Rainbow Jeon (Pancake)

I love cabbage, carrots, green onions, and, of course, the potato. I decided to make a pancake out of them (which you can make GF by using GF flour and GF soy sauce). I call this “Rainbow Jeon” because of how colorful they turned out. And I love the idea of cutting them up into little rectangles, because they remind me of those small mini-sandwiches you get when you go to those fancy afternoon teas.

You don’t need a dipping sauce for these either. The batter is infused with garlic powder, onion powder, and soy sauce, making each bite a massive umami bomb.

I don’t really have much more to say about this recipe (I’m such a terrible blogger), so I’ll leave you to it. Make this. You will love it. My husband ate the whole thing by himself.

4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 jalapeno, seeded and sliced
  • 1 russet potato, julienned
  • 1 large carrot, julienned
  • 4 leaves red cabbage, julienned
  • 4 green onions, chopped
  • 1/2 cup JUSTEgg (or plant milk)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 cup flour (can substitute in GF flour)
  • 2 tbsp potato starch
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp onion powder
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp oil, for frying
  • 1 tbsp black sesame seeds halved

Instructions
 

  • After chopping up all the vegetables, add them to a large bowl.
  • Add the liquid egg replacer (or plant milk), together with the flour, potato starch, salt, pepper, onion, powder, and garlic powder. Add soy sauce and mix everything together.
  • In a medium non-stick pan, add oil over medium high heat. When the oil begins to shimmer, pour the entire contents of the bowl into the pan.
  • Cook for about 3 minutes, until the underside is golden brown. Flip using a large spatula. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Cook for an additional 2 minutes and then flip once more.
  • Cook for 1 more minute and then remove from the pan. Cut into rectangular pieces.

Hi! Have you tried it with sweet potato?

Reply
the.krn.vegan@gmail.com February 9, 2021 at 9:38 pm

I have not! It generally takes a lot longer to cook sweet potatoes than regular potatoes, so you might have to create more shoestrings than matchsticks, to make sure they cook through?

I love your narration on IG and recipes, this one I am eager to make!

Can I use corn starch instead of potato starch?

Best,
Yvonne!

Thank you! I haven’t tried using corn starch, but I definitely think it’s worth a try!

Hi! I’m looking forward to trying this:) The idea of prepping is usually what stops me from trying recipes, but this looks modifiable…so if I were to use some sort of slaw mix instead of cutting the veggies (save the potato) myself, do you have an estimate on how much volume I’d need? (two cups? more?). Thank you in advance and no worries if you can’t or don’t want to answer!

Hi there! I think if you tried using a prepared slaw, you should go with about 2 1/2 cups. Good luck!!!

I absolutely love your Instagram stories while cooking. Your voice, camera work, cooking and stories are very very special! And I’m going to make this ASAP! I’m not a vegan so can I use 2 scrambled eggs instead? Thank you!

Hi Eileen! the Egg substitute is intended to cover 2 eggs. 😉 And thank you for your kind words about my IG!!

You trip and fall and you’re in a face full of love before you can do anything about it. And sometimes that’s awesome because you tripped into cotton candy and chocolate cake.  But sometimes the cotton candy turns cloying and the chocolate cake turns into crap. Are you stuck there forever? No!! It might feel like you can’t control who you give your heart to, but you can. It might be the hardest thing you ever do, but YOU choose love, love doesn’t choose you. You can find the recipe to the chocolate cake in my bio (just double it to make a layer cake). I’ll be doing a full YT tutorial on this cake later this week. Have a lovely weekend all!
