I should have added green peppers to make it more appetizing! (They were rather expensive that day.)
もっと美味しく見えるようにピーマンを足せばよかったです(当日、ピーマンは高かったので)。
No pineapple but buta dango. Interesting how recipes change from country to country. I also like to add bell peppers for their colour (lucky they are not expensive here). But it looks good as it is.
ReplyDeleteKiki: Yes, the recipe differs from person to person, too.
ReplyDeleteThis particular recipe is a modification of the one that calls for mochi (rice cakes), which are cut into four equal parts, soaked in water, coated with potato starch, and then pan-fried.

I wonder if this link works fine.
Asahi TV-recipe: I never had dried mochi. I only know these small rice cakes/crackers for snacks or home made fresh soft chewy mochi. I wonder about the texture.
ReplyDeleteThey used green and what seems to be red bell peppers too (I could only translate peppers ピーマン) and recommended some Ketchup for children as you once told me before.
Kiki: Glad that you seemed to have managed to reach the recipe.
ReplyDeleteYes, a 赤ピーマン red pepper is used togeher with green peppers.
This recipe does not call for ketchup, and that's one of the reasons why I wanted to try it.
Dried mochi? Mochi is not dried; it simply gets hard when cool. When reheated, mochi turns soft again.
It looks excellent and the carrot makes the dish very colourful (I see you have cut it into the typically Japanese wedges, I have forgotten the name...or maybe I'm wrong...).
ReplyDeleteSissi: Yes, rangiri 乱切り. Make one diagonal cut, turn the ingredient so that the cut end faces up (or down), make another cut, turn it again.
ReplyDeleteThank you for reminding me the name and the method. It looks very beautiful.
