Add water and whisk until smooth. Stir in mushrooms, scallions, shrimp, garlic and red and green chiles. Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking. Spoon one-fourth of the batter (about 2/3 cup) into the hot oil. Spread evenly to make a 6-inch pancake. Cook until golden brown and crispy, 1 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Repeat with the remaining oil and batter in three more batches. Cut the pancakes into wedges. Serve warm with the dipping sauce (see headnote), if desired. Tips Tips: Gochugaru is ground dried Korean chiles. Doenjang is a flavorful paste that, like miso, is made from fermented soybeans. Fresh Korean chiles can be green or red. Related to Thai chiles, they are medium-spicy.

Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients.
