Main Ingredients- 2 medium carrots
- 2 Tbsp potato starch or cornstarch
Seasoning- Pinch of salt (adjust to taste)
- Pinch of salt (adjust to taste)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash and peel the 2 medium carrots. Then, finely julienne the carrots as thinly as possible. The thinner the julienne, the crispier the pancake will be. Place the julienned carrots in a bowl.
Step 2
Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of potato starch evenly over the julienned carrots. Add a pinch of salt. Gently mix with your hands to ensure the starch and salt coat the carrots thoroughly. You don’t need to add extra water; the moisture from the carrots will naturally help the batter bind together. Taste and add a tiny bit more salt if needed.
Step 3
Generously coat a frying pan with cooking oil. Heat the pan over medium heat. Once the oil is sufficiently hot, spread the carrot mixture thinly in the pan to start frying. It’s important to spread it thinly so the inside cooks through properly.
Step 4
Control the heat well and fry until the edges of the carrot pancake turn golden brown and crispy. Frying over medium-low heat allows it to cook evenly without burning, ensuring a crispy exterior. When the edges start to crisp up, it’s time to flip.
Step 5
Once one side is well-cooked and crispy, carefully flip the pancake and fry the other side until it’s also golden and crispy. After frying, before plating, gently press down with a spatula to drain excess oil. This will result in a cleaner and more delicious pancake. Serve immediately while warm for the best taste!
