Kushikatsu
Kushikatsu is a delicious Japanese dish that consists of skewered and deep-fried ingredients. It’s a popular street food in Osaka! The skewers can include a variety of ingredients like meat, seafood, vegetables, or even cheese.
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless meat (such as chicken, pork, or beef), cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 pound mixed vegetables (like bell peppers, onions, zucchini, or eggplant), cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 pound seafood (like shrimp or squid), cleaned and deveined
- 1 pound cheese (such as mozzarella or cheddar), cut into cubes
- 1 pound all-purpose flour
- 1 pound Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 pound eggs beaten
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Vegetable oil for deep-frying
For the Dipping Sauce:
- 1 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
- Prepare the dipping sauce by combining all the dipping sauce ingredients in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through. Set aside.
- In separate bowls, set up your breading station. Place the flour in one bowl, the beaten eggs in another bowl, and the Panko breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
- Season the meat, vegetables, seafood, and cheese with salt and pepper to taste.
- Skewer the ingredients onto bamboo skewers, alternating between meat, vegetables, seafood, and cheese.
- Dip each skewer into the flour, ensuring it is well coated. Then dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, roll it in the Panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere the breadcrumbs.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to around 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully place the skewers into the hot oil, a few at a time, and fry until golden brown and cooked through. This typically takes about 3-4 minutes per skewer.
- Once cooked, transfer the skewers to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve the Kushikatsu skewers hot with the dipping sauce on the side. Enjoy!
