In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cold water, egg, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Whisk until smooth to create a thin pancake batter.
Fold in the chopped scallions, julienned carrot, red bell pepper, and zucchini to evenly distribute the vegetables.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Pour half of the batter into the skillet, spreading it out evenly to form a pancake about 1/4-inch thick.
Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side until golden and crisp, then carefully flip and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes. Remove from the skillet and repeat with the remaining batter, adding the remaining tablespoon of oil as needed.
To make the dipping sauce, mix together rice vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, chopped garlic, and gochugaru (if using) in a small bowl.
Slice the pancakes into triangular wedges and serve warm with the dipping sauce on the side.
