Number of servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 100g (3.5oz.) dried soy meat blocks
- 2 tbsp. Katakuriko (potato starch)
- Deep frying oil
- Lemon wedges if preferred
- 2 tbsp. soy sauce
- 2 tbsp. sake
- 1 tbsp. grated ginger
- 1 clove grated garlic
- 1 tsp. sesame oil
Directions:
- In a boiling water, cook dried soy meat blocks for 4 minutes. Or as directed on its package. Wash well (change water for a few times) to remove the bad smell, then drain well.
- Mix the seasonings in a bowl and marinate the soy meat for about 30 minutes. Overnight is okay, longer makes them tasty.
