【Materials】 (For 2 people)
Kujo green onion…2 stalks (100 grams)
Burdock…½ stalk
Potato starch (for sprinkling on vegetables)…3 tablespoons
Rice flour…80 grams
Cold water…100cc (adjust as needed)
Salt…A Pinch
Frying oil…Appropriate amount
【How to make】
① Cut the Kujo leek diagonally.
② Cut the burdock into thin strips and rinse in water to remove the bitterness. Wipe off the water thoroughly with kitchen paper.
③ Put ① and ② in a bowl and sprinkle with potato starch.
④ In another bowl, add rice flour, cold water, and salt and mix lightly.
⑤ Spoon ④ onto a baking sheet and spread it out.
⑥ Deep fry ⑤ in 170℃ oil for 1-2 minutes on each side until crispy, then remove from the oil.
⑦ Place on a plate, sprinkle lightly with salt, and garnish with lemon if desired.
【Points】
This kakiage brings out the sweetness of the Kujo leek and the savory flavor of the burdock. The use of potato starch and rice flour gives it a light texture.
