How to Make Juicy and Crunchy Karaage

When I had a Japanese restaurant a few years ago Karaage was one of our most popular dishes. We did a Karaage Bento Box for lunch and take away. Those dining in nearly always had Karaage on their tables.
Karaage should be nice and crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Some people make Karaage using a batter mix but I don’t like it that way so I just use corn starch to give a thinner coating. When you make Karaage you need to remove the excess moisture so the coating doesn’t get too thick. This will also make sure your Karaage will come out nice and crunchy when you fry it. When marinating the chicken you will use soy sauce and mirin but you don’t need too really soak it. The salt will help with the flavour. You only need to leave it for 30mins-2 hours.
You can use Karaage in other dishes like Japanese curry, in a hotdog roll, or with buffalo hot sauce etc. Western people seem to love Kaarge with Japanese mayo but I’m not sure why.
Karaage is a popular domestic dish and Japanese people make it at home often. We love Karaage so much and like ramen everyone has their own way to make it and fuss over whose is best. Hopefully you can find your style! I will post a different Karaage recipe in the future so keep an eye on my YouTube channel and website.

How to Make Karaage

Servings 2-3 people | Prep Time 30mins to 2 hours | Cooking Time 20mins

Ingredients

Chicken Tight or Breast

800g

Ginger

1 tsp

Garlic

1 tsp

Mirin

1 Tbsp

Soy sauce

1 Tbsp

Salt

1.5-2 tsp

Corn starch

3-4 Tbsp

Oil

For deep fry

Method

  1. Remove the excess moisture by dabbing it with paper towel before cutting the chicken.
  2. Cut the chicken in to bite sized pieces and put them on a tray.
  3. Dab the chicken again to remove any remaining excess moisture.
  4. Sprinkle the salt on to the chicken.
  5. Add the ginger, garlic, Mirin, and Soy sauce and rub it in to the chicken.
  6. Cover the marinated chicken with plastic and leave it for 30mins-2 hours in your fridge.
  7. Pour oil into a pot for deep frying. (Oil needs to be at least 3cm deep and enough to cover your chicken). If you have a deep fryer that’s even better.
  8. Add corn starch into a bowl and take the marinated chicken from your fridge.
  9. Heat the oil with a medium-high heat until it reaches 160℃.
  10. Cover the cut chicken with corn starch and gently put it into the hot oil.
  11. Cook the chicken until an inside temp of 60℃ is reached. If the surface colour is too dark the oil is too hot so reduce the heat to mid.
  12. Place the Karaage on a tray with kitchen paper or new paper to soak up excess oil.
  13. Serve on a plate.

Japanese Homemade FURIKAKE ツナ缶を使った自家製ふりかけ

FURIKAKE is a dry Japanese seasoning that is enjoyed on hot rice. There are a few different varieties you can buy using different ingredients like vegetables, egg, fish, and meats. Using this recipe with you can make Japanese style FURIKAKE using tinned tuna and a few Japanese ingredients.
When I was at an Asian shop a lady was looking for Japanese FURIKAKE and asked about what was in it. The got me thinking about making a recipe that is cheap, easy, and tasty using simple ingredients you can easily obtain.
For this recipe don’t use the tuna in oil varieties. You don’t want your FRIKAKE to be oily so use tuna in water. It makes prepping the tuna easier.
In my YouTube video I toast the nori-sheets to make them nice and crispy and also bring out the beautiful smell and flavour. Toasting the sesame does the same thing and adds to the final product.
you can use FURIKAKE on other dishes not just on rice. It makes a great topping for pasta, salad, Udon with soup, and ramen etc.
Sometimes when I’m feeling lazy I just use FURIKAKE on my breakky or lunch.

オーストラリアのスーパーで手に入るもので自家製ふりかけを作ろうと、ツナ缶を手にしてこれなら簡単にできると思いレシピを作りました。日本なら乾燥エビや小魚が手に入りますが、こちらでは誰も使わないからな〜。こっちのスーパーでふりかけは手にはいりますが、ちょっと高いのよね〜。日本では98円ぐらいで買えるのを知っているから買いたくない!!
オーストラリ人にふりかけ人気が出てきています。日本に行って、知ってくるのでしょうね〜。水煮のツナ缶を使うことで処理が簡単ですし、ゴマを煎ることで香ばしい味のふりかけです。

RAMEN-THE EASY WAY!!

Ramen is so popular in Japan. In Tokyo you find Ramen Towns, lots of shops in one small area. Japanese people like to talk about ramen and each person has their own favourites, much like football. Each ramen shop has a different style and different taste etc. Also, if you go to the supermarkets you find sooo many cup noodles. Cheap and easy to cook so busy people and single people eat them a lot.
Sometimes people just take the time and make ramen at home so that’s why I posted this recipe using Coles Ramen broth and Dry Ramen noodle from Supermarket or Asian shop.
It’s good winter food especially on a rainy day. Hearty and warms you up nicely. This recipe is very easy to make at home the only time-consuming part is the Chashu which takes 2-3 hours for the pork to be soft, juicy, and tasty. Once you’ve cooked the Chashu the rest is so easy.
I will post a Ramen Stock from scratch recipe one day but this one is a request from friend, so I quickly made this recipe and video as it’s winter and her family is very busy with the ski season.
Leftover Chashu can be used for other things like on a bowl of rice or even on a sandwich. Don’t throw out the Chashu sauce as you can use it for stir frying veggies, making fried rice, or a glaze for panfrying chicken. Keep it in a jar it in your fridge.

Healthy Snack, Mint Slice (V,GF,DF)  グルテンフリー,ヴィーガン, チョコミント

I have a lot of mint growing at home so I wanted to make a dairy free mint slice! This recipe is good for Vegans, it’s dairy free, gluten free and tastes sooooo good. It is quite rich so make sure you don’t eat too much at once, hahaha. Good luck with that. It’s great for settling on the couch with good coffee and movies after dinner!
This recipe has 3 steps, making the base, the mint base layer, and the chocolate layer. It takes time to make but it’s healthy and uses ingredients that are good for you.
Use virgin coconut oil and real maple syrup not maple flavoured syrup. It does use peanut butter and cashews so please be carefully if you, your friends or family have nut allergies.
In summer, don’t leave this mint slice out for the fridge for long because it will melt. If you want to take it to your friends or workplace etc use a cooler box with ice packs please.

ミントのフレッシュな香りが口の中に広がるミントスライス。オーストラリアでは色々なところで見られます。スーパー、カフェやベイカーなどで。主人もカフェでコーヒーと一緒によく頼んでいます。
これから日本は夏、さっぱりとミントを入れた冷えた飲み物と一緒にこのスライスをどうぞ。ただし、ココナッツオイル を使用しているのでとても溶けやすいので、スライスを切った後はすぐに冷蔵庫保管して下さい。
このレシピは3ステップになります。ベースを作り、ミントレイヤー、チョコレートレイヤーを作る過程になります。ちょっと時間はかかりますが、味は濃厚チョコレートとミントの爽やかさが楽しめます。
ヴィーガン、グルテンフリー、デイリーフリーの方たちにも喜ばれます。
ただしピーナッツバターを使用していますので、ナッツアレルギーのある方達は気をつけて下さい。
このレシピはヴァージンココナッツオイル、カカオパウダー(ココアパウダーではありません)、ピーナッツバターはピーナッツだけの原料、メープルシロップ はカナダ産を使用しています。

Easy “KATSU-CURRY” Japanese Curry with Pork Cutlet

Katsu-Curry” Japanese curry and rice with crumbled pork

OK! This recipe is using Japanese curry roux. In Japan there are so many curry roux products. I don’t know how many there are, but tons I think!! In Australia you can buy Japanese curry roux anywhere now as it is getting popular. I saw frozen Katsu-Curry at the supermarket. It’s maybe good for single person or a quick dinner, but the thing is, if you make curry sauce with Japanese curry roux, you can freeze it. When I have leftover curry sauce I portion it up and freeze them. I sometimes give my Japanese curry lover friend curry sauce, frozen rice, and frozen sausages, so he can heat up the sauce and the rice and just cook sausages in a frypan.

When I was kid, my mother used to make Japanese curry for Sunday dinner. She called it lazy dinner and always put a lot of potatoes in it but I wasn’t a big fan potatoes in curry. I like a runny, soupy, curry sauce but I miss my mother’s curry 😢.

Why turn heat off before putting the curry roux in? This is because if put the roux in with the heat on the roux won’t melt as well. This sounds weird but if the heat is on it will cook the roux rather than melt it and you get LUMPS!!!

This recipe uses pork strips but you can use any meat you like but I wouldn’t recommend lamb as it doesn’t go as well with Japanese curry as it does with Indian or Middle Eastern.

If you don’t eat pork you can use chicken fillet instead, but it won’t be Tonkatsu Curry, it’ll be Chicken Katsu Curry.

Tinned diced tomatoes have water in the can so only add extra water to make up the amount needed on the roux box. If your roux box says 750ml and your tinned tomatoes are 400g add 350ml of water.

When prepping Tonkatsu for crumbing just dusting your palms with flour is enough. If you use too much flour it won’t stick to the meat properly and your crumbs will fall off.

I’ll show you how to cook rice, the Japanese way, in another video.

  11. Pour the water (see your curry roux box, mine said water 750ml so I add 350ml of water) and stir well 750ml= 400ml tinned diced tomatoes + water 350ml
  12. Reduce heat to low and cook until the vegetables are soft.
  13. Once the vegetables are soft turn heat off.
  14. Add the curry roux and stir until the roux melts.
  15. Once melted turn heat on back to low and heat until curry thickens then turn heat off.

(Prep for Tonkatsu)

  1. Place pork sirloin fillet on chopping board. Remember to be careful of cross contamination and use separate chopping boards for meat, fish, chicken, and vegies.
  2. Stab the fillet with a fork multiple times. Great stress relief 😤
  3. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Crack egg into a bowl and lightly beat the egg.
  5. Add the panko into another bowl.
  6. Dust your palm with flour. Using your hands lightly coat the fillet. Not too much or the crumbs won’t stick. Check out my YouTube video how to make Japanese curry to see it done.
  7. Dip the fillet into the egg making sure to coat it evenly then place the meat in the panko crumbs. Turn the meat over and cover completely.
  8. Add oil into a pot big enough to fry the fillets.
  9. Heat up the oil to 160℃. If you have thermometer, it will be very useful.
  10. Once the oil is 160℃, carefully place the fillets into the oil.
  11. Deep fry the fillet until cooked though. I always check for an inside temperature of 60℃ with a thermometer.
  12. Take the fillets out from the oil and place on a tray with lined with kitchen paper or newspaper to absorb excess oil.
  13. Cut the Tonkatsu.
  14. Serve on a bed of cooked rice, top with curry, then “ITADAKIMASU” (Japanese say this before eating and it means “thanks for the feast”).

自家製チリソース Homemade Chilli Sauce

Hot sauces are very popular and you can buy so many different styles and heat levels but some are quite expensive. I love hot sauce and they are easy to make so I wanted to post one of my favourite recipes. I use it a lot at home and its very cheap to make with ingredients that can be found anywhere. For this recipe I use Red Hot chillies but you can use what ever you like depending on how hot you can handle.
This hot sauce is a mid-level for someone who likes hot sauce and is more about flavour than being the hottest 🤔.
When cutting chillies always use gloves and don’t touch sensitive areas like your eyes. Be sure to sterilise your jars before use. How to do this in both my Homemade Hot Sauce and Rhubarb and Raspberry Jam videos.

急にバッファローチキンが食べたくなり、辛くて美味しいチリソースを作ることを決意しました。チリソース大好きで、色々と市販を買って試したりするのですけど、たまにただ辛いだけっていうのがありますよね〜。マーケットに行ったらチリがすごく安かったので大量に買い込み、早速家に帰って作りました。チリソースは結構使いますので大量に作った方が安上がりですわ!作っている中、くしゃみが止まりませんでしたよ。何故かはわかりませんがチリのせいだと思います😢😢。

ABOUT GARLIC: I always have crushed garlic in my fridge. I buy a lot of garlic cloves and use my food processor to crush them. I then put it in a jar or airtight container. I’ll do a video on this soon.

ABOUT JARS: Sterilize you jars with hot water (How to do is my Homemade Hot Sauce and Rhubarb and Raspberry Jam videos).

Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 180℃.
  2. Wash all your vegetables.
  3. Place red capsicum on a tray and roast it for 20-25mins.
  4. Slice onion.
  5. Cut all chills approx. 1 cm long and put them into a bowl. (Wear gloves!)
  6. After 25 mins, put the roasted capsicum into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and allow it to cool. After it’s cooled peel the skin and remove the seeds (Please don’t wash the capsicum with water when remove seeds because you will lose beautiful flavor).
  7. Add the oil into a pot over a medium heat. When the oil is hot add onion and stir.
  8. Once the onion softens add the garlic the pot and continue to stir until mixed.
  9. Add the chillies to the pot and stir.
  10. Add the roasted capsicum to the pot and stir.
  11. Add the rice vinegar to the pot and reduce heat to low.
  12. Add maple syrup and salt to the pot and continue stirring until the chillies are soft.
  13. Remove the pot from the heat and let it cool down.
  14. Add the cooked ingredients into your mixer and blend until smooth.
  15. Pour the sauce into jars. Once cooled down you can put on the lids and put them in to your fridge. Refrigerated, you can keep hot chilli sauce for about 2 months.
