This is a super easy side dish (banchan) that I like slapping together when I'm lazily putting together dinner. I typically serve this as a side dish next to rice and kimchi and whatever else we have on hand but it also makes a great appetizer. —Rach Kim

Ingredients
- Zucchini Pancakes
-
1
medium zucchini
-
1/2
sweet onion
-
1
egg
-
1/2 teaspoon
salt
-
1/2 cup
flour
-
2 tablespoons
oil (neutral oil like canola)
- Dipping Sauce
-
1
scallion, chopped

2
Thai chilis, sliced

-
1/4 teaspoon
Korean hot pepper flakes (gochugaru)
-
1 tablespoon
soy sauce
-
1/2 teaspoon
rice wine vinegar
-
1/4 teaspoon
sesame oil
Directions
-
Grate the zucchini and onion into a bowl.
-
Add the egg, salt, and flour to the grated zucchini and onion and mix together with a fork until the batter just comes together.
-
Heat a large skillet (I like to use a 10" frying pan) over medium heat. Add in 1 tablespoon of oil.
-
When the pan is hot, spoon in half of the batter and use a spoon to spread it out. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until golden and then flip. Cook another 2 to 3 minutes on the second side until golden.
-
Add more oil to the pan (another 1 tablespoon) and form the remaining batter into a second pancake and repeat step 4.
-
To make the dipping sauce, mix all of the ingredients together.
-
Stack the two pancakes and cut into wedges (using a knife or a pizza cutter). Serve alongside the dipping sauce.
