Method

Preparation of Karaage

  1. 1

    Marinate the Protein

    In a bowl, combine soy sauce, sake, mirin, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Add the chicken or fish and marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Coating

    In a separate bowl, mix cornstarch, all-purpose flour, salt, and pepper.

  3. 3

    Coat the Protein

    Remove the protein from the marinade, letting excess liquid drip off. Dredge it in the flour mixture until fully coated.

  4. 4

    Fry the Karaage

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Fry the coated pieces in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

Preparation of Honey-Soy-Mayo Sauce

  1. 5

    Mix the Sauce Ingredients

    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, honey, soy sauce, and lemon juice. Stir until well blended.
