Ingredients
Main Ingredients (2 servings)
- Gizzards 270g
- Garlic 5g
- Potato Starch 4 tbsp
- Pea Shoots 70g
- Chikuwa (fish cakes) 3 pcs
- Lemon Wedges
Seasonings
- [A] Chicken Stock Granules 1½ tsp
- [A] Oyster Sauce 1 tsp
- [A] Salt ¼ tsp
- [A] Sake 1 tsp
- Oil (just under 1cm deep in the pan)
- Seasoned Salt (Ajishio)
- Black Pepper
- [B] Mayonnaise 1½ tbsp
- [B] Japanese Mustard (Karashi) 6-7cm from tube
- [B] Kore! Uma!! Tsuyu 1½ tsp
- [B] Shichimi Togarashi to taste
Steps
- First, we'll make the Pea Shoot and Chikuwa with Karashi Mayo. Cut off the roots of 70g pea shoots and cut them into easy-to-eat lengths.
- Place the cut pea shoots in a microwave-safe dish, cover with plastic wrap, and microwave for 1 minute 20 seconds.
- Cut 3 chikuwa (fish cakes) in half, then slice them thinly diagonally.
- In a bowl, add 1½ tbsp mayonnaise, Japanese mustard (Karashi) 6-7cm from tube, and 1½ tsp Kore! Uma!! Tsuyu, then mix well.
- Add the microwaved pea shoots and thinly sliced chikuwa to the bowl from Step 4, and mix everything well.
- Finally, sprinkle with shichimi togarashi to taste to add color.
- Next, we'll make the Infinite Crunchy Gizzards. Score the silver skin of 270g gizzards in a criss-cross pattern with a knife.
- Cut the scored gizzards in half. [Chef's Tip!] Scoring the silver skin allows the flavors to penetrate more easily and improves the texture. Make sure not to cut all the way through, keeping them connected.
- Peel 5g garlic and grate or finely mince it.
- In a bowl, combine the cut gizzards, grated garlic, 1½ tsp chicken stock granules, 1 tsp oyster sauce, ¼ tsp salt, and 1 tsp sake, then massage well by hand.
- Add 4 tbsp potato starch to the bowl from Step 10 and mix thoroughly to coat the gizzards completely. [Chef's Tip!] Thoroughly coating with potato starch creates a crispy outer layer.
- In a small frying pan, add oil (just under 1cm deep in the pan) and heat over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the gizzards one by one and deep-fry in two batches over medium heat.
- Once the gizzards are cooked through and the coating is crispy, remove them from the oil, being careful not to overcook.
- Arrange the fried gizzards on a plate, garnish with lemon wedges, and sprinkle with seasoned salt (Ajishio).
- Sprinkle with black pepper to taste, and it's done.
