Pancake Ingredients

  • 1 can skipjack tuna (drained)
  • 1 large egg
  • 4 Tbsp all-purpose flour (like Bob’s Red Mill)
  • 2 Tbsp water
  • 1/4 carrot (finely diced)
  • 1/4 onion (finely diced)
  • 1 green chili or Korean spicy pepper (seeds removed, finely diced)
  • 1 stalk white part of green onion (finely diced)

Seasoning & Oil

  • Salt to taste
  • Pinch of black pepper
  • Vegetable oil for frying (generous amount)

Cooking Instructions

Step 1

First, let’s prepare the vegetables that will add flavor and texture to our tuna pancakes. Finely dice the carrot, onion, green onion, and chili pepper. It’s important not to chop them too finely; aim for pieces that offer a pleasant bite, so you can still feel their texture in the pancake. In a mixing bowl, add the drained skipjack tuna. Use a spoon or spatula to gently break up the tuna chunks into smaller pieces.

Step 2

To the crumbled tuna, add the egg, all-purpose flour, and water. Season with a pinch of salt and a dash of black pepper. Using a spatula or spoon, mix everything together with a gentle stirring motion until a cohesive batter forms. Don’t overmix; just combine until the ingredients are bound and the batter has a slightly sticky, cohesive texture.

Step 3

Now, add all the finely diced vegetables to the batter and mix them in thoroughly. Once everything is well combined, take portions of the mixture and shape them into flattened, round patties using your hands. Heat a generous amount of vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-low heat. Carefully place the formed patties into the hot oil. Fry them until golden brown and crispy on both sides, flipping them gently halfway through cooking.
