Korean Tuna Pancakes (Chamchijeon)

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp vegetable oil (or any cooking oil, for frying)
• 1 (7 oz) can tuna (drained)
• 1/4 medium onion (finely diced)
• 1 green onion (chopped)
• 30 g carrot (bell pepper, or other vegetables, diced)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
• 1/4 tsp black pepper (or to taste)
• 2 tbsp shredded cheddar cheese (optional but highly recommended)
• ketchup (or soy sauce to serve, optional)

Instructions

1. 1

   Combine all ingredients (with the exception of vegetable oil) in a medium bowl.

2. 2

   Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and spoon about 3 tbsp of the mixture onto the pan. Round the edges with a spoon, and fry each side for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, flattening them slightly to ensure even cooking.

3. 3

   Remove from the pan and repeat again, adding more oil in between the batches as needed. Serve by dipping into ketchup or soy sauce over a bowl of rice, or add them to a burger. Enjoy!
