Hello everyone, I'm MASA.
Today I'd like to teach you how to make a tasty burger.
It's called
[Japanese] Ebi Katsu Baga
Juicy & Crispy Ebi Katsu Burger
In Japan, we have many types of burgers.
The most commonly seen is made by ground pork.
This time, I'd like to make a crispy & delicious burger made by prawns.
It's really easy.
OK, let's begin.
[Preparation of Burger sauce] (1/4 Onion)
(Cut into small dices)
(1/4 tsp of salt)
(Stir them well)
(Soak for 10 minutes)
(Water comes out from the onions)
(Put onto a kitchen cloth)
(Squeeze out excess water~to remove onion's smell)
(1 Boiled egg)
(Mash it with a masher)
[Cooking Tips] You may also break an egg through a sieve! ^^b
(3 tbsp of mayonnaise)
(1 tbsp of ketchup)
(2 tsp of tonkatsu sauce)
(1/4 tsp of chili powder)
[Cooking Tips] This sauce also goes with chicken fillet or fish fillet~!
(Peeled prawn~200 g)
(Take out about 6 prawns first)
(Cut into small pieces)
[Cooking Tips] The texture is better with some small pieces of prawns.
(Puree the rest of the prawns with a knife)
[Cooking Tips] You may also use a mortar and a pestle or a mixer!
(1/4 tsp of salt)
(Mix them well)
(1 tbsp of potato starch)
(1 egg)
(Beat evenly)
(Add about 1 tbsp of egg liquid into prawn puree) [We'll use the rest of the egg liquid later]
(Mix them well)
(Coat some oil on the stainless steel board to prevent the prawn puree gets too sticky)
(Coat your hands with oil as well)
(Divide into two pieces)
(Take one piece of prawn puree)
(Shape it into a patty)
(Shape the other one the same way)
(Pour the rest of the egg liquid into the plate)
(Evenly coat with bread flour)
(Pat off the excess flour)
(Coat with egg liquid)
(Coat with breadcrumbs)
(Process the other piece the same way)
This time I use prawns to make ebi katsu.
If you want to try a different flavor
[Cooking Tips] you can use squid. Take a small portion, cut into small pieces & puree the rest as we did for prawns.
[Cooking Tips] You can prepare many ebi katsu (after coating with breadcrumbs) at a time and preserve them in a freezer. (for 3 weeks)
[Cooking Tips] When you want to cook it, defrost it in a fidge before you deep fry it.
[Cooking Tips] Or you deep fry it slowly under frozen status with low-temperature oil (160°C).
[How to deal with the used coating material?]
[Cooking Tips] The flours have been touched by raw ingredients, do not pour back to the original package.
[Cooking Tips] It's better to preserve them in separate zip bags, put into a fridge, and use them quickly.
(Coat some oil)
(Put to medium heat)
(Rest of the egg liquid)
(Fry a thin sheet of egg)
[Cooking Tips] The fried egg sheet can be used again in many dishes.
[Cooking Tips] Slice into thin stripes & put into a pot of soup OR cut into dices & sprinkle on a plate of salad.
[Cooking Tips] Or you can simply add into the burger sauce. ^^b
[Cooking Tips] Make sure the egg sheet is cooled down before adding into the sauce!
(Pour in about 1.5 cm deep of oil)
(Put to medium heat)
[Cooking Tips] Toss in some breadcrumbs. When they starts to sizzle, you may begin deep-frying.
(Deep-fry until it turns light golden brown underneath)
(Flip over)
(Keep frying until the other side turns light golden brown as well)
(Flip over again)
(Put to low heat)
(Keep frying for about 1 minute)
(Flip over again)
(Keep frying for another 1 minute)
(Turn off the heat)
[How to deal with used cooking oil?] (Use a sieve to filter the breadcrumbs away.)
(Reuse the filtered oil when stir-frying dishes)
(2 Burger buns)
(Slice into half)
[Cooking Tips] A croissant or a toast bread will also do.
(Some unsalted butter)
(Put to medium heat)
(Melt the butter)
(Put to low heat)
(Pan-fry the buns until golden brown)
(Half of the bun)
(Place some lettuce)
(Fried ebi katsu)
(Burger sauce)
(The other half of bun)
OK, here is a plate of delicious Ebi Katsu Burger.
Wow, this burger is quite thick. (laugh)
Really thick.

(Enjoying)
(Take another bite)
The prawns taste very crispy.
Upon taking a bite, you feel the softness of the burger bun first
Then you enjoy the crispy texture upon eating the ebi katsu in the middle.
The ebi katsu itself is quite juicy.
When preparing the ebi katsu, I added egg liquid.
[Cooking Tips] Adding egg liquid helps elevate the soft texture of ebi katsu.
[Cooking Tips] The burger sauce is under the same base of thousand island dressing, which is really tasty.
The sauce is a perfect match for the seafood burger we prepared.
Alright, the burger we teach today is quite easy to make.
I once introduced other types of burgers in my previous videos.
