Tips:

• Seafood: You can use any type of seafood you like, such as shrimp, squid, clams, or mussels.
• Thickness: Adjust the thickness of the pancake to your preference. A thicker pancake will be chewier, while a thinner one will be crispier.
• Dipping sauce: You can customize the dipping sauce to your taste. Some people like to add a bit of sesame oil or sugar to the soy sauce mixture.
• Oil: Use enough oil to prevent the pancake from sticking to the pan.
