Cooking tips
- Soaking dried shrimp in mirin and water beforehand results in a softer texture and deeper umami flavor.
- Using only starch flour instead of all-purpose flour or tempura flour ensures the pancake stays crisp without becoming greasy when combined with zucchini’s moisture.
- Removing the seeds from the chilies before slicing prevents the pancake from becoming messy and enhances its clean, spicy flavor.
- The key to this recipe is relying solely on the moisture drawn from zucchini after salting—no additional water should be added.
