I present to you: sardine salad sandwich

Pickled cucumber; charred onions; spicy tomato sauce; boiled egg; airy pancake; sardine mix

what's in it

sardine mix

The sardine is gutted and boiled in salt water, once cooked I flake into flakes. I then chopped some tomato, chive and mix it with the sardines. The tomato and chive are mainly there to slightly mask the fishy smell of the fish while adding a savoury note. I bring it together with tomato ketchup.

boiled egg

Egg and sardine just works well in my book! I simmer it in boiling water for 10 minute then immediately cool in cold water.

pickled cucumber

To freshen up the salad plus a satisfying crunch, I made this pickles which was pickled in apple cider vinegar, molasses, and salt.

airy pancake

Okay maybe I should not call it pancake because I did not made it in a pan. I made it in a oven with a ramekin. I did this mainly because I want a high pancake. Without a egg mold or anything else similar I cannot do that in a pan, at least I haven't thought of a way yet. I wanted to make a fluffy, light pancake, because all the ingredients seem so dense, a light pancake would balance out that dense feeling and also you would have a good bread to topping ratio! I whipped up some egg white, add a little vinegar, salt and sugar. Once achieved stiffed peak I add the flour in. Next trensfered to a well buttered ramekin and bake it in a oven at 190 degrees centigrade for 20minutes rotating halfway in the oven.

Spring onion

Just for colour, a little spicy taste and a little flavour

how's made

1. First layer, the fluffy pancake

2. Next, picked cucumber, just so some of the flavourful bring can absorb into the pancake.

3. On top of that, is the charred onions

4. And then the slice egg

5. Next the star of the show, the sardine mix

6. Lastly spinkle some spring onions and drizzle some spicy tomato sauce ( tomato purée, fermented chille, sugar)

and walla, done!!
