These flavorful little pancakes make a great appetizer or a side dish for Asian food.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 Tablespoons sesame seeds
  • 2 cups shredded carrots (about 3 medium)
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped scallions
  • 2 Tablespoons grated fresh ginger
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed through a press
  • 1/4 cup cracker meal
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Vegetable oil
  • Thai Dipping Sauce

Preparation:

Toast the sesame seeds in a dry skillet over low heat, stirring, until golden, about 2 minutes.

Combine the carrots, scallions, ginger, and garlic in a large bowl; stir to blend. Add the cracker meal, eggs, sesame seeds and salt; stir to blend.

Heat 1/2 inch oil in a medium skillet until hot enough to sizzle a crust of bread. Add the batter by rounded tablespoons and fry, turning once, until browned on both sides. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Serve warm with Thai Dipping Sauce.

Yield: about 20 bite-size pancakes
