Creating delicious Korean Tuna Pancakes is simple if you follow these clear steps:
- Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, all-purpose flour, egg, cold water, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth.
- Add Vegetables: Gently fold in the chopped green onions, shredded carrots, and bell peppers to the batter until evenly distributed.
- Heat the Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of oil, allowing it to coat the bottom.
- Cooking the Pancakes: Once the oil is hot, ladle about 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet, spreading it into a round shape.
- Fry Until Golden: Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown. Flip carefully and cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes.
- Repeat: Continue this process, adding more oil as needed for each batch, until all batter is used.
- Drain Excess Oil: Once cooked, place pancakes on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
- Serve Hot: Transfer pancakes to a serving platter and keep warm until ready to serve.
These easy steps will lead you to crispy, flavorful Korean Tuna Pancakes that are both satisfying and memorable.
