COMMENT

This time, we learned about "agemono" from Master Shoichi Maeda (Okunitama Shrine Wedding Hall). We will be focusing on "Oharakiage".

The name comes from the fact that the materials were bundled together like firewood.

The name comes from the fact that the materials were bundled together like firewood.

  1. The name of the dish, "Oharaki," refers to a dish in which ingredients are cut into thin clappers or 1,600 pieces, lined up and tied with seaweed or dried gourd to resemble firewood, and is named after the black wood firewood produced in Ohara, Kyoto. As it resembles firewood, it is a dish that is often made in autumn and winter, and although this time it is fried, it can also be used for cooking or as a vinegared dish.

  3. The most important thing when deep frying is the temperature of the oil. If the temperature is low, the food will be oily, and if it is too high, it will burn. It is often said that 170°C is good for deep frying, but this is only a guideline for frying tempura well. Of course, the optimum temperature will differ depending on the ingredients and the amount of food you are frying. If you are frying about three items at a time, it is okay to use a slightly lukewarm oil, but if you are frying 10 items at once, the temperature of the oil will drop when the ingredients are added, so you will need to set the oil temperature a little higher to begin with.
