Zucchini Pancakes Chinese Style

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp. vegetable oil for frying the pancakes
• 1/2 pound fresh shredded zucchini
• 1 egg
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/3 tsp. salt
• 1/3 tsp. black peppercorn
• 1 tbsp. sesame oil
• 1 tbsp. Chinese chili oil or other brand you may have
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 tbsp. sesame oil
• 1 tbsp. chopped scallion
• 1 tsp. oyster sauce
• 1 tsp. black vinegar
• 1 tbsp. light soy sauce
• 1 tbsp. water

Instructions

1. 1

   Wash the zucchini and shred with a tool. Make sure that they are similar in size. Then sprinkle some salt and set aside. Then squeeze the water out.

2. 2

   Add all-purpose flour, egg, oyster sauce, salt and pepper in. Mix in one direction until there is no dry flour left any more. Set aside for around 15 minutes.

3. 3

   Add vegetable oil in and spread the batter. Try to make it as round as possbile. I prefer to pan-fry the pancake one time. But you can choose to fry it as smaller ones by 2 or 3 batches.

4. 4

   Once one side of the pancake is well browned, flip over and fry the other side.

5. 5

   Mix all the ingredients for dipping sauce together in a small bowl.

6. 6

   Transfer out and serve directly or with the dipping sauce.
