A tasty and healthy okoy made from tuna chunks and combination of vegetables such as squash, carrots, sweet potatoes (or kamote). This appetizer is very suited to picky eaters like kids who doesn’t want to eat fish or vegetables. You can give them a chance to eat vegetables in a different way that is crisp and tasty.  And also, I have a tasty sweet and tangy vinegar dipping sauce which I’m sure you will love!!!

  • In a mixing bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, egg, water, salt and pepper. Mix until the batter is smooth and all the lumps disappear.
  • Drain the tuna chunks and flake it using a fork or spoon.
  • Then in the mixing bowl add the carrot, squash, sweet potato, bell pepper, tuna chunks, garlic, onion and spring onions.
  • Mix the ingredients thoroughly until the veggies are well coated with the batter.

  • Then transfer to a paper towel lined plate and serve with vinegar dipping sauce (see recipe below).
