Scrap Vegetable Pancake Using Leftover Vegetables

Main Ingredients- 1/2 Zucchini
- 1/2 Onion
- A moderate amount of Carrot (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 bunch of Perilla leaves (about 10 leaves)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the vegetables that will define the pancake’s flavor. Thinly julienne the zucchini. Slice the onion into thin strips or mince it. Julienne the carrot for a splash of color, and for an aromatic touch, wash the perilla leaves, roll them up, and slice them thinly. Place all the prepared vegetables in a bowl.
Step 2
Next, it’s time to make the pancake batter. Add 5 tablespoons of pancake mix to the bowl with the vegetables. Crack in 1 egg. Finally, pour in 2 small soju cups (approximately 200ml) of cold water. The amount of water can be adjusted depending on the moisture content of the vegetables and the type of pancake mix used; gradually add more if needed to achieve your desired batter consistency.
Step 3
Gently mix the batter ingredients and vegetables together until well combined. Use a spatula or chopsticks to carefully combine them, as if tossing, without crushing the vegetables. Be mindful not to mix too vigorously, as this can release too much moisture from the vegetables and make the batter too watery.
Step 4
Now, it’s time to cook the delicious pancake. Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add a generous amount of cooking oil. Ladle portions of the batter onto the preheated pan and spread them out thinly. Shaping them into round, flat discs will help them cook evenly.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to low and cook, flipping occasionally, until golden brown on both sides. Once one side is cooked and the edges start to crisp up, carefully flip the pancake and cook the other side in the same way. When both sides have a tempting golden-brown hue, it’s ready! Enjoy it while it’s hot!
