  3. In the meantime, finely slice and shred all the vegetables including the cabbage, mushrooms, carrot and green onions. Place the vegetables into the bowl with the batter and stir to combine well, making sure the batter is evenly distributed. Season with sea salt and pepper.
  4. Heat half the olive oil in a non-stick 20-22cm frying pan and add half the vegetable mixture. Press down with the back of a spoon so it fills the pan in an even and flat layer.
