Steps

  1. Combine the dipping sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside.
  2. Cut the beef into 10 strips. Each strip should be about 5 inches long and ½ inch thick. Place the strips side by side on a cutting board. Tenderize them by gently pounding them with the back of your kitchen knife. Add garlic, chopped green onion, 2 teaspoons of soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, and ground black pepper over the beef strips. Use your hands to toss the meat and mix it evenly with the ingredients.
  3. Cut the green onions into 4-inch-long pieces. Cut the carrot into 4-inch-long by ½-inch-thick strips. Microwave them for 1 minute or steam for 2 minutes until they're slightly tender. Pick up one wooden skewer and add ingredients to it, ony by one, by piercing them near the top. Add alternating strips of green onion, beef, carrot, and more green onion. For each skewer, it's best to include 2 strips of beef, 2 strips of carrot, and 4 to 5 strips of green onion. Add them in a colorful pattern to make them more appealing. Skewer them carefully, making sure the ingredients don't slip or fall off. Keep skewering ingredients with the green onion, marinated beef, and carrot strips until you have made a total of 5 skewers. Place the skewers on a cutting board and evenly sprinkle ¼ teaspoon of salt on the green onion strips. Evenly coat both sides of the skewers with ¼ cup of flour. Flip the skewers over as you do it to ensure that both sides are coated.
  4. Beat the eggs and strain them over a large shallow bowl to remove any chalaza. Give the eggs a quick stir to ensure they are well mixed. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add about 2 tablespoons of cooking oil. Swirl the oil around to coat the skillet evenly. Dip each skewer into the egg mixture and place it on the skillet to cook. You can cook 2 to 3 skewers at a time, depending on the size of the skillet. Cook the skewers in batches. After about 2 minutes, when the bottom part of the skewers is light golden brown, flip them over with a spatula. Cook over medium or medium-low heat, flipping the skewers over frequently to ensure even cooking. When the green onion looks withered and soft, the pancake is done. Now you can add more cooking oil to the skillet and increase the heat to medium high to make the pancake more crunchy. This process will take a total of 8 to 10 minutes from the beginning.
  5. Serve the skewers hot or warm with the dipping sauce. You can serve them by themselves as a snack or as a side dish for rice or alcohol.
