tuna tuna!

This is for ViHang, who is currently vihangin’, vihang-style, in Singapore. Or India? Who knows. Vi: Pass this on to Clara, and she can make you some juicy Karaage the next time you see her - just tell her to replace the tuna with some loooove (or chicken). Muah.

(Karaage generally refers to fried chicken, and I’ve never met anyone who doesn’t love it - I mean, hello, it’s deep-fried! Grease lightning!)

TUNA KARAAGE.

Ingredients: (2 servings)

½-1 lbs yellowfin tuna steak
4 tbs soy sauce
4 tbs cooking sake
2 tsp mirin
8 tbs cornstarch (put aside extra for dredging)
1 tsp garlic, chopped finely or grated
1 tsp grated ginger

Cut tuna steaks into bite-sized pieces. Mix all ingredients, and let tuna marinate for up to 12hrs in fridge. Dredge again in cornstarch immediately before deep-frying for that extra crunch. Fill pan with oil (at least 2 inches), and keep heat on medium. If heat is too low, they’ll soak up grease and turn soggy; if too high, they’ll burn before cooking through. Good luck and happy frying.
