Instructions
- Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 cup cold water, and 1 large egg until smooth to create a batter; season with 1/2 tsp salt.
- Step 2: Fold in 4 oz chopped shrimp, 4 oz sliced squid, 3 chopped green onions, and 1/2 julienned carrot until evenly combined.
