Zucchini and Egg Pancakes (Huotisi)
Today I'm sharing the recipe for Zucchini and Egg Pancakes, also known as 'Huotisi' – a perfect main dish for breakfast or dinner. With vegetables, eggs, and flour, you can combine it with milk or soy milk, or pair it with millet porridge or oatmeal, which will be very comfortable for your intestines. If you don't have zucchini at home, you can replace it with carrots or other vegetables. Not only is it colorful, but it's also a great way to increase your child's vegetable intake!
Zucchini and Egg Huotisi Pancakes
Ingredients Preparation:
1 zucchini (about 130g), 2 eggs, 50g of ordinary flour or whole wheat flour, 6g of salt, 1g of white pepper, and an appropriate amount of vegetable oil
Production Process:
1Wash the zucchini and cut it into fine strands, trying to cut it as finely as possible, sprinkle a spoonful of salt and mix evenly, let it stand for a few minutes, and the zucchini will release water.
2Squeeze out the water and put it in a bowl, beat in the eggs, add salt, white pepper, and stir with a fork.
3Pour in the flour and stir until there are no flour particles.
4Brush a little oil in a flat pan, scoop a spoonful of batter into the pan and spread it into small round pancakes.
5Sprinkle sesame and shredded carrots on the batter for decoration.
6Cook over low heat, when one side is set, flip it over, cover the pan with a lid to steam until the pancake is cooked through, then you can turn off the heat.
Tips:
1The zucchini strands must be fine enough, otherwise the pancake will easily disperse.
2If the flour is relatively thick, you can add some water, but the amount of water must be controlled, the batter should not be too thin, otherwise it will disperse in the pan and the pancake will not take shape.
3You can replace zucchini with carrots, white cabbage, or other leafy vegetables.
Suitable Population
2 years old and above babies
Recommendation Reasons
Zucchini is rich in dietary fiber, which is also very effective in regulating the baby's constipation. The nutritional value of eggs doesn't need to be mentioned, it is a good source of high-quality protein, which can promote the baby's growth and development. If your child doesn't like to eat vegetables, you can refer to this method to incorporate vegetables into the pancake, so that the child can unconsciously eat it. If eaten for breakfast, it is recommended to prepare the batter the day before and store it in the refrigerator, and then directly spread the pancakes in the morning to save a lot of time!
