2-Ingredient French Crullers | OCHIKERON | Japanese Cooking Video Recipe

You just need Tempura flour and mayonnaise. 
Double or triple this recipe to make as many as you want 😊

Whipped cream or ice cream filling is really good. It adds vanilla flavor and sweetness. Makes it moist and super delicious. Must try!

2-Ingredient French Crullers

French Crullers are the top-selling donut at Mister Donut (donut shop) in Japan. Simple sugar glaze is my kids' favorite but in this video they ended up playing with the cream 😅

FYI: Tempura Flour (any brand is OK):

 

---------------------------------

2-Ingredient French Crullers

Difficulty: Very Easy

Time: 15min

Number of servings: 3 (3-Inch-round 1.5-Inch-height)

Ingredients:

160g (5.6oz.) Tempura flour

4 tbsp. mayonnaise

100ml water

deep frying oil

powdered sugar (confectioner's sugar)

whipped cream

Directions:

1. Put Tempura flour, mayonnaise, and 100ml water in a bowl and mix well with a spatula.

2. Transfer the batter into a pastry bag fitted with a large (0.6inch) star tip (Do NOT use a round tip or the batter will explode!!!). Pipe out 2 layers of rings onto a parchment paper.

3. Deep fry in oil at 180C (350F) until crisp golden brown.

4. Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with sugar glaze (mix 3 tbsp. powdered sugar & 1 tsp. water). You can slice and place whipped cream or ice cream between the layers if you like!

Maguro Zuke Don (Marinated Tuna Fish Rice Bowl) Recipe | Japanese Cooking Video

Maguro means Tuna, Zuke means to marinate, and Don is short for Donburi which means rice bowl. Marinated fresh Sashimi-grade tuna served on a rice bowl. Quick yet delicious!

You can of course use Salmon, scallop, or any other Sashimi-grade fish instead! Enjoy :)

Hachibiki (Japanese Rubyfish)

BTW, you can eat Chrysanthemum. For Sashimi you float the petals on soy sauce. For rice bowl, you can sprinkle with the petals if you like.

---------------------------------

Maguro Zuke Don (Marinated Tuna Fish Rice Bowl)

Difficulty: Very Easy

Time: 15min

Number of servings: 1

Ingredients:

90g (3.2oz) Sashimi Grade Yellowfin Ahi Tuna

1/2 tbsp. Sake

1/2 tbsp. Mirin (sweet Sake)

1 tbsp. soy sauce

Wasabi if you like

1 bowl of rice

Kizaminori (shredded Nori sheet)

green onions and/or Shiso leaf

toasted white sesame seeds

Directions:

1. In a small pot, boil down Sake and Mirin to reduce the alcohol content.

2. Add soy sauce and Wasabi, then mix well. (Wasabi will be not spicy if you mix and leave for a while, so kids can eat it with only nice Wasabi aroma.)

3. Marinate tuna Sashimi and put in the fridge for about 10 minutes. (Do not marinate too long or tuna will be salty.)

4. Meanwhile, put rice in a rice bowl and leave to cool. (Cold rice is better because it won't warm up the fish.)

5. Put Kizaminori on the rice, arrange Tuna sashimi, garnish with green onions or Shiso leaves, and sprinkle with toasted white sesame seeds. You can place a bit of fresh Wasabi on top if you like.

Heart-Shaped Corn Dogs | Japanese Cooking Video Recipe

Basically you just need only 2 ingredients. Hot Cake Mix (Japanese pancake mix) and sausages!

 

I used Hot Cake Mix for the batter to save time. Hot Cake Mix is perfect for corn dog batter. It is a very popular and versatile Japanese pancake mix. You can make cakes, cookies, muffins, or any kind of sweets. 

Hot Cake Mix is available at Asian grocery stores overseas. Morinaga and Showa are popular brands.

 

Adding cocoa powder or Matcha powder to the batter is a great idea 👍 

---------------------------------

Heart-Shaped Corn Dogs (2 Ingredients)

Difficulty: Easy

Time: 15min

Number of servings: 20 sausages (5cm/2in long) OR 10 sausages (10cm/4in long)

Ingredients:

50g (1.7oz) hot cake mix

50ml water or milk

20 sausages (5cm/2in long) OR 10 sausages (10cm/4in long)

deep frying oil

ketchup if you want

Directions:

1. In a bowl, mix hot cake mix and water very well.

2. Cut a sausage diagonally and join the cut sides reversely to form a heart shape. Put through an uncooked spaghetti piece or a toothpick to hold them together.

3. Dip the heart-shaped sausages in the batter and deep fry at 170C (340F) until golden.

4. Carefully remove the toothpicks. Spaghetti will become soft, so you don't need to remove it. Serve with ketchup.
