour for ultimate crispiness, makes for a visually and gastronomically satisfying treat. Let’s make these delightful clam pancakes right away!
Ingredients- Cooked clams (shelled) 3 cups
- Pancake mix 2 cups
- Tempura mix 1 cup
- 1 zucchini
- 1/3 carrot
- 0.5 Tbsp sugar
- Pinch of salt (to taste)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, thoroughly cook the clams, remove all the shells, and then prepare them. Rinsing them under cold water and draining will help.
Step 2
Trim the ends of the zucchini, slice it thinly into half-moons, and then julienne it. Peel and julienne the carrot as well. It’s best to mix the julienned vegetables together.
Step 3
For pancakes that are both crispy and chewy, try using a 2:1 ratio of pancake mix to tempura mix. This golden ratio will elevate the taste and texture of your clam pancakes.
Step 4
Add the prepared clams and julienned zucchini and carrot to the flour mixture and mix well. Ensure the clams and vegetables are evenly coated with the batter. At this stage, adding 0.5 Tbsp of sugar and a pinch of salt will enhance the flavor.
Step 5
Heat a pan generously with oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, spoon portions of the batter onto the pan to form pancakes. Frying them ensures extra crispiness and deliciousness.
Step 6
Once the surface of the pancakes turns golden brown, flip them over and cook the other side until evenly golden. Flipping them back and forth until both sides are golden and crispy will result in perfectly delicious clam pancakes.
