Steps
- 01
Peel and cut radish into roughly 3-mm-thin matchsticks. Chop the green onion and optional jalapeño.
- 02
Salt the radish with 1/2 tsp salt and rest for 10 minutes. Keep its natural moisture to help bind the batter.
- 03
Mix flour, cornstarch, egg, onion and 3 tbsp water into the radish. Add 1 more tbsp water only if too dry; the strands should hold together in a moist batter.
- 04
Heat a little oil over medium heat; spread about 1/4 cup batter thinly per pancake. Sprinkle sesame, cook until the bottom is golden (about 2–3 minutes), flip and cook the second side until the egg batter is fully set.
- 05
Stir together 2 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tbsp lemon juice. Serve the cooked pancakes warm with this dipping sauce.
