A recipe for easy-to-make spinach pancakes using plenty of seasonal spinach. Tuna and dashi granules add umami, making this dish enjoyable even for those who dislike vegetables. It's perfect as a snack or side dish, and is a healthy baked dish that's also budget-friendly.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • Spinach 1 bunch (200g)
  • Canned Tuna (drained) 1 can
  • Cake Flour 3 tbsp
  • Eggs 2
  • Vegetable Oil (for cooking)
  • Butter (for finishing)

Seasonings

  • Dashi Granules 1 tsp
  • Okonomiyaki Sauce (to taste)
  • Mayonnaise (to taste)
  • Ketchup (to taste)

Steps

  1. Cut off the root ends of 1 bunch (200g) of spinach and chop into 2cm pieces.
  2. Place the chopped spinach in a heatproof container with the stems facing down and cover with plastic wrap.
  3. Microwave on 600W for 3 minutes.
  4. After microwaving, rinse the spinach in cold water for about 30 seconds to cool and remove excess bitterness.
  5. Once cooled, squeeze out the water from the spinach by hand.
  6. Loosen the squeezed spinach and place it in a bowl.
  7. Add 3 tbsp of cake flour to the bowl, shake the bowl, and coat the spinach evenly with flour.
  8. Add 1 tsp of dashi granules, 1 can of drained canned tuna, and 2 eggs. Mix until everything is combined, whisking the eggs thoroughly. (Key Tip!) Mix well until the egg coats everything to ensure it binds together when cooked.
  9. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
  10. Spread the mixed ingredients evenly in the heated frying pan and cook over medium heat until the bottom is browned.
  11. Once the bottom is browned and set, carefully slide the pancake onto a plate.
  12. Place the frying pan upside down over the pancake, then flip it back into the pan. Shape it into a round form and cook the other side until browned.
  13. It's done when both sides are golden brown.
  14. Cut into easy-to-eat pieces and arrange on a plate.
  15. Serve with your favorite sauce such as mayonnaise, okonomiyaki sauce, or ketchup. (Key Tip!) For a crispier finish when eating as is, cook the surface with butter until crispy.
