Deep-Fried Lotus root and Shrimp Sandwiches(れんこんのはさみ揚げ)

Good Afternoon Everyone, having a great weekend so far.  We are enjoy the great sunny weather here and the family is all together watching some movies that we rented last night after coming back from work.

Today’s Japanese Cooking Style is called Deep Fried Lotus Root and Shrimp Sandwiches or れんこんのはさみ揚げ in Japanese.  This is a very tasty and delicious style of sandwich, something a little different from your bread type style.  I hope you enjoy making this with or for your family.

Ingredients:

☆ 4 lotus root, cut into 5㎜ pieces

☆ 200g shrimps

☆ 10㎝ naganegi onion, cut into mince

☆ 1/2 knob ginger, cut into mince

☆ 1 tbsp starch

☆ 1/4 tsp salt

☆ 1 tsp sake

☆ Flour

☆ Oil for deep- frying

Direction:

1. Soak the lotus root in vinegar-added water for 4-5 min, and wipe dry.

2. Combine the shrimps, naganegi onion, ginger, starch, sake, and salt, and in a food processor and grind.

3. Pair the lotus roots slice, lightly dust one side of each slice with flour. Put the ground shrimp mixture, on the side dusted with flour, and place another slice of lotus root on top it to make sandwich. Lightly sprinkle on the flour.

4. Deep-fry the sandwiches in oil at 170℃. When the surface of the lotus root is crispy and the shrimp mixture is elastic take out of the pat and drain on a tray
