Karaage

Japanese cooking technique

About this dish

Karaage is a Japanese cooking technique in which small pieces of meat or fish are marinated, dredged with a starch, and deep fried in oil. The usual meat is chicken, but may also be other meats, fish, or tofu. Karaage may be served alone or with rice and shredded cabbage. The marinade typically includes sake, soy sauce, ginger juice, and scallions. The process is different from other Japanese frying techniques, which do not marinate the food: su-age 'naked fry' is not coated with starch or batter; koromo-age 'batter fry', the technique used for tempura, uses a batter.
