Step-by-Step Instructions for Korean Pancakes
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of water, 1 large egg, and a pinch of salt and black pepper. Whisk until smooth and free of lumps.
  2. Gently fold in 1/2 cup of chopped green onions, 1/2 cup of julienned carrots, and 1/2 cup of julienned zucchini into the batter.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a generous amount of vegetable oil, about 2-3 tablespoons.
  4. Pour about 1/2 cup of the batter into the skillet once the oil is shimmering. Cook for 3-5 minutes or until the bottom turns golden brown.
  5. Carefully flip the pancake using a spatula and cook the other side for another 3-5 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Remove the cooked pancake from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  7. Once all the pancakes are cooked, transfer them to a serving plate and enjoy them hot.
