Hello everyone~ This is Amanda Tastes
I'm going to make tempura today
It's same as fish cakes
When you visit Osaka
you can see a lot of fried fish cakes
when you want to have tempura
but that's not the fish cake that we usually enjoy
You can eat this kind of fish cakes by itself
or you can put them in oden
And in my next video, I'll make oden out of this
Today, I'm going to make fish cakes
I used frozen cod
Cut it into smaller pieces
when it is about half way defrosted
You don't have to use cods
But you have to remove all the fish bones
Grind gingers and garlics
Extract egg yolk
I put a little bit of shrimp in here
Please put the meat of refrigerated shrimp
into a mixer
Please add egg whites, ginger, garlic, rice wine,
sugar, salt, and pepper in it
Grind it until it gets thick
You don't have to grind it into fine texture
There can be some chunks
The fish and the shrimp cannot be completely defrosted
Please be careful
The texture gets better in the low temperature
Spread it and add some flour
Add potato starch too
Mix it with chopsticks
You can feel that the dough gets thicker and thicker while you're whipping
Since I added shrimp
it's much softer than the ones only with cod
and the texture will get better
Please put it in the piping bag
We'll use it later
This is the first step
Fry the fish dough
I used professional frying pot
It's in my Taobao shop and it's easy to use
It has thermometer on it so it's easy to fry
Add oil and cut the forcing bag
when it reaches 160 degrees
and squeeze out the dough
It looks like this when you cut it
with chopsticks
It's easy to do
If you had this kind of tempura in Taiwan
I'm sure they made it like this
The temperature has to be somewhere between 160 to 170 degrees
When it turns gold, put it out from the oil
It's easy to use because there is a tool for frying in the pan
You can add 50g of unripe beans
or you can add 50g of burdocks or carrots
Julienne the carrot
and burdocks
Please cut the surface of the burdock
because it's hard
And please use peeler
You don't have to use the center of the burdock
I'll make another one
I'll put carrot and burdock
and I'll stir it
Spread some oil on the dish
and put some oil and water
on your hand
It prevents the dough
from sticking on your hand
Grab a generous amount of it,
make it into a cookie shape
and fry it
The temperature is 160 as well
When it turns gold
put it out from the oil
Shall we fry unripe beans too?
Mix it with fresh unripe beans
and use oil and water as we did
Make it into a circular shape
and fry it over 160 degrees
You can fry it until it gets gold
I like to put various vegetables in here
You can taste natural sweetness when you put vegetables
and vegetables go great with freshly cooked tempura
When you want to make it at home
you can make a lot of it
If you can't finish this, you can freeze it in the freezer
It's easy to keep
Homemade tempura
It will taste fresh
since there are a lot of fish meat in it
It's completely different from the ones that we buy from the market
