Ingredients
Main Ingredients (2-3 servings)
- Aburaage (Rectangular) 2 pieces
- Spinach 1 bunch (200g)
- Imitation Crab Sticks 2 sticks
Seasonings
- [A] Water 100ml
- [A] Soy Sauce 1 tbsp
- [A] Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine) 1 tbsp
- [A] Sugar 2 tsp
- [A] Dashi Powder (Granules) 1/2 tsp
Steps
- Boil plenty of water in a deep frying pan or pot, add Aburaage (Rectangular) 2 pieces to remove excess oil, and then take them out.
- In the same pot, boil the stems of Spinach 1 bunch (200g) for 30 seconds, then add the leaves and boil for another 30 seconds. After boiling for a total of 1 minute, transfer to cold water and let cool.
- Once cooled, gather half of the spinach into bunches, grip them, and squeeze out excess water firmly.
- Once the aburaage has cooled, squeeze out any excess water, and roll a chopstick over it to make it easier to open. Make a cut on one side, leaving one edge intact, and open it up.
- Cut off the root end (about 1cm) of the spinach and cut the spinach in half.
- Place the opened aburaage on a flat surface with the shorter edges facing you. Place half of the spinach (1/4 of the bunch) on the side closest to you, and place the Imitation Crab Sticks 2 sticks in the center. Cover the imitation crab sticks with the remaining spinach.
- Lift the front edge of the aburaage and roll it up, securing the seam with a toothpick.
- In a frying pan, combine Water 100ml, Soy Sauce 1 tbsp, Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine) 1 tbsp, Sugar 2 tsp, and Dashi Powder (Granules) 1/2 tsp. Mix well.
- Place the aburaage-wrapped spinach seam-side down in the frying pan and bring to a boil.
- Simmer over medium-low heat for 6 minutes.
- Flip the wraps halfway through the cooking time (after 3 minutes).
- Once cooking is complete, remove from the pan and let cool.
- After cooling, remove the toothpicks, cut into bite-sized pieces, and arrange on a plate.
