kodomo yoshoku

Another easy recipe from that quirky show, Kenmin Show, that shows all the different foods from the various prefectures in Japan.

Kodomo Yoshoku literally means Children Western Food, this recipe combines potatoes (western), worchestershire sauce (western), green onions and sakura ebi (sergia lucens)

They didn't give any specific measurements, so I made this one up: (serves 2)

1 medium sized potato
1 tablespoon olive oil
handful of dried sakura ebi
handful of green onions
2 teaspoons of worchestershire sauce

Boil potato with the skin on until soft.
Peel and cut into bite sized pieces
In a pan, heat up oil
Add potato and toss
When it is coated with the oil, added ebi and half of the green onions
Then add the sauce
When everything is coated with the sauce, serve and top with the rest of the green onions.

NOTES: super fast, easy and goes well with beer. I'm making this again.

ebisen

Whenever Satoshi goes to Nagoya, he always picks up some Furaibo--twice fried chicken wings, for me. This time around he bought another favorite of mine, ebi senbei or ebisen . This one is made by Bankaku. The crackers are crispy and very shrimp-y, makes you feel like you are chomping on the shells of the shrimp!

Can't get to Nagoya? Don't worry, they are in most large department stores around Japan.
