Cooking tips
- Always pre-toast dried anchovies in a dry pan before adding oil to fully evaporate moisture and eliminate fishy odor, ensuring a clean, nutty flavor throughout.
- Since this pancake uses only egg and a small amount of potato starch instead of flour or tempura batter, it can easily break apart—make sure the bottom is fully set and firm before attempting to flip.
- When slicing shishito peppers, press the knife against the front edge of the cutting board and push forward to cut smoothly and uniformly without exerting much force.
