Recently I have been cooking this dish repeatedly. The mixture of Prawns and Onion is supposed to be deep-fried, but I am reluctant to use a lot of oil since the accident I burnt my face with hot oil. I cook it with a generous amount of oil using a frying pan. It’s safe and easy. It seems my husband loves this rice bowl very much as he always says ‘Oishii’ that means ‘Delicious’ in Japanese.

Steps

15 minutes

1

To make Sauce, place Water, Dashi Powder, Soy Sauce, Mirin and Sugar into a small saucepan and bring to the boil. Boil for 1 minute, remove from heat, and set aside.
2

Cut Prawns into smaller pieces if large. Place the Prawns and sliced Onion (and Carrot) in a mixing bowl. Sprinkle with Self-Raising Flour (OR Plain Flour) and Salt, and mix to coat all pieces with the Flour. Add Egg and Water, and mix to combine.
3

The batter should be thick and it works like a glue. The ingredients are just sticking together. Add extra Flour if required. Divide the mixture into 2 portions.
4

Heat a generous amount of Oil in a small frying pan over medium low heat, form a round like pancake with a portion, and cook until both sides are nicely browned and cooked through. Use a plate to flip it over. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
5

*Note: You can use a larger frying pan and cook 2 portions at the same time.
6

Half fill a bowl with warm Cooked Rice and cover it with the pancake. Drizzle the sauce over, top with Spring Onion, and enjoy.
