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.
