Zucchini Scallion Cake

Zucchini Scallion Cake is a delightful vegetarian Chinese pizza that features a crispy exterior and a savory, soft filling made from fresh zucchini and scallions. This dish is not only delicious but also a fantastic way to enjoy healthy vegetables in a unique format.

Ingredients

• Zucchini - 200 grams, grated
• Scallions - 50 grams, finely chopped
• All-purpose flour - 150 grams
• Water - 100 ml
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Vegetable oil - for frying

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, chopped scallions, all-purpose flour, water, salt, black pepper, and sesame oil. Mix until a thick batter forms.
2. Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add a tablespoon of vegetable oil.
3. Pour half of the batter into the pan, spreading it evenly to form a round cake about 1 cm thick.
4. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the bottom is golden brown, then carefully flip the cake using a spatula and cook the other side for another 5-7 minutes.
5. Repeat the process with the remaining batter to make a second cake.
6. Once both cakes are cooked, remove them from the pan and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
7. Cut into wedges and serve hot, optionally with soy sauce or chili sauce for dipping.
