This Man's Cook Perilla Chive Zucchini Pancake

Enhances the deep umami of dried shrimp and minimizes wheat flour batter to create thin, crispy zucchini pancakes with perilla chives

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Pre-salting the zucchini helps remove excess moisture, resulting in a firmer texture and allows the dried shrimp to absorb moisture, making them softer.
  • Avoid over-mixing the batter, as vigorous stirring can bring out the raw smell from perilla chives—instead, gently toss as if brushing off dust.
  • Use plenty of oil and cook over medium-low heat to prevent burning while ensuring the inside becomes crisp throughout.

Recommended for

  • Those who want pancakes with no thick flour coating and where the natural texture of the ingredients shines through.
  • People looking to add deep umami to ordinary vegetable pancakes using dried shrimp.
  • Anyone wanting to successfully make a perfect crispy-on-the-outside, tender-on-the-inside pancake on a rainy day.
