A simple pancake recipe using plenty of seasonal zucchini. Enjoy it as a snack or a meal, with its fluffy and melt-in-your-mouth texture. The savory flavor of tuna spreads, and you can enjoy it with your favorite sauces or syrups.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients (Makes 6 pancakes)

  • Zucchini 1 (200g)
  • Egg 1
  • Milk 4 tbsp
  • Cake Flour 6 tbsp
  • Canned Tuna (drained) 1 can
  • Vegetable Oil (for cooking)

Seasonings

  • Salt 1/4 tsp
  • Salt and Pepper (to taste)

Steps

  1. Finely shred Zucchini (200g) into 2mm thick slices.
  2. Massage salt (1/4 tsp) into the shredded zucchini and let it sit for 10 minutes. (Key tip: Zucchini is a watery vegetable, so salting it beforehand draws out moisture, preventing the batter from becoming sticky and ensuring a clean sear.)
  3. In a bowl, add 1 egg and 4 tbsp milk. Whisk to combine.
  4. Add 6 tbsp cake flour to the egg and milk mixture. Mix until no lumps remain.
  5. Once the lumps are gone, add the drained canned tuna and the squeezed zucchini to the bowl.
  6. Add salt and pepper (to taste) and mix everything well. (Key tip: Adding a whole zucchini generously to the batter prevents it from becoming too dense, resulting in a fluffy and melt-in-your-mouth texture.)
  7. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
  8. Once the pan is hot, scoop about a heaping tablespoon of the batter and drop it onto the pan, spreading it into a flat circle.
  9. Cook over medium heat for about 2 minutes until golden brown on one side, then flip.
  10. Flip, cover with a lid, and steam for 2 minutes. Once both sides are golden brown and cooked through, transfer to a plate.
  11. Add more vegetable oil to the pan and cook the remaining batter in the same way.
  12. Serve with your favorite condiments such as ketchup, mayonnaise, okonomiyaki sauce, or syrup.
