Ingredients

  • Spicy Dipping Sauce
  • 1/3 cup soy OR tamari sauce
  • 1/3 cup rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon red crushed pepper
  • Pancakes
  • 3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons corn starch
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon red crushed pepper
  • 1-1/4 cups very cold water
  • 1/2 cup minced, cooked shrimp
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped scallions
  • About 1 tablespoon Mazola® Corn Oil
  • 1 egg, beaten

Instructions

  1. Step 1) Stir together Spicy Dipping Sauce ingredients in a small bowl; set aside.
  2. Step 2) Whisk flour, corn starch, salt and red pepper together. Make a well in the center and add water; whisk until batter is blended (may still have small lumps). Fold in shrimp and scallions.
  3. Step 3) Heat large, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Lightly brush skillet with very small amount of oil.
  4. Step 4) For each pancake, ladle scant 1/3 cup batter into skillet. Tilt skillet to spread batter. Drizzle with about 1 teaspoon of the beaten egg. Cook 2 to 3 minutes or until edges appear set; turn pancake and press with spatula. This will help to crisp and brown the bottom. Cook an additional 2 to 3 minutes until lightly browned. Repeat with remaining pancakes.
  5. Step 5) Serve with a drizzle of Spicy Dipping Sauce.
