Creating Vegan Yachaejeon is straightforward with these clear steps. Follow them to ensure a successful cooking experience:

1. Prepare the Batter: In a bowl, combine the flour and salt. Gradually add water, stirring to form a smooth batter. The consistency should be similar to pancake batter—neither too thick nor too watery.

2. Add Vegetables: Fold in the chopped vegetables and season with black pepper. If you desire an extra depth of flavor, you can add soy sauce at this stage.

3. Heat the Pan: In a non-stick frying pan, heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

4. Cook the Pancake: Pour a scoop of the batter into the hot pan, spreading it slightly with the back of the ladle. Aim for a pancake that is about 1/4 inch thick.

5. Fry Until Golden: Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side, or until golden brown. Flip carefully and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side.

6. Repeat: Add more oil to the pan as needed and repeat the process until all the batter is used.

7. Drain Excess Oil: Once cooked, place the pancakes on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

8. Serve Hot: Enjoy your crispy pancakes while they’re still warm, paired with a dipping sauce of your choice if desired.
