Others suggest a rolling pin.<br />One person suggests wrapping a sheet of abura age in a paper towel and pressing it with your palms evenly.<br />http://cookpad.com/recipe/865782<br />(Japanese only).<br />I can't say whether these tricks are effective or not because I have never tried any of them.<br /><br />Note that kinchaku (purse) and takara bukuro (treasure bag) are the names for this dish, which uses abura age (deep-fried bean curd) as a bag or pouch.Hiroyukihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07075672590298671343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101980281470446262.post-9407127373534501692011-02-10T06:07:59.946+09:002011-02-10T06:07:59.946+09:00Dear Hiroyuki-san,

Maybe my asia market doesn't sell the best tresure bags known in this universe but there is no other product available.Kikinoreply@blogger.com
