I made two of these today, one with rice flour and zucchini, and the other with all-purpose flour, zucchini, and the kernels off of half an ear of corn. My family unanimously agreed that the corn version was better, though both were delicious! I would say that whereas the pancake made with all-purpose flour was crisp, the rice flour pancake was crunchy. Another thing to note, although the measurements for the pancake don’t need to be changed for rice flour (to make it GF), since rice flour is much less absorbent than regular flour, it does benefit from sitting for a few minutes to give it a chance to soak up all of that water! I also salted my zucchini, let it sit 10 minutes, and squeezed out all the excess water using a thin towel before adding in the other ingredients. I then used the liquid I squeezed out as part of the 1/2 c water added to the pancake mixture. And for those without fresh chili peppers (to use in the dipping sauce), I substituted 1 tsp red pepper flakes for a double batch of sauce just fine :-)
Fantastic recipe again!!! I used potato starch instead of flour in the butternut squash one and it turned out delicious! I was wondering what other type of flour I could use in the batter? Can I use potato starch or rice flour maybe? My husband doesn’t eat gluten and he’s dying to try it! Thanks so much Maangchi!
Rice flour is a good replacement. Potato starch won’t work well.
Oh great! Thanks so much Maangchi, and thank you for responding so quickly!
Hi Maangchi,
I made this recipe today.
1) Instead of flour, I used Korean Pancake Mix.
2) The zucchini was placed in a cheese cloth and excess water squeezed out.
3) I added a teaspoon+ of white powdered sugar to the mix.
It turned out great and I wish I made more. Next time.
Hi Maangchi! I made the zucchini pancake today and it was a success! ^o^ My batter was a little too wet though so the centre of the pancake was a bit gooey, but it was still very good. Thank you for the delicious recipe!

Your pancake looks thin and delicious! ” centre of the pancake was a bit gooey” add more oil and lift the edge with your spatula, tilting the pan so that the oil reaches to the center. The oil make it crispy. Good luck!
I tried to cook this kind of pancake and my husband love it.
Thank you for your site..
Hi Maangchi,

Oh my! This was so good. I loved the sauce! Thank you so much for sharing these wonderful recipes. I am falling in love with South Korea all because of maangchi.com!!!!! LOL!
Im interested in the zucchini pancake but the dipping sauce sounds like it would really make this go together well like peanut butter and jelly! Great post Maangchi :)
Hi maangchi!
Can I use this recipe for lunchbox?
You can use it for lunchbox but it will lose its crispness.
can I mix squash and zuchini to make into a pancake?
yes, you can.
I made the zucchini pancake tonight and it was so delicious! One of my favorite foods is deep fried zucchini and this tastes so much like it and is so much healthier! It’s extra tasty with the dipping sauce! Thank you, Maangchi!
Thank you for your update! Hobakjeon is very delicious and easy to make!
