【Materials】 (For 2 people)

【How to make】
①Cut the conger eel into bite-sized pieces,sprinkle with sake, and coat with potato starch.
②Remove the stems and seeds from the green and yellow bell peppers, cut them in half lengthwise, then cut them into slices about 8 mm wide.
③Add rice vinegar, cane sugar, water, and soy sauce to a pot and heat. Turn off the heat when the cane sugar has dissolved.
④Deep fry ① in oil heated to 180 degrees, then quickly deep fry the bell peppers.
⑤Pickle the fried bell peppers in ③ and mix well, then add chopped coriander as you like.
⑥Place the conger eel from ④ on a plate and place ⑤ on top.
【Point】
The use of two colors, green and yellow bell peppers, is a finishing touch that stimulates the appetite. The coriander is optional, but I recommend adding it as it adds an accent to the dish. You can also pickle the conger eel.
