Have you heard of “Kushikatsu’?
Kutshikatsu is a popular Japanese dish that consists of deep-fried skewered foods, typically served as appetizers or street food. The term “kushikatsu” translates to “skewer” (kushi) and “deep-fried” (katsu). The dish is believed to have originated in Osaka, Japan.
To prepare kushikatsu, various ingredients such as meat, seafood, vegetables, and even cheese are skewered onto bamboo sticks, then coated with a light batter or breadcrumbs. The skewers are then deep-fried until crispy and golden brown. The result is a delightful combination of textures and flavors, with a crispy exterior and tender interior.
Kushikatsu is typically served with a tangy, savory dipping sauce called tonkatsu sauce. However, diners are often encouraged to follow a few rules: never double-dip, as it is considered unsanitary, and refrain from dipping vegetables into the communal sauce to maintain its freshness.
