Kushikatsu (Deep Fried Skewers) from Shinsekai in Osaka
●I tried recreating the kushikatsu I had in Shinsekai in Osaka at home.
●The flavor of Japanese style Worcestershire sauce varies by brand. I used Bulldog brand this time.
●The most important point it to cut up the ingredients to be skewered small.
●Wide ingredients should be put on the tip of the skewers, and long ingredients should be cut thin so that each skewer is not overloaded.
●It's more work to fry small skewers, but they definitely taste better.
●Scoop out the panko in the frying oil diligently while you're cooking the skewers, or burnt panko will stick to the surface and the skewers won't look so pretty. Recipe by Cooking S Papa

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Make fine panko first. Put panko in a sieve, and push through the mesh to make them fine.
- 2
Next make the special sauce. Heat the red wine to evaporate the alcohol, add the bonito dashi stock, then honey and sugar and dissolve.
- 3
Put in the rest of the sauce ingredients and bring to a brief boil to complete the sauce. Let cool.
- 4
Next make the batter. Beat the egg, and combine with the milk and water. Add the flour to this and mix well. When there are no more lumps, add the grated yamaimo.
- 5
The skewers should be less than 15 cm long. The most important point is to cut the skewered ingredients small. This way they will fry up quickly with a crispy finish, and will look good too!
- 6
Cut beef round or chicken thigh meat into 2 cm cubes, and skewer 3 at a time. Squeeze the meat when they are on the skewer to even them out. Aim to put a bit less than 20 g of meat on a skewer.
- 7
Spread out the pork slices neatly, season lightly with salt and pepper and wrap around the skewers. Squeeze the meat around the skewer to even it out. Sliced pork skewers are tender, delicious and inexpensive!
- 8
Take the stem ends off the cherry tomatoes before skewering them. Poke several holes in them to prevent them from exploding when fried! Do this when the tomatoes are on the skewer.
- 9
Take the shells and tail of the shrimp and de-vein. Cut the tips off the tails. Straighten out the shrimp and skewer them through from the head.
- 10
Cut each chikuwa into 5 pieces and stuff with cheese. Skewer 2 pieces at a time.
- 11
Cut up the cabbage roughly and wash.
- 12
Dip the skewers in the batter. Shake off any excess batter, then coat the skewers in the panko. Once you have breaded about 10 skewers, start frying.
- 13
Fry them quickly in 170°C oil. The vegetable skewers take about a minute, and the meat skewers take about 2 minutes to cook.
- 14
When the skewers are golden brown and crispy, drain off the oil very well and put the skewers on a rack. When the oil has drained off completely transfer the skewers to a serving plate.
- 15
Scoop out any panko left in the oil after each batch is fried. The panko are very fine, so use a tea strainer to remove them until the oil is clean.
- 16
Dip the skewers completely in the special sauce. Dip the cut cabbage that's served with the skewers in the sauce too! Beer is the drink to serve with this!
- 17
Today I fried quail eggs, cherry tomatoes, lotus root, shrimp, chikuwa stuffed with cheese, beef round, thinly sliced pork, okra, eggplant, chicken thigh meat, and asparagus.
- 18
These are authentic kushikatsu from a famous restaurant in Shinsekai. They were amazingly yummy!
- 19
To boil quail eggs see. Don't buy precooked quail eggs.

● The doteyaki I had at a kushikasu (fried cutlet skewer) restaurant in the Osaka neighborhood of Shinsekai was delicious, so I tried recreating it.●The key is to parboil the meat properly to get rid of any gaminess.●Boil the meat starting from cold water.●I think the final sauce is best if it's not too thick, but just slightly unctuous.

Izakaya Style At Home! Bamboo Shoot and Shiso Leaf Tsukune Patty Skewers Izakaya Style At Home! Bamboo Shoot and Shiso Leaf Tsukune Patty Skewers
I love the tsukune patties served at izakaya (traditional Japanese gastropubs), so I wanted to try it at least once with bamboo shoots!The skewers cook faster and don't burn as easily if you mold the patties into flat shapes. There is a generous amount of sauce, so adjust to your preference. The mixture is a bit soft, but it turns out just right when cooked. For 5 large skewers. Recipe by Chiton -
Showa-Style Homemade Fried Meat Skewers Showa-Style Homemade Fried Meat Skewers
This is one of the main dishes that we eat in our house. I used to use diced pork intended for stews but at some point I switched to soft-textured, light-flavoured pork fillets. Serve with tonkatsu sauce and mustard.If you over-boil potatoes, they'll just crumble when you try to skewer them so make sure to transfer them to a colander precisely 1-2 minutes after boiling. If you cook the potatoes raw, it will take too long for the heat to penetrate to the center of the potato when frying and you'll end up with burnt meat and onions. Recipe by Madam asahi -

The cooking time depends on the temperature of the heat, but just eyeball it when you cook them. Recipe by woailiaoli -
An Osaka Specialty: Ika-yaki (Squid Pancakes) An Osaka Specialty: Ika-yaki (Squid Pancakes)
These are the ika-yaki sold at a certain department store, and occasionally at food stalls during summer festivals... I found out just recently that this is only sold in the Kansai area. In other regions, 'ika-yaki' means a whole grilled squid! I sometimes get a strong urge for Kansai style ika-yaki, but they don't sell it where I live, so I tried making it.I think at that certain department store they use iriko (dried sardine) dashi stock... but most Kansai people don't use that, so regular dashi should be fine.The key is to press down hard on the pancakes as you cook them.You can make these with just cake flour, but I added some bread flour too for a more chewy texture. For 3 20 cm [7.9 in] pancakes. Recipe by estrela -

Osaka Okonomiyaki with Beef Tendon Osaka Okonomiyaki with Beef Tendon
You can make delicious okonomiyaki using plain cake flour, without using expensive okonomiyaki flour!If using chicken stock, see.The key point is to make a soup stock from beef tendon. You can use chicken bone soup stock or bonito dashi stock as well.Mix up one pancake worth of the ingredients at a time, even if it's a bother!Heat up the griddle to 250°C. If it's not hot enough, the okonomiyaki will not cook up nice and puffy. Shrimp, oysters, scallops or squid is delicious added to this too. For 12 okonomiyaki pancakes. Recipe by Cooking S Papa -

Izakaya-Style Squid Kara-age (Fried Squid) Izakaya-Style Squid Kara-age (Fried Squid)
When we had a company party at an izakaya we frequent, we ordered this dish. I tried recreating it at home. The shichimi makes it spicier and more delicious.For the marinating sauce, simmer to 1/3 of the original amount of liquid and cool. If you mix the veggies while the sauce is hot, the lettuce will wilt too much. Put the fried squid quickly into the sauce. Don't worry about draining the oil, it's better that way.

An Osaka-native's Sauce Yakisoba (or Stir-fried Udon Noodles) An Osaka-native's Sauce Yakisoba (or Stir-fried Udon Noodles)
I was born and raised in Chuo Ward, Osaka, and love "okonomiyaki," "yakisoba" and "takoyaki".There are so many yummy restaurants here, but they're always so crowded... Even if these don't taste or look exactly the same as what you'd get in those places, I'm actually quite proud of what I've got here.Everything I've listed here are hints. Yakisoba and stir-fried udon noodles are such simple dishes, but those served at the okonomiyaki shop are really yummy.If you take some extra care during just a couple of steps, your noodles will taste so much better.I know yakisoba dishes vary in taste by region, but I hope you'll try this out at least once! For 1 serving. Recipe by *ai* -
