# Étapes de préparation:

01 - In a big bowl, toss together grated zucchini, carrots, potato (if using), green onions, and the cabbage.
02 - Mix eggs in another bowl with flour, cornflour, sesame oil, soy sauce, salt, and pepper until it’s all combined smoothly.
03 - Pour the egg batter over your veggies and stir everything well so it’s coated evenly.
04 - Put a couple of tablespoons of vegetable oil into a large non-stick pan. Warm it up over medium heat until it shimmers but isn’t smoking.
05 - Scoop some of the veggie mix into the hot pan. Gently press each portion flat into a pancake shape. Cook 3-4 minutes for both sides or until golden brown and crunchy. Add more oil as needed during batches.
06 - Let cooked pancakes sit on a paper towel-lined plate to soak up any leftover oil.
07 - Combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sugar or honey, grated ginger, and chili flakes (optional) in a bowl. Add a bit of water if it feels too thick.
08 - Lay out the warm veggie pancakes on a serving dish. Put the dipping sauce on the side for everyone to share!
