Cooking light thread again. Melik loves scallion pancakes and I failed with my first attempt at creating them (although he claimed they were great). Maybe this one will be a success...

ok, made these last night and halved the recipe. I thought they needed an extra egg, so I added 2, but I think I should have stuck with 1 - too much egg. They were pretty good though...

Shredded Carrot-Ginger Pancakes

2 1/2 cups coarsely shredded carrot (about 1 pound)
1/2 cup chopped green onions (I used 1/4 cup)
1 teaspoon minced garlic (omitted...don't like garlic)
1 teaspoon grated peeled fresh ginger
1/2 cup egg substitute (I used 2 egg whites and 1 whole egg)
3 tablespoons cracker meal
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon canola oil, divided
Cooking spray
Green onion strips for garnish, optional

To prepare pancakes, combine first 4 ingredients in a large bowl. Combine egg substitute, cracker meal, and salt in a small bowl. Add egg mixture to carrot mixture; stir to blend.

Heat 1/2 teaspoon oil in a non-stick griddle or a large non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Using about 1/4 cup batter per pancake, spoon 4 pancakes onto hot pan, spreading each to a 4-inch diameter. Cook 4 minutes on each side or until bottoms are lightly browned and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and keep warm. Repeat procedure for remaining batter.

Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 2 pancakes).
