Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the acorn jelly batter. Have about 380g of acorn jelly ready.
Step 2
Place the acorn jelly in a bowl and crack in 1 egg.
Step 3
Add 3 tablespoons of water. This will help adjust the consistency of the batter.
Step 4
Add 5 heaping tablespoons of pancake mix. This will contribute to a crispy texture.
Step 5
Add a pinch of black pepper and mash the acorn jelly until smooth using a fork or a mashing tool. It’s important to mash it thoroughly without any lumps.
Step 6
Now, let’s prepare the delicious toppings. Take 4 Korean perilla leaves and slice them thinly.
Step 7
Remove the stems from 2 shiitake mushrooms and slice them thinly.
Step 8
Peel and devein 60g of shrimp. Make sure they are clean.
Step 9
Finely mince 2 tablespoons of onion. This will add sweetness and flavor.
Step 10
Finely mince 2 tablespoons of carrot to add a vibrant color.
Step 11
Finely chop 2 tablespoons of green onion. This will add a fragrant aroma.
Step 12
In a separate bowl, whisk 1 egg,
Step 13
and season it with 1/3 teaspoon of salt.
Step 14
Add all the prepared topping ingredients (perilla leaves, shiitake mushrooms, shrimp, onion, carrot, green onion) to the whisked egg, sprinkle a pinch of pepper, and mix everything evenly. This helps the toppings adhere well and makes the pancake look beautiful.
Step 15
Heat a pan over medium heat and add a generous amount of cooking oil. Ladle in the mashed acorn jelly batter and spread it thinly into a round shape. Making it uniformly round will look even better.
Step 16
Generously arrange the prepared toppings over the batter. Cook over medium-low heat until both sides are golden brown and crispy. As the acorn jelly cooks, its chewy texture will develop, and the toppings will become wonderfully fragrant.
Step 17
The finished Acorn Jelly Vegetable Pancake boasts an attractive texture – crispy on the outside, yet soft and chewy on the inside. The combination of the mild acorn jelly, vegetables, and shrimp is simply fantastic!
