Ingredients
Main Ingredients (1 pancake)
- Komatsuna (Japanese Mustard Spinach) 1/2 bunch (100g)
- Carrot 1/4 (50g)
- Canned Tuna 1 can (70g) (drained)
- Cake Flour 2 tbsp
- Egg 1
- Water 1 tbsp
Seasonings
- Dashi Powder 1 tsp
- [A] Vegetable Oil 1/2 tbsp
- [A] Sesame Oil 1/2 tbsp
Steps
- Trim the ends of 1/2 bunch (100g) Komatsuna and cut into 3cm pieces.
- Peel and finely julienne 1/4 carrot (50g).
- Place the cut komatsuna and carrot into a bowl.
- Add 1 can (70g) canned tuna (drained) to the bowl and mix everything together.
- Add 2 tbsp cake flour and 1 tsp dashi powder to the bowl and mix until the flour evenly coats the ingredients.
- Lightly beat 1 egg and add it to the bowl along with 1 tbsp water. Mix well until everything is incorporated.
- Mix together 1/2 tbsp vegetable oil and 1/2 tbsp sesame oil. [Secret Tip!] Komatsuna pairs well with the flavor of sesame oil, so adding it makes the dish extra delicious.
- Heat the mixed oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
- Once the pan is hot, add all the ingredients and shape them into a flat circle about 22cm in diameter. Since the komatsuna takes up a lot of volume, press it down with a spatula while it cooks.
- Cook until the bottom is golden brown.
- When it's golden brown and the pancake slides easily in the pan, carefully transfer it to a plate.
- Drizzle the remaining oil in the pan over the cooked side of the pancake, then cover the pan with the plate and flip it over.
- Reshape the pancake and cook until golden brown on the other side.
- Once both sides are golden brown, turn off the heat.
- Cut the "Komatsu Tuna Pancakes" into desired serving sizes and plate them. If you find it a bit bland, you can serve it with your favorite condiments.
