Renkon Manjuu


"Renkon" means lotus root.  This is very common vegetable in Japanese home cooking.  First to ground then mix with potato starch, egg white, season with salt, sake.  Then place shrimp and edamame inside and shape it in ball.  Deep fry them in vegetable oil until it cooks.

Separately prepare dashi with sake, mirin, light soya sauce and thicken it with potato starch in the end.  Serve the renkon ball with dashi sauce.

「蓮根まんじゅう」蓮根は香港にもあるが、中華料理より和食の方がよく使う野菜だと思う。蓮根をすりおろして、酒、塩、片栗粉、卵の白身を加える。小エビと枝豆を中に入れ、形を整える。油で揚げる。油を避けたい方はラップに包んで蒸してもよいと思う。出汁を用意し、酒、味醂、塩、薄口醤油で味付けをする。片栗粉でとろみをつける。
