Servings 2

Ingredients

Pancake Ingredients:

  • 350g zucchini
  • 4 eggs
  • 100g self-raising flour
  • 30g green onions
  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • vegetable oil for frying

Garlic and Vinegar Sauce:

  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1g salt
  • ¼ teaspoon sesame oil
  • ¾ teaspoon sesame oil, extra
  • 1 tablespoon Zhenjiang vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • ½ teaspoon sugar

Instructions

  • Place the chopped zucchini into a large bowl and add the green onions, salt, white pepper and sesame oil.
  • Stir with chopsticks so that the zucchini sticks will be well covered and tasty. The salt will make some water ooze out of the zucchini.
  • Add the eggs and stir well.
  • Add the self-raising flour.
  • Use the chopsticks to mix up the zucchini mixture. Try not to mix too hard or overmix otherwise the mixture will be too tough.
  • Mince the garlic and place it in a small bowl. Add the salt and ¼ teaspoon of the sesame oil. Take another small bowl and place the Zhenjiang vinegar, soy sauce, the other ¾ teaspoon of sesame oil and the sugar into it. Stir well and pour into the other bowl and combine.
  • Pour in enough vegetable oil so that it just covers the entire bottom of the pan. Warm up the pan for 1 1/2 minutes and then lower the heat slightly. Use a spoon to pour the batter into the pan and use the bottom of the spoon to spread the batter evenly around. At this point, you need to pay attention to the color of the pancake.
  • When the surface of the pancake is no longer runny, you can flip it over. After about a minute, flip it over again and cook until golden.
