Japanese Recipe -63

Abura Age No Tatsuta Age

Tatsuta Age refers to the food that the ingredient is seasoned with Japanese seasonings such as soy sauce and Mirin, dredged in Katakuri ko, then deep-fried.


 
 

Ingredients (Serve 2)

  • 2 slices Abura Age
  • 3 tablespoons Katakuri Ko
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Mirin
  • Frying oil
  • 1 tablespoon dried seaweed (Aonori)

 

Method

  1. Cut the Abura Age into 6 equal slices. Pour into a bowl and add the soy sauce and Mirin and rub into the Abura Age. Once it has absorbed the liquid, add the Katakuri Ko and rub this into the Abura Age.
  2. In a fry pan, add the frying oil to a depth of 5mm and on medium heat, add the Abura Age. Once both sides are lightly browned, remove from the heat and remove the excess oil from the surface.
  3. Serve topped with Aonori.

 

Abura Age

Abura Age is made by deep frying slices of Tofu twice, once at a lower heat then a second time at a higher heat. It is used in a variety of ways including as the outer layer for Inari-Zushi, in Miso soup or in Udon noodles where they are named Kitsune because legend has it that foxes (Kitsune) enjoy deep-fried Tofu.

 

Katakuri Ko

Katakuri Ko (potato starch) is used in Japanese cuisine as a binding agent. The advantage of using potato as a starch is due to it being a refined starch and thus has minimal protein or fat. This means that it is clear in appearance, has neutral taste, good clarity and a high binding strength.
