Instructions

Mix sauce ingredients together and chill.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk eggs with the soy sauce, sesame oil, and salt. Gradually add the flour until incorporated. Fold in vegetables, scallions, ginger and shrimp or shiitakes.

Heat a tablespoon of sunflower oil in a non-stick saute pan, over medium high heat. Ladle the batter into the skillet as you would for regular pancakes. Cook on each side for about 3 minutes or until golden brown. Keep pancakes covered in a warm oven as you make the rest. Scatter sesame seeds top of pancakes and serve with dipping sauce.
