This Chinese-Inspired Breakfast Pancake Is A Paleo Treat
- 1 pound zucchini
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 8 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 8 ounces cooked salad shrimp
- 4 scallions
- 4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Green scallion tops and cilantro leaves, for garnish
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons plus 1/2 cup light-tasting olive or avocado oil
- 1 tablespoon unseasoned rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons coconut aminos
- 1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- Julienne the zucchini with a spiralizer. Place the noodles in a colander and toss generously with salt until the strands are lightly coated. Set in the sink to drain while you prep the other ingredients.
- Crack the eggs into a medium bowl, and add the coconut aminos, Chinese five-spice powder, sesame oil, salt, and cayenne pepper; whisk until combined and set aside. Thinly slice the scallions, and set them aside.
- Smash and peel the garlic clove and place it in a pint-size Mason jar. Add the egg yolk, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, the rice vinegar, lemon juice, coconut aminos, salt, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes to the jar and whirl with a stick blender until smooth. With the blender running inside the jar, add the remaining 1/2 cup oil, and puree until thickened.
- Rinse the zucchini noodles under running water, drain well, and squeeze them dry in a clean dish towel. Heat a large, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, 2 minutes. Add the zucchini noodles and stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes until wilted and dry. Add the shrimp and sliced scallions; toss to combine.
- Pour 2 teaspoons oil into the edge of the pan so it runs under the zucchini. Then pour the egg batter into the pan and swirl the skillet so the eggs run into and under the zucchini. Pat it smooth, cover the pan with a lid, and cook, undisturbed, for 6 minutes, then reduce the heat to low and cook until the eggs are set, about 5 minutes more. Flip the pancake out of the pan and onto a cutting board. Let it cool for a minute or two before cutting.
- , cut the pancake into wedges, drizzle it with sauce, and sprinkle with scallions and cilantro.
