That was great taste!! Sadly, can't eat it all, it was too much!!(笑)frednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101980281470446262.post-76657305588490427532011-07-16T07:16:43.750+09:002011-07-16T07:16:43.750+09:00Sissi: Japanese cuisine tends to remove excess fa...Sissi: Japanese cuisine tends to remove excess fat from fatty ingredients. Yakitori (skewered and grilled chicken) and unagi no kabayaki (grilled eel) are typical examples.<br /><br />I first made sauce from 75 ml vinegar, 75 ml soy sauce, and 25 ml sugar for the first batch of deep-fried aji, but because of the large amount of onion, green pepper, and kagura nanban, the sauce wasn't enough, so I added 25 ml vinegar, 25 ml soy sauce, and some sugar. For the next batch, I made sauce from 90 ml vinegar, 90 ml soy sauce, and 30 ml sugar, and I transferred some of the vegetables from the first container to the second. I hadn't expected that only eight rather small aji would yield so much aji no nanban zuke.<br /><br />As you may know, it is important to marinate the aji in the sauce immediately after deep-frying it, so that the vegetables are "cooked" from the heat.<br /><br />I'm looking forward to seeing your version of aji no nanban zuke!Hiroyukihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07075672590298671343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101980281470446262.post-22373971457623863412011-07-16T00:16:26.776+09:002011-07-16T00:16:26.776+09:00Hiroyuki, I am happy to see you share my chicken b...Hiroyuki, I am happy to see you share my chicken breast preference :-) <br />Your nanban zuke looks much better than mine... Maybe I'll make another one and make new photos before I post it... I am glad to see that your marinade doesn't cover the whole fish. I have made my nanban zuke according to Shizuo Tsuji's recipe (like you suggested) and was worried it wouldn't marinate properly because there was so little liquid. Finally it was very good and I see I had more or less as much marinade as you.Sissihttp://www.withaglass.comnoreply@blogger.com
