Wash the zucchini and shred with a tool. Make sure that they are similar in size. Then sprinkle some salt and set aside. Then squeeze the water out.

Add all-purpose flour, egg, oyster sauce, salt and pepper in. Mix in one direction until there is no dry flour left any more. Set aside for around 15 minutes.

Add vegetable oil in and spread the batter. Try to make it as round as possbile. I prefer to pan-fry the pancake one time. But you can choose to fry it as smaller ones by 2 or 3 batches.
