Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Crispy Vegetable Pancakes
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded carrots, squeezed shredded zucchini, optional shredded potato, finely chopped cabbage, and chopped green onions. Mix thoroughly.
  2. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together large eggs, all-purpose flour, cornstarch, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  3. Carefully pour the egg mixture into the bowl of vegetables and fold everything together.
  4. Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add enough vegetable oil to coat the bottom. Heat for 2-3 minutes until shimmering.
  5. Scoop spoonfuls of the mixture into the skillet, flattening into pancake shapes. Fry for 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Flip the pancakes using a spatula and fry for another 3-4 minutes until equally golden and crisp.
  7. Serve the warm pancakes alongside a zesty Asian dipping sauce.
