Main Ingredients
- 1 Enoki mushroom
- 1 can (125g) canned tuna
- 3 Eggs
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, trim the base of the enoki mushroom and slice it into approximately 2cm lengths. This helps the mushrooms maintain their shape during cooking.
Step 2
Wash the chives thoroughly, pat them dry, and finely chop them into about 0.5cm pieces. The fresh aroma of chives will enhance the flavor of the pancakes.
Step 3
Peel the carrot and finely mince it into pieces about 0.3cm in size. Adding carrots provides a beautiful color and a pleasant crunch.
Step 4
It’s crucial to drain the oil from the canned tuna thoroughly using a sieve. Press the tuna with a spoon or other utensil to remove as much oil as possible. This ensures the pancakes are not greasy and retain a clean, savory taste.
Step 5
In a large bowl, crack the 3 eggs and add 2 pinches of salt. Whisk them together until smooth, breaking up the egg whites. Then, add the prepared enoki mushrooms, drained tuna, minced carrot, and chopped chives. Mix everything well with a chopstick or spatula until all ingredients are evenly combined with the egg mixture.
Step 6
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add a generous amount of cooking oil. Spoon portions of the batter into the pan, forming them into small, round pancakes of your desired size. Shaping them into rounds makes them easier to flip and visually appealing.
Step 7
Cook over medium-low heat, flipping them occasionally, until both sides are golden brown and cooked through. Be mindful of the heat to prevent burning and ensure the inside is fully cooked. Once golden brown, your delicious Tuna and Enoki Mushroom Pancakes are ready to be enjoyed! They are best served warm.
