Meat eaters can try including cooked chicken, cooked prawns or extra herbs when adding vegetables. What really tops off this classic Korean dish is the spicy dipping sauce. So addictive!

Ingredients

• 1⁄4 cup cornflour

• 1 tsp fine salt

• 1 tsp caster sugar

• 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda

200ml water, chilled

• 1 egg, lightly beaten

1⁄2 clove garlic, crushed

• 1 carrot, cut into matchsticks or coarsely grated

• 1 zucchini, cut into matchsticks or coarsely grated

• 150g sweet potato, peeled, cut into matchsticks or coarsely grated

10 garlic chives, cut into 2cm-long pieces, or 6 green shallots, cut into 2cm-long pieces

4 Tbsp vegetable oil

Dipping sauce

1⁄4 cup soy sauce

• 1 green shallot, very finely sliced

1⁄2 long red chilli, very finely sliced

1⁄2 clove garlic, crushed

Method

To make dipping sauce, combine ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside.

Put flour, cornflour, salt, sugar and bicarbonate of soda in a large bowl. In a large jug, whisk water, egg and garlic. Make a well in centre of flour mixture and add water mixture, whisking until a smooth batter forms.

Stir vegetables into batter.

Heat 1⁄2 of the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add 1⁄2 of the batter, spreading to cover pan, and cook for 3 minutes or until golden and crisp on the bottom.

Flip and cook for a further 2 minutes or until golden and crisp.

Transfer to a plate. Repeat Steps 4 and 5 with remaining oil and batter. Cut pancakes into squares. Serve with dipping sauce.
