Kids and teenagers who are interested in anime and Asian culture will love the homemade caramel chicken with mochi, tezi and soy sauce. Food technologist Lyudmila Rumyantseva told socialbites.ca about this.
According to the technologist, to cook chicken in soy sauce, you will need chicken fillet, sugar, garlic, 9% table vinegar, soy sauce and black pepper.
“Chicken fillet needs to be washed, cut into small pieces and dried. Then heat a thick-walled pan and pour sugar into it. Then you should add one or two teaspoons of water to the sugar and stir slowly without letting it burn. Add the chicken and fry for 7-10 minutes,” said Rumyantseva.
After that, you need to add garlic, soy sauce, vinegar and black pepper to the pan and fry the chicken until golden brown.
The food technologist said that to make mochi cakes, which are popular among anime fans, at home, you need to take 130g of glutinous rice flour, 80g of powdered sugar and 150ml of water. And for the filling you will need mascarpone cheese, white chocolate, powdered sugar, strawberries and cornstarch.
Rumyantseva explained that you should first prepare the cream by adding powdered sugar and melted white chocolate into the mascarpone. The finished cream is sent to the refrigerator.
“We prepare the dough by mixing rice flour with powdered sugar and water. Then cover it with stretch film and cook it in the microwave at 800W for 2 minutes. After that, mix well to avoid lumps and microwave again at 800W for 1.5 minutes. After the microwave, whisk the dough with a spatula,” added the technologist.
The finished dough is rolled out on a board sprinkled with starch.
“We take some of the dough and put cream and strawberries in the middle. Then we close the edges and create mochi. Mochi with strawberry and mascarpone and white chocolate cream is ready. “You can eat it immediately or keep it in the refrigerator for 1 hour so that the dough gets a better consistency and the cream hardens,” explained Rumyantseva.
The technologist said the quickest to prepare tezi is in rolls you can take with you. They only require nori seaweed, rice, crab sticks and cucumber, as well as soy sauce.
“To improve the taste of Temaki, we put boiled rice in nori and add soy sauce. Then add the crab sticks. Alternatively, you can use any other seafood you like. Then add fresh cucumber. Let’s roll it up and enjoy the themeki!” – concluded the technologist.
