→ Asian Dipping Sauce

13 - 2 tablespoons soy sauce
14 - 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
15 - 1 teaspoon sesame oil
16 - 1 teaspoon honey or sugar
17 - 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
18 - 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes, optional
19 - 1 tablespoon water, as needed to thin

# Instructions:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded carrots, zucchini, potato if using, cabbage, and green onions until well mixed.
02 - In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, all-purpose flour, cornstarch, soy sauce, sesame oil, and season with salt and pepper.
03 - Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly coated.
04 - Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Drop heaped spoonfuls of the vegetable mixture into the pan, flatten gently with the back of the spoon. Cook for 3–4 minutes per side, until golden and crisp, adding more oil as needed and frying in batches.
05 - Transfer pancakes to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
06 - In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey or sugar, grated ginger, and chili flakes if using. Add water to thin if needed.
07 - Arrange the crispy vegetable pancakes on a serving platter and serve with the dipping sauce on the side.

# Notes:

01 - Vegetable selection can be tailored; bell peppers or spinach work well.
02 - For gluten-free preparation, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend.
03 - Increase chili flakes or include sriracha for added heat in the dipping sauce.
