Recipe: Delicious Simple Chikuwa Nanban

Simple Chikuwa Nanban. Chicken Nanban is deep-fried chicken with tartar sauce, a dish from Miyazaki prefecture in Kyusyu, the southern big island of Japan. The chicken is lightly battered and fried, then dipped in sweet and sour sauce just like Nanbanzuke, marinaded fried fish with vegetables. Cut Chikuwa vertically in half, and then cut the long pieces in half (making shorter pieces).

Nanban sauce is a sweet and sour sauce with dry chilli called "Takanotsume" and sliced onions. One important tip to make this sauce is to add vinegar at the end-stage. This is so the sauce will not lose the acidity of the vinegar as it evaporates with the heat. 'Chikuwa' is a tube-shape Japanese fishcake made from Surimi (fish paste).
