saborecipe

Saw this recipe for no fry ebi tendon on the train 

The reason this post is titled “saborecipe” is because they use this word in Japanese

“Sabo” is shortened from “saboru” or “play hooky”, literally “play hooky from cooking”

Here’s the recipe if you want to try :1 serving : Suntory Kinmugi

5 shrimp, boiled

tenkasu (bits from tempura)

1 serving rice

1tablespoon mentsuyu (sauce for noodles)

1 tablespoon mayo

aonori (green laver)

Mix 1/2 teaspoon of mentsuyu with 1 tablespoon of mayo and tenkasu, put in the boiled shrimp and mix well

Drizzle 2.5 teaspoons mentsuyu on rice

Top with aonori and more tenkasu

NOTES: I didn’t use boiled shrimp, I pan fried with a little oil

I thought just shrimp was kinda not enough so I also pan fried some onion and maitake 

I don’t have mentsuyu so I used dashi shoyu instead 

I drizzled 1 teaspoon onto my rice 

I mixed the 1/2 teaspoon dashi shoyu with 1 tablespoon mayo then threw in the cooked shrimp, maitake and onion, sprinkled in some tenkasu and mixed it well

I poured the concoction onto my rice and topped it with a little juilienned shiso and also added some furikake because I didn’t have aonori

I also sprinkled a little more tenkasu

The tenkasu gets soggy fast so eat this right away

Not really tendon flavors, probably because I used dashi shoyu?, but I’m glad I tried this recipe even if I didn’t totally “play hooky” from cooking
