  1. 3

    Cooking the Pancake

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Once hot, pour half of the batter into the skillet, spreading it evenly. Scatter half of the shrimp, squid, scallions, carrot, and bell pepper over the batter.

    Flipping the Pancake

    Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the edges start to brown and the bottom is crispy. Carefully flip the pancake using a spatula and add another tablespoon of oil if necessary. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side until golden brown.

    Repeat for Second Pancake

    Remove the pancake from the skillet and keep warm. Repeat the process with the remaining batter and seafood/vegetables.
