Ingredients

  • 2 cups grated turnip

  • 1 cup grated carrot

  • ½ cup thinly sliced green onion

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 egg

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix flour, pepper, egg, garlic, soy sauce and water in a bowl until smooth. 

  2. Stir in the turnip, carrot and green onion. 

  3. Heat half of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat (350 degrees F in an electric skillet). 

  4. Pour about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake into skillet. Flatten with a fork into a 3-inch circle. 

  5. Cook until the edges look dry, and bottom is golden, about 3 to 4 minutes. Turn once. Cook until the bottom is golden and crispy. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding remaining oil as needed. Pancakes will be moist in the center. Serve.
