Ingredients

  • 3 ounces brussels sprouts
  • 1 medium sweet potato
  • 1 whole scallion
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
  • cup all-purpose flour
  • 6 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons Sriracha
  • 2 tablespoons Kewpie mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons bonito flakes
  • 1 tablespoon furikake

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1.

    Combine brussels sprouts, sweet potato, scallion, and egg in a large bowl; season with salt. Mix with your hands until vegetables are evenly coated. Sprinkle flour over vegetables and toss to combine (mixture shouldn't be gummy, but a handful should clump together).

  2. 2.

    Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add half of vegetable mixture; press into a thin even layer across bottom of skillet. Cook until pancake begins to set, about 1 minute. Drizzle 1 Tbsp. oil around edge and shake to ensure pancake can slide around; cook until golden brown underneath, about 2 minutes longer. Slide pancake onto a baking sheet or the underside of a flat pot lid, then invert pancake back into skillet. Drizzle 1 Tbsp. oil around edge of pancake and cook until second side is golden brown, about 2 minutes. Repeat with remaining vegetable mixture and 3 Tbsp. oil to make another pancake. Serve topped with Sriracha, mayonnaise, bonito flakes, and furikake.
