Addictive Japanese Potato Salad (Potesara)

300 g potato (starchy type like king edward or russet)

eggs

salt

carrot (medium size)

Japanese cucumber (or half the amount of English cucumber)

olive oil

bacon

garlic (finely diced)

yellow onions (thinly sliced)

tbsp grated parmesan cheese

½ tsp dashi granules

¼ tsp ground black pepper (plus extra for sprinkling)

tsp apple vinegar vinegar

tbsp Japanese mayonnaise ()

sesame oil

tsp honey

Japanese mustard (or smooth Dijon mustard)

Wash, peel and cut 300 g potato into equal thirds or quarters (depending on the size). Place them in a pot along with 2 eggs and fill with cold water until fully submerged. Add ½ tsp salt and bring to a boil over high heat and then lower to medium. Cook for 12-15 minutes.

While the potatoes are boiling, prepare the other ingredients. Peel and slice ⅓ carrot then cut into half moons or quarters. Thinly slice ½ Japanese cucumber.

Place the cucumber in a bowl with a few pinches of salt and set aside for later.

Heat a frying pan on a medium setting and once hot, add ½ tsp olive oil. Add 50 g bacon, 2 cloves garlic (finely diced) and ¼ yellow onions (thinly sliced).

Fry until bacon is crispy and onion is softened, then remove the pan from the heat.

Once the potatoes are fork-tender, use a slotted spoon to transfer the eggs to a bowl of cold water and the potatoes to a large heatproof bowl. Add the carrots to the water and cook for 1 minute.

Mash the potatoes while they&#39;re still hot.

Once the mashed potato is smooth, add the contents of the frying pan (bacon etc), carrot and boiled eggs to the bowl. Mix well.

Squeeze the cucumber to remove the excess moisture and add them to the bowl along with 1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese, ½ tsp dashi granules, ¼ tsp ground black pepper, 1 tsp apple vinegar, 4 tbsp Japanese mayonnaise, 1 tsp toasted sesame oil, 1 tsp honey and ½ tsp Japanese mustard. Mix until evenly distributed.

Once cool enough to touch, cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Sprinkle with extra black pepper to taste, and enjoy!

Japanese Izakaya Style Potato Salad

Learn how to make Saizeriya&#39;s most loved dish in your own kitchen! Karami chicken is made with juicy marinated chicken wingettes and fried to perfection with a crispy seasoned batter.

Karami Chicken (Saizeriya Chicken Wings Copycat Recipe)

chicken wings

tbsp white wine

tbsp tomato ketchup

tbsp chili bean sauce (toban djan)

tsp rice vinegar

oyster sauce

tsp garlic garlic

tsp sugar

cornstarch

tbsp all-purpose flour

cooking oil (for shallow frying)

Start by taking a good sharp knife and chopping board. Stretch out each wing and feel for the joint. (If using wings with the drum attached, repeat this process on the other side so that the wing is divided into three parts.)

Cut off the tips by cutting through the cartilage part in the fold. You can use the tips or save them for making chicken stock.

Take a container and add 1 tbsp white wine, 1 tbsp tomato ketchup, 1 tbsp chili bean sauce (toban djan), 1 tsp rice vinegar, ¼ tsp salt, 1 tsp oyster sauce 1 tsp grated garlic, and 1 tsp sugar. This is your marinade.

Mix it well and add the chicken wings to the container. Mix until fully coated and marinate for 30 minutes in the fridge.

Take a deep frying pan and add oil so its about 2cm (1 inch) high. Heat your oil to 160 °C (320 °F).While you wait, add 2 tbsp cornstarch and 2 tbsp all-purpose flour to the chicken and mix it around. The flour and starch will mix with the marinade to make a thick batter over the chicken.

Once the oil has finished heating, add the chicken and fry for 3 minutes on each side.

Increase the heat to 190 °C (374 °F) and fry for 1 minute on each side.

Transfer to a wire rack to allow any excess oil to drip off.

Serve while hot as a delicious appetizer, side or snack!

Greetings from Florida. I lived in Japan years ago (Yokosuka) and once the tsunami hit in 2011 we moved back to the states. I miss this resteraunt  so much ! Happen to Google and find this!  Can you air fry instead of deep fry?

Hi!!! This is also our favorite side dish from Saizeriya, especially my husband. So much so he wants me to cook it for him. And he was the one who found your page. ☺️

May I know the type white wine that you use? I’m really clueless on which white wine to buy for cooking. 

Sending this from Singapore as well!

Thanks a lot!!!

Make restaurant-worthy ramen at home with this amazing pork miso ramen recipe! Not only is the broth rich, creamy and delicious but the whole dish can be put together in just 15 minutes!

Pork Miso Ramen in 15 Minutes (Sapporo Style)

butter

g pork

tbsp ginger root (finely diced)

tbsp Japanese leek (naganegi) (white part, finely diced)

tsp Japanese soy sauce (koikuchi shoyu)

½ tsp chili bean sauce (toban djan)

ml water

tsp Chinese-style chicken bouillon powder

peanut butter

½ tbsp yellow miso paste (awase)

portions ramen noodles

g spinach

g bean sprouts

corn

tsp finely chopped green onions

tsp butter

ramen eggs (or soft boiled egg)

seaweed

Melt 1 tsp butter in a pan over a medium heat and add 4 cloves garlic , 1 tbsp ginger root and 2 tbsp Japanese leek (naganegi). Once fragrant add 150 g ground pork and stir-fry until cooked through.

Season with 1 tsp Japanese soy sauce (koikuchi shoyu), 1 tsp mirin, 1 tsp oyster sauce and ½ tsp chili bean sauce (toban djan) and mix thoroughly. Simmer until the liquid is almost gone and then turn off the heat.

Take a heatproof measuring jug and whisk 500 ml freshly boiled water with 1 tsp Chinese-style chicken bouillon powder and 1 tbsp smooth peanut butter until dissolved. Pour the soup into the pan and heat on medium once more.

Bring to a boil and then turn off the heat. Place 1 ½ tbsp yellow miso paste (awase) on a mesh spoon or ladle, dip it into the soup and then whisk it to break it up. This technique makes it easier to incorporate the miso into the soup smoothly without lumps. (Alternatively, mix the miso paste with a small amount of broth in a separate bowl and pour back into the pan once smooth.)

Add 100 g bean sprouts to the broth and cook them in the residual heat for 1-2 minutes. (No need to turn the heat back on.)

Cook 2 portions ramen noodles according to the instructions on the packaging and add 30 g Oriental spinach to the water in the final minute. Drain using a colander and rinse both the noodles and spinach with fresh hot water to wash off any excess starch.

Dish up the noodles into a large bowl, pour the broth over the noodles and top with the pork, beansprouts and spinach. Garnish with green onion (green part), sweet corn (straight from the tin is fine but you can microwave them if you prefer them warm.) and unsalted butter in each bowl.

I love the idea of using peanut butter in the soup! It was so easy and tasty!!!
I didn’t have Chinese chili bean paste so used Korean. Still turned out very well.

Thank you for the incredible tasty food. I’ve been following your site for a while now and always have success with your recipes. Just had to comment. I’m going to try the pork miso ramen today.

This ramen recipe was so good! It was easy to make, too. The miso got it close to tasting like my favorite local restaurant ramen. I'll definitely be making it this way from now on.
