Our theme for this week is frying.
We'll be using an electric griddle, a kitchen appliance commonly found in Japanese homes, to make two popular dishes: yakisoba fried noodles and ikayaki savory squid pancakes, a local favorite from Osaka. Rather than the usual yakisoba sauce, though, we'll be using Japanese-style seasonings for a delicious result that is the very essence of yakisoba. We'll also show you how to make perfectly chewy ikayaki at home without needing a special press. For dessert, we'll be preparing a unique twist on shiratama dumplings, made with tofu.
