Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the vegetables by shredding cabbage, grating carrot, and chopping onion. Sprinkle with fine-gran salt and let sit for about 10 minutes.
  2. Whisk the eggs in a mixing bowl until frothy. Add light soy sauce and toasted sesame oil, mixing until well combined. Gradually incorporate all-purpose flour.
  3. Fold the prepared vegetables into the batter, ensuring each piece is well-coated without overmixing.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and drizzle with oil until shimmering.
  5. Pour the batter mixture into the skillet to form one large pancake or two medium pancakes. Cook for about 5 minutes or until golden brown.
  6. Flip the pancake carefully and cook for another 4-5 minutes until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a cutting board to rest.
  7. Slice into wedges and garnish with Japanese mayonnaise, pickled ginger, chopped scallions, and sesame seeds before serving.
