Step-by-Step Instructions

  3. Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and pour in about 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Heat the oil until it shimmers.
  4. Pour about a cup of the batter into the skillet for each pancake, cook for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Carefully flip the pancakes and cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Continue with the remaining batter, adding more vegetable oil as necessary.
  7. Serve hot with a soy-based dipping sauce or your favorite toppings.
