Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • If you don't have a thermometer, drop a small piece of batter into the oil; when it floats to the surface within 5-10 seconds (around 160°C), you can safely add the meat for even cooking.
  • Rather than mincing the meat too finely, chop it coarsely to retain some texture for a better chew.
  • Resting after the first fry allows the residual heat to cook the inside gently, resulting in much crispier results during the second fry.

Recommended for

  • For those who want to make a unique beef dish or a sophisticated izakaya-style side dish at home.
  • For those curious about the chef's know-how on how to achieve a crispy batter without a thermometer and with no failures.
