   取肉沫，加入 1/2 的调料（油、盐、糖、酱油、风味调料）和全部生粉，搅拌均匀。

   ⏱30 min

   • 💡 Marinate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to absorb.腌制时间需保证 30 分钟以入味
   
2. 2

   Make the Batter

   调制面糊

   Add the egg, the remaining 1/2 of the seasonings, and water equal to 1/2 the amount of flour to the flour. Stir into a thick, pourable batter.

   面粉中加入鸡蛋、剩余 1/2 调料及面粉量 1/2 的水，搅拌成粘稠可流动的面糊。

   ⏱5 min

   • 💡 Control the amount of water carefully so the batter is thick yet still pourable.水量要控制好，保证面糊既粘稠又能流动
   
3. 3

   Prep the Vegetables

   处理蔬菜

   Mince the garlic, cut the scallion (white part) into segments, and finely mince the carrot.

   蒜头切末，大葱切段，胡萝卜切成细碎的末。

   ⏱5 min

   • 💡 The finer the carrot is minced, the easier it is to cook through.胡萝卜末越碎越好，方便熟透
   
4. 4

   Stir-Fry the Filling

   炒制馅料

   Heat the wok with plenty of cooking oil. Sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, add the minced meat and stir-fry until just cooked, then add the minced carrot and stir-fry until the oil turns golden.

   热锅宽油，爆香蒜末，加入肉沫翻炒至断生，再加入胡萝卜末炒至油呈金黄色。

   ⏱5 min

   • 💡 The oil turning golden indicates the carrot's flavor has been extracted.油变金黄色代表胡萝卜的风味已被萃取

   Mix the Batter

   混合面糊

   Turn off the heat and let it cool for 2 minutes, then pour the stir-fried minced meat into the raw batter and stir thoroughly.

   平底锅铺底油，小火将面糊倒入铺平，趁表面未凝固撒上葱段。

   ⏱5 min

   • 💡 Do not make it too thick; you can tilt and shake the pan to spread it evenly.厚度不要过高，可以通过端锅摇晃铺平
   
7. 7

   Cook Both Sides

   双面煎烤

   Cook over low heat until the bottom sets, then flip. Cook the other side until it sets, then cook each side for an additional 20 seconds.

   小火煎至底面凝固后翻面，另一面也煎至凝固，最后每面各加煎 20 秒。

   ⏱5 min

   • 💡 Keep the heat low throughout to avoid a burnt exterior with an undercooked interior.全程保持小火，避免外焦内生
