Moriyama Style Nakatsu Karaage （中津からあげ）
Nakatsu Karaage = Fried chicken made in Nakatsu, Oita Prefecture
What kind of dish is Karaage??
“Karaage” It is no exaggeration to say that karaage is a national dish of Japan.
Karaage fried chicke is a standard menu item for both home cooking and izakaya snacks. (Izakaya is a restaurant where you can drink alcohol.)
The standard way to make regular fried chicken is to marinate the chicken in a sauce made from garlic and soy sauce.
It’s delicious on its own, but also makes a great addition to curries and salads.
There are many different ways to prepare it, such as adding yuzu pepper to the seasoning or soaking it in a seasoning called shiro dashi.
Freshly made hot and juicy is exceptionally delicious!!
However, it is delicious even when it is cold because the flavor is soaked in.
Many people are happy when they find fried chicken in their lunchbox.
Parts used for fried chicken
In Japan, chicken thighs are preferred, but you can also use chicken breast or chicken wings. In recent years, it is said that using meat on the bone results in Karaage with even better flavor.
Many Karaage specialty stores offer a choice between meat on the bone or meat without the bone.
Features of this recipe
Karaage is popular throughout the country, but Oita Prefecture is especially known for having many delicious karaage fried chicken restaurants.
The owner of this shop has officially published the recipe, and this recipe is a slight adaptation of that.
In most cases, soy sauce is an essential ingredient in karaage. However, this recipe does not use soy sauce.
The meat is tenderized by using fruits such as pineapple and apple.
Also, the use of shichimi spices and sesame oil gives the dish a rich flavor despite not using soy sauce.
For the karaage batter, mix potato starch and wheat flour. Potato starch does not produce gluten, so the surface of the karaage will have a crispy texture and not be sticky.
