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!
