Tips & Variations:
- Zucchini: Feel free to use any type of zucchini you have available- any works as long as it’s firm, smooth, and has a slight gloss.
- It’s best to use a cheesecloth when squeezing the water from the zucchini, however, if you don’t have that available a clean handkerchief (I’ve used this kind of handkerchief) or even a thin pillowcase would work!
- Sauce: You can eat this plain or in your favorite sauce. Here’s a simple one: 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon vinegar, then mix until combined.
- Storage: Refrigerate in an airtight container for 2-3 days. To reheat, fry for about 2 minutes on both sides. Using a microwave might result in soggy pancakes.
