1. Place ½ cup of flour, 1 ts salt, ⅔ cup of water in a big bowl and mix it.

5. In a big heated pan, put some oil and spread the vegetable pancake batter thinly. Lower the heat down to medium.
6. Place the chopped seafood over the top and press it down with a spoon or spatula.
7. When the pancake is cooked about 70%, beat one egg and spread it in the center of the pancake and cook a few minutes over low heat.
8. Turn the pancake over with a spatula.
9. Add more oil if needed, and serve it hot with dipping sauce by mixing 1 tbs of soy sauce and ½ tbs of vinegar.
*tip: To make it crispier, add oil more generously and use your spatula to lift the edge of your pancake so that vegetable oil can reach the center. Press the pancake slightly with your spatula.
Why this Korean style vegetable pancake ("yachaejeon") works for PCOS
Evening meals affect overnight insulin and morning blood sugar more than most women realise. Keeping dinner protein-forward and finishing eating at least 2-3 hours before bed gives your body time to clear glucose before the overnight fast, which improves morning fasting insulin readings.
