Kaki Fry

Kaki Fry is a delicious Japanese dish featuring crispy fried oysters, providing a perfect balance of textures and flavors. This kosher version is prepared with care to ensure it meets dietary requirements while still delivering an authentic taste.

Ingredients

• Fresh oysters - 200 grams
• All-purpose flour - 50 grams
• Egg - 1 large
• Panko breadcrumbs - 100 grams
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Vegetable oil - 200 ml (for frying)
• Lemon wedges - 2 (for serving)
• Ketchup - 2 tablespoons (for dipping)

Steps

1. Rinse the oysters under cold water to remove any grit and pat them dry with a paper towel.
2. In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper.
3. In another bowl, beat the egg until smooth.
4. Place the panko breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
5. Dredge each oyster in the flour mixture, making sure to coat it evenly.
6. Dip the floured oyster into the beaten egg, allowing any excess to drip off.
7. Coat the oyster with panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
8. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).
9. Carefully add the breaded oysters to the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary, until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
10. Once cooked, remove the oysters with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
11. Serve the Kaki Fry hot with lemon wedges and ketchup for dipping.
