Recipe

Peel the outer layer of the old pumpkin thinly, slice it into thin strips, then julienne finely.
Mix the julienned pumpkin with 1/4 tablespoon of salt and let it sit for 3 minutes. Transfer to a microwave-safe dish and heat in the microwave for 2 minutes.
Place the roasted peanuts in a mortar and grind them coarsely, leaving some texture for a satisfying bite.
Add the ground peanut powder, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of potato starch, and 2 tablespoons of panko flour to the microwaved pumpkin. Mix thoroughly by hand without adding water.
Heat a frying pan and add vegetable oil. Spread the mixture evenly and thinly on the pan.
Cook over medium-low heat until the bottom turns golden brown, then flip and cook the other side until equally golden.

Julienne old pumpkin, salt it for 3 minutes, then microwave for 2 minutes.
Mix the pumpkin with ground roasted peanuts, brown sugar, starch, and panko flour—no water needed.
Spread the mixture thinly on an oiled pan and cook both sides until golden and crisp.

Cooking tips

Microwaving the pumpkin releases its natural moisture, so no additional water is needed, preventing a sticky dough and ensuring a chewy texture.
Avoid grinding peanuts too finely—keeping them slightly coarse preserves their crunch and rich flavor.
For a crisp, chewy result, make sure to spread the batter as thinly as possible; thick pancakes tend to become soggy.
