Get My New Book: 'The Art of Japanese Cooking' from me and my grandma. 👉 https://frugaljapan.shop/ Easy to make Japanese recipes that your family will enjoy :) ------------------------------------------------------ I’ll show you how I make crisp, light Japanese vegetable fritters instead of pale, soggy ones that fall apart and absorb too much oil. My secret is shiamomi—a simple salting and squeezing technique that removes excess water from cabbage before cooking. I’m making two everyday dishes: cabbage and carrot fritters with a cold miso yogurt dipping sauce, plus playful broccoli forest pancakes with crispy cheese wings. Along the way, I’ll share my minimal egg-and-flour batter, frying tips, vegetable variations, storage and bento ideas, and the kitchen traditions my mother passed down to me. 0:00 - The secret to crisp fritters 1:16 - Salting and slicing cabbage 2:58 - Why removing water matters 7:00 - Building a minimal batter 9:52 - Why Japanese meals stay light 11:34 - Frying the cabbage fritters 13:48 - Miso yogurt dipping sauce 16:06 - Broccoli forest pancakes 20:25 - Making crispy cheese wings 22:43 - Vegetable fritter variations 24:06 - Storage and bento tips 24:56 - Passing down kitchen traditions #japanesefood
