Title: OT — chicken karaage
Post by: Peripatetic Phil on August 19, 2024, 09:45 PM

Whenever I eat chicken karaage in a Japanese restaurant, the taste and texture are superb.  Whenever I try to re-create it at home (e.g., this evening) the results are poor beyond belief.  Does anyone here cook chicken karaage, and if so, could they please share their recipe and technique ?

This lady's daughter, Nagi, runs an amazing website, Recipe Tin Eats. They do good food, well researched and developed over many hours of trials and testing.

Many thanks, Livo, I will give that version a try after collecting some potato starch from the hotel (last night I had only corn starch, so used that instead).   Lệ Khanh thinks that equal parts of soya sauce and mirin may over-dilute the soya, so I will also experiment with reducing the mirin content.  I was sufficiently depressed by last night's failure that I did not bother trying again tonight, and had a sausage sandwich instead !  Tomorrow we will eat real chicken karaage at 京寺 in Plymouth ...
