Main Ingredients- Sweet potatoes: 310g (about 1-2 medium-sized)
- Canned tuna: 140g (including the oil)
- Egg: 1 large
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Thoroughly wash the sweet potatoes. Peel them, then thinly julienne them into matchsticks. You’ll need approximately 310g. Cutting them thinly ensures even cooking and a pleasant texture.
Step 2
Drain the excess oil from the canned tuna using a sieve, but don’t discard all the oil – include some of the tuna’s natural oil in the mixing bowl. This oil adds an extra layer of flavor to the pancakes.
Step 3
Measure and add 54g of curry powder to the bowl. The curry powder beautifully complements the sweetness of the sweet potato and cuts through any richness from the tuna, creating a balanced flavor.
Step 4
Add 20g of tempura flour to the batter mix. This will contribute to a wonderfully crispy texture.
Step 5
Add 20g of buchim garu (Korean pancake mix) to the bowl. Combining tempura flour and buchim garu helps achieve a delightful crispiness and a well-cooked pancake.
Step 6
Pour in 100ml of water and crack in 1 fresh egg. Ensure all the ingredients are ready to be mixed.
Step 7
Combine the julienned sweet potatoes, drained tuna, and all the batter ingredients in the mixing bowl. Gently mix everything together with a spatula or spoon, being careful not to mash the sweet potatoes. Mix until well combined, allowing the fragrant curry aroma to fill the air as you create your delicious pancake batter.
Step 8
Heat about 30ml of cooking oil in a frying pan over medium-low heat. Ladle the batter onto the hot pan, shaping it into round, flat pancakes. This recipe should yield approximately two pancakes, depending on the size of your pan. Cook until golden brown and crispy on both sides. Avoid making the pancakes too thick for optimal results.
Step 9
Arrange the beautifully cooked sweet potato and tuna pancakes on a serving plate. Gather your loved ones to enjoy this warm, flavorful, and special Chuseok treat together! ^^
