pickled ginger and carrot salad

  • 100g (3½ oz) store-bought pickled ginger, pickling liquid reserved
  • 3 carrots, peeled and shredded using 
  • a julienne or vegetable peeler

  1. Place the eggwhites, flour, miso paste and ginger in a large bowl and whisk to combine. Add the kale, cabbage and onion and mix to combine. Allow to stand for 5 minutes.

TIPS + TRICKS 
+ The eggwhite in these pancakes is a great protein hit, but if you want to add something extra, feel free.Try topping each plate with a few very thin slices of rare-roasted beef, shredded cooked chicken, some crispy fried tofu or some pan-fried firm white fish (such as cod)
