This easy and healthy 'Carrot Pancake' recipe uses a whole carrot and is as simple as mixing and baking. The umami from tuna and dashi stock creates a deep flavor, and it holds together well even with a small amount of flour. It's packed with nutrition and perfect for bento boxes or snacks.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients (2 servings)
- 1 carrot (200g)
- 2 green onions
- 1 can tuna (drained)
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 egg
Seasonings
- 1 tsp dashi powder
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
- Toasted sesame seeds (to taste)
Steps
- Peel and finely shred 1 carrot (200g) into about 2mm thick strips. (Key Tip!) Shredding to 2mm thickness ensures it cooks through well and doesn't become tough.
- Chop 2 green onions into 3cm pieces.
- Place the shredded carrots, chopped green onions, and drained 1 can of tuna into a bowl. Shake the bowl to mix them together.
- Add 1 tsp dashi powder and 2 tbsp all-purpose flour to the bowl and shake to mix evenly.
- Once the flour is evenly distributed, add 1 beaten egg and mix. (Key Tip!) Mix thoroughly until the egg is distributed throughout the mixture to ensure it sets well when cooked.
- Heat vegetable oil (for frying) in a frying pan over medium heat.
- Spread the mixture into a circle about 20cm in diameter in the heated pan and cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom is browned.
- When the pancake can slide smoothly in the pan, carefully slide it onto a plate.
- Cover the frying pan with the plate and flip it over, returning the pancake to the pan. Reshape it into a circle if it has crumbled.
- Cook the other side until browned.
- Once both sides are browned, carefully transfer to a plate, being careful not to break the shape, and cut into desired portions.
- Arrange on a plate.
- Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds (to taste) all over.
- It's delicious as is, but if you prefer more flavor, serve with salt, ponzu sauce, or your favorite condiments.
- (Optional) A mixture of vinegar, sesame oil, salt, and pepper, called 'vinegar pepper', is also recommended.
