Tuna Okomiyaki (Poor man's version)


Ka was "forced" to come up with lunch with almost nothing in the fridge.. Not one to give up, she dug out some veggies and a can of tuna... and this is what she came up with...

Poor-Man's Okono


Ingredients:
2 leaves cabbage (Beijing cabbage works fine) - shredded
1 small carrot - shred or grate
tuna in brine - 1 can (drain liquid)

Batter:
4 tbsp plain flour
1 tbsp cornflour
salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp baking powder
half cup water (or enough to make a watery paste)

Method:
[1] Mix the batter and set aside.
[2] Place the veges in a large mixing bowl and sprinkle some plain flour on top.
[3] Pour in batter mix and stir to coat veggies.
[4] Heat a pan on medium. Place 2 tbsp of veggie mix on pan. Flatten slightly.
[5] Place tuna (quantity to your own liking) on top of the veggies and top with some more veggies. (veggie-tune-veggie). Use the spoon to smoothen everything.
[6] Let the okono cook for about 2-3 minutes, then flip over (advised to use 2 spatulas if you want to keep the shape).. Cook another 2-3 minutes, and you're done!

Top your okono as you like it (I used mayonnaise and chilli sauce) and you have a meal!
