Ingredients

• 200 grams Shrimp (peeled, deveined, and finely chopped)
• 1 stalk Celery (finely diced)
• 1 tablespoon Ginger (grated)
• 150 grams All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 180 milliliters Water
• 1 large Egg
• 2 stalks Green onions (thinly sliced)
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 1 clove Garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil (for frying)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon White pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, and white pepper. Gradually whisk in the water until a smooth batter forms.

Step 2

Beat in the egg to the batter mixture, ensuring it is fully incorporated.

Step 3

Fold in the chopped shrimp, diced celery, grated ginger, and sliced green onions. Mix gently to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 4

In a small bowl, prepare the dipping sauce by combining the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, and sesame oil. Stir well and set aside.

Step 5

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.

Step 6

Once the oil is hot, ladle about 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet, spreading it out into a round pancake shape. Cook 2–3 pancakes at a time, depending on the size of your skillet.

Step 7

Cook each pancake for 2–3 minutes on one side, until the edges turn golden brown and crispy. Flip and cook the other side for an additional 2–3 minutes.

Step 8

Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more vegetable oil as needed to prevent sticking.

Step 9

Once the pancakes are cooked, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 10

Serve the shrimp celery and ginger pancakes hot with the soy ginger dipping sauce on the side.
