For the sauce: 50 g of dessert wine, 30 g of ginger root, 1 tbsp. a spoonful of soy sauce, 50 g of water, 1/2 daikon radish tuber.
Preparation
The idea for this dish was brought to Japan by the Portuguese in the 16th century. and transformed into a local way. This is, in fact, a roast in batter, or fondue, but the role of cheese is played by red-hot fat.
The whole difficulty is that at the time of eating this dish in front of those sitting at the table there should be a saucepan with slightly boiling oil - on the burner or just on the stove.
But all these products can be simply strung on wooden skewers, dipped in dough and, quickly deep-fried, served.
All food must be clean and dry before slicing. Cut the fish fillet into strips, onion and celery roots into thin slices, paprika into noodles. Knead a thin dough from rice and wheat flour, wine, proteins and water. Dip fish and vegetables in this dough and deep-fry until golden brown. Serve them with a sauce, which is prepared as follows: boil water with chopped ginger, pour in wine and soy sauce, stir and combine with chopped radish.
The chopped carrots and sprouted beans should be fried in heaps, and the peppers - whole. Fish and squid are fried in exactly the same way. Shrimps are not dipped whole in the dough, the hard part at the end of the tail remains without batter. Be extremely careful about squid, which behaves worst of all in oil (but, perhaps, tastes best), loves to burst, so wipe it especially thoroughly before frying.
In addition to those listed by us in the recipe, slices of fish, peeled shrimps, squid, eggplant, oyster mushrooms, pumpkin, onions, or whole small green peppers can be used as initial components. All this should stand in the cups in front of the guests raw.
Alternatively, the raw materials are mixed together on wooden skewers, dipped in dough, dipped in oil, or in a deep fryer.
Everyone has sauce in their own cup.
