Instructions
Sauce
- Mix everything for the sauce and store in an airtight container. Place in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve.
Fish Pancakes
- Combine the flour, potato starch, baking powder, garlic powder, ginger powder, onion powder, and black pepper in a medium bowl. Combine the water, fish sauce, and sesame oil in a small bowl. Pour the water into the flour mixture and whisk until smooth. The batter should be thin.
- Add the scallops, tilapia, tuna, serrano pepper, scallions, red bell pepper, and sesame seeds. Mix together with a spatula until it just comes together. Let rest, at room temperature, for 15 minutes.
- Heat a medium nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of canola oil and allow to heat up. Take a large spoonful of the mixture and place into the pan, forming a 4 to 5 inch pancake. Cook until the bottom has turned golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown, another 2 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate to drain any excess oil. Serve immediately.
