Zucchini Pancakes (Hobakjeon)
Posted on May 29, 2012
These zucchini pancakes are a traditional Korean dish called Hobakjeon, that is served with spicy soy sauce. It is a different way of cooking zucchinis and I must say it is really delicious and looks great.
I added a little bit of green onion as they are in season now. Zucchini pancakes are very easy to prepare, doesn't take much time and are perfect as a side dish or as an appetizer.
I like to make these zucchini pancakes for my daughters as a side dish to their meat, without the spicy soy sauce for them. It is a great way to include zucchinis in their meal.

I have 4 zucchinis in my fridge right now and I wasn't sure what to do with it. I think I got a good recipe!! I've never made a pancake with zucchini. We have a Japanese dish called Okonomiyaki, which we use cabbage to make pancakes. I need to make this one next!

Those zucchini fries look exlceelnt! I am going to have to give that a try. I am so not exciting when it comes to zucchini and I usually just steam or grill it.I am looking into getting a new food magazine. I might have to pick that one and try it out.

I tried this, but replaced it with carrots, just to test how to cook them. I also replaced green onion with an actual onion cause I didn't have any one hand. It wasn't too bad really. I kinda got a strange look when I told people what it was...Carrot pancakes are definetily not the norm.
