Kids do not generally love eating vegetables and I won’t blame you if you find it hard to encourage them to do so. As well, they are not fond of eating fish and seafood but mostly like fried chicken, fast food and junk food. But I guess they won’t mind if fish and vegetables come in the form of cakes. All it takes to do fish cake and/or spring rolls with ashitaba fillings are simple ingredients and simple steps. Here they are:
Fish Cake with Ashitaba Fillings
Ingredients:
Minced fish
Carrots
Ashitaba (Tomorrow Leaves)
Ginger (juice)
Sugar
Salt
Egg
Frying oil
Steps:
1. Shred two carrots and chop the ashitaba leaves.
2. Add salt, sugar and ginger juice and mix together with the raw egg.
3. With ingredients in steps 1-2, use your hands to form patties with the minced fish.
4. Fry the patties in medium heat.
Spring Rolls with Ashitaba Fillings
Ingredients:
Spring roll skin
Ashitaba (Tomorrow Leaves)
A can of tuna or red salmon
Frying oil
Steps:
1. Cut each tomorrow leaf to a length of 1-2cm and boil the leaves.
2. Transfer the tuna or red salmon from the can to the frying pan and mix the boiled ashitaba leaves.
3. When done, turn off the stove and make sure that the leaves and the fish are well mixed. Set aside in a bowl or plate.
4. Wrap the ashitaba and fish filling in the spring roll skin and fry in oil at medium temperature.
Wrap Up
You don’t necessarily need to follow these recipes to the letter.
These cakes and spring rolls are best eaten fresh out of the oil while they’re still hot
and juicy. You can serve them either with or without rice. To make the presentation more vibrant, accompany it with sweet
chili sauce, chopped cucumber, fresh coriander and a squeeze of lime
juice. Another option is to enjoy it with garlic
mayonnaise, cheese or whatever condiment you desire. Delicious!

wwo nice to know that you can make a lot of recipes using this! would love to try both fish cake and spring rolls! xx
Ashitaba and lettuce are like cousins. What you can do is simply swap out the lettuce in any recipe you know and you got ashitaba all covered for the meal. 🙂 Enjoy!
I want to know how that would taste! 🙂
Which one? The spring roll or the fish cake ashitaba? 🙂 Anyway, they are both delicious.
Lumpia (fish roll) done with Ashitaba fillings, that definitely suit my taste.
It's a good try. 🙂 If you're not fond of eating vegetables or any green leaves like ashitaba leaves, just fill your recipe with other ingredients to make it still hearty and full-flavored. So that at the end of the meal, you feel satisfied and content, not craving something else.
You can add ashitaba to any kind of smoothie…

It's nice that Ashitaba can also be an ingredient to a fish cake and spring rolls.
Yup, this is really nice. I imagine that one day, restaurants would also add ashitaba-inspired dishes to their menu. 🙂
It's like a veggie for daily consumption? it's great!
Yup! However, it's more expensive than our local vegetables because they are not grown easily with our tropical weather in the Philippines.
Nice way to sneak in ashitaba in our food. But I'm still curious about ashitaba.
Read more about it and your interest and curio will grow more. 🙂
