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.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to experience a unique and delicious twist by enjoying dried anchovy and egg dishes in one bite.
  • People looking for a thick, moist, and delicate pancake made without wheat flour or tempura batter, relying solely on eggs.
  • Fans of spicy shishito peppers paired with savory anchovies seeking a rich, flavorful drinking snack.
