Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon hot pepper flakes
  • Ener-G egg replacer equivalent of 2 eggs*
  • 1 small zucchini cut to matchsticks
  • 1/4 onion diced
  • 2 green onions diced
  • 1/2 cup raw shrimp chopped (frozen is ok too!)
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • Sriracha optional, if you like it spicy!

Instructions
 

  • Whisk flour, water, salt, and hot pepper flakes together. Whisk in egg equivalent (follow Ener-G package instructions on ratio of water to mix with the Ener-G powder).
  • Add chopped vegetables and shrimp, mix to combine.
  • Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to a non-stick pan. When oil is hot (about 30 seconds on medium high heat), add the batter, careful to spread it evenly on the pan.
  • On medium heat, cap the pot and let cook for 10-15 minutes until the pancake is golden brown on the bottom and solidified on top. If you want it to go faster, use medium high heat, but beware the pancake will darken more on this heat setting. If you used Egg it will cook in closer to 5 minutes.
  • Flip pancake over and fry the other side till golden brown. Do not cap the pan, this ensures the pancake will turn out crispy. On medium or medium-high heat cook another 10-15 minutes, or about 5 minutes if you used an egg.
  • Drizzle with Sriracha and garnish with chopped green onion. Serve hot!

Notes

*You can purchase EnerG at your local health foods store, like Whole Foods. If you eat egg, you can also use egg! However the cooking time will be different for egg (shorter cooking times). With egg the pancake will come out thicker, but not quite as crispy ~ but still very tasty!
