Instructions:

Step 1:

Prepare all of the vegetables and place them in a big bowl.

Step 2:

Add 3/4 cup of flour, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 3/4 cup of water. Mix until well combined.

Step 3:

Place a skillet over medium-high heat and put 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Once the oil is hot, put the vegetable mixture and spread it evenly until you make a thin layer.

Step 4:

Turn the heat to medium, then add the sliced mushrooms on top. Fry it for 1 minute, then move it around by shaking the pan. Continue cooking until brown and crispy on the bottom.

Step 5:

While waiting for it to get crispy, make the sauce. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 2 teaspoons of vinegar, pepper flakes (optional), and sesame seeds. Set it aside.

Step 6:

Use your spatula to flip the pancake. Turn up the heat and add 1 tablespoon of oil. Lift one edge of the pancake and tilt the pan, so the oil will go to the center. Cook for 3 minutes or until crispy and brown. Make sure to keep an eye on it as it might get burned.

Step 7:

Once done, turn off the heat, and serve on a plate with the sauce. Enjoy!
