Place the whole pumpkin in a plastic bag and microwave for 2 minutes to soften for easier cutting.

Cut the softened pumpkin in half and scoop out the seeds using a spoon.

Peel the pumpkin skin using a peeler.

Thinly slice the pumpkin into strips and then julienne.

Julienne the onion into thin strips.

Combine the julienned pumpkin and onion in a bowl, and sprinkle with 3 pinches of salt.

Mix the ingredients with gloved hands and let sit for 10 minutes to soften and release moisture.

Add 2 tbsp of pancake flour to the mixture and mix thoroughly.

Heat a frying pan with sufficient cooking oil. Scoop small portions of the mixture with a spoon and shape into pancakes.

Cook the pancakes until golden brown on both sides.
