tatsuta-age; deep-fried fish or meat marinated in soy sauce and mirin, coated with starch
A Japanese cooking technique where fish or meat is marinated, coated with katakuriko (potato starch) or cornstarch, and deep-fried. The name comes from the Tatsuta River, whose autumn leaves the reddish-brown fried color resembles.
Tonight's side dish is chicken tatsuta-age.
Tatsuta-age is coated with potato starch and fried, so it turns out crispy on the outside and juicy inside.
