Ingredients
Main Ingredients (2 servings)
- Chikuwa 4 pieces
- Shiso leaves (to taste)
- Sansho pepper (to taste)
- Warm rice (as much as you like)
Seasonings
- [A] Soy Sauce 1 tbsp
- [A] Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine) 1 tbsp
- [A] Cooking Sake (Rice Wine) 1/2 tbsp
- [A] Sugar 1/2 tbsp
Steps
- Make a single lengthwise cut down the center of the 4 Chikuwa pieces.
- Make three deep cuts on each side of the opened Chikuwa.
- Heat Vegetable Oil in a frying pan and sear the cut Chikuwa, starting with the cut side.
- Sear the Chikuwa well on both sides until nicely browned and fragrant. (The Secret!) Frying until super crispy will give it an eel-like texture.
- Turn off the heat and in a separate bowl, mix together [A] Soy Sauce 1 tbsp, Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine) 1 tbsp, Cooking Sake (Rice Wine) 1/2 tbsp, and Sugar 1/2 tbsp.
- Add the mixed seasoning to the seared Chikuwa and cook, coating them evenly.
- Serve warm rice (as much as you like) in a bowl, optionally line with Shiso leaves (to taste), and top with the cooked Chikuwa.
- Finish by sprinkling Sansho pepper (to taste).
