Ingredients

Main Ingredients (5 sticks)

  • Chikuwa 5 sticks
  • Gobo (Burdock Root) to taste
  • Potato Starch to taste
  • Frying Oil for deep frying

Seasonings

  • [A] Soy Sauce 2 tsp
  • [A] Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine) 2 tsp
  • [A] Cooking Sake (Rice Wine) 2 tsp
  • [A] Chicken Consommé Granules 1/2 tsp
  • [A] Grated Ginger 1/2 tsp
  • [A] Grated Garlic 1/2 tsp

Steps

  1. Scrape the skin off the gobo using a spoon, then wash and pat it dry.
  2. Trim the ends of the gobo, then cut it into 4 pieces to match the length of the chikuwa.
  3. Place the cut gobo in a microwave-safe bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and microwave on 600W for 1 minute.
  4. Stuff the heated gobo into the 5 chikuwa sticks.
  5. In a bowl, mix together Soy Sauce 2 tsp, Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine) 2 tsp, Cooking Sake (Rice Wine) 2 tsp, Chicken Consommé Granules 1/2 tsp, Grated Ginger 1/2 tsp, and Grated Garlic 1/2 tsp.
  6. Dip the gobo-stuffed chikuwa from step 4 into the marinade from step 5, ensuring it's coated evenly, and let it marinate for about 5 minutes.
  7. Coat the marinated chikuwa with Potato Starch to taste.
  8. Heat Frying Oil to about 170°C (340°F). Roll the potato starch-coated chikuwa in the hot oil and fry for 1.5 to 2 minutes until crispy. (Key Tip!) Fry until the surface is golden and crisp.
  9. Transfer to a plate and serve. Enjoy!
