Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Today, we’re going to make delicious and nutritious tuna donggeurangttaeng, a favorite for all ages! It’s not difficult, so follow along step by step.
Step 2
First, thoroughly drain the oil from the canned tuna. It’s best to remove as much oil as possible as it can affect the flavor. To the drained tuna, add 2 finely chopped Cheongyang chili peppers, 1/3 finely chopped carrot, 1/2 finely chopped onion, and a handful of chopped green onions. Then, add 1/2 cup of pancake mix, 2 eggs, a pinch of salt, and 2 teaspoons of minced garlic.
Step 3
Once all ingredients are in the bowl, mix them thoroughly with a spatula or spoon until a cohesive mixture forms. Ensure all ingredients are evenly combined for a pleasant appearance and taste. Kneading the mixture until it’s well-combined is key.
Step 4
Take spoonfuls of the well-mixed tuna batter and shape them into small, round patties (donggeurangttaeng). You can make them any size you prefer. Heat a generous amount of vegetable oil in a pan over medium-low heat. Carefully place the patties in the hot oil and fry them until golden brown and crispy on both sides. Adjust the heat to prevent burning.
Step 5
Once both sides are a beautiful golden brown, they are ready! Your delicious and savory tuna donggeurangttaeng is complete. They are fantastic served warm, but also make a convenient and tasty snack or appetizer when cooled.
