Ingredients

5 servings
  1. 700 gramsTaro root (satoimo), unpeeled
  2. 1/2 bunchJapanese leek (finely chopped)
  3. 1 canCanned tuna
  4. 2 tspMiso
  5. 1 tspDashi stock granules
  6. 2 1/2 tbsp★ Flour (cake flour)
  7. 3 tbspWater
  8. 1Panko (for dredging)

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Remove dirt completely from the taro roots and boil in their skins. Remove from the heat and drain when the roots can be pierced through easily with a bamboo skewer.

  2. 2

    Remove the skins while the roots are still hot, then mash.

  3. 3

    Add the Japanese leek, well-drained tuna, miso and dashi.

  4. 4

    Mix well. (It takes some effort to blend the miso into the sticky taro root!)

  5. 5

    Roll the paste into balls about 4 cm in diameter. To prevent sticking, dampen your hands a bit before rolling.

  6. 6

    Mix the ★ ingredients together to make a flour-water paste. Coat the balls with the paste, then with panko.

  7. 7

    Deep-fry in oil heated to about 180 ℃ until golden brown.
