Japanese Style Zucchini Pancakes
Inspired by traditional Japanese okonomiyaki. Zucchini is the star of this dish. Make small pancakes for a quick lunch or an easy snack – just be careful bringing these to parties as they will vanish in seconds and you will be pestered for the recipe by vegans and non-vegans alike!
