CRISPY TEMPURA PRAWNS | Toshikoshi Soba from Today's Menu for the Emiya Family | Anime Kitchen

I DID IT, I MANAGED TO GET A VIDEO OUT BEFORE THE FIRST MONTH OF 2021.

To kick things off this year, we're making Toshikoshi Soba (or New Year Soba) from Today's Menu for the Emiya Family/Emiya-San Chi no Kyou no Gohan. A delicious sweet and salty broth with soba noodles, vegetables all topped off with some light and crispy tempura prawns.

The end of 2020 was a super hectic time for me due to work really picking up, which unfortunately meant that the channel had to take a back seat. Things are finally settling down, which means, with a little bit of luck and a lot of forward-planning on my part (that still needs to be planned, please wish me luck), the upload schedule should be back on track soon!

Pull up a chair, unfurl that napkin and welcome to the Anime Kitchen!

• 30ml/1tbsp Sake

 
Recipes:
Kaeshi:
1. In a small saucepan add in the sake and bring it to a boil over high heat. Ignite the vapours to burn off the alcohol. Reduce heat to low, then add the mirin and sugar, stirring until dissolved.
2. Once dissolved, add the soy sauce and bring back to a simmer. Remove from heat and skim off any foam. Reserve in a bowl or container until needed.

Dashi:
1. Soak kombu in the water and leave overnight in the fridge.
2. Add the kombu and water to a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, removing the kombu just before it boils.
3. Reduce heat to low, add your bonito flakes and simmer for 30 minutes.
4. Strain through cheesecloth or a fine-mesh sieve.
5. Combine all the dashi with kaeshi to taste.

Noodles:
1. If making fresh soba, refer to this video: https://youtu.be/b1y4TrrSm2w
2. If using dry soba, cook to packet instructions.
Tempura:

1. In a bowl, whisk the egg until well beaten. Whisk in the water until well combined.
2. Sift in flour and cornflour, then using chopsticks, mix the batter together until just combined. It’s okay for it to be a little lumpy.
3. Deshell the prawns, leaving the tail on. Make an incision across the top of the prawns and remove the digestive tract.
4. Make very shallow cuts along the bottom of the prawn, using the natural segments as a guide. Repeat on the left and right sides. Gently coax the prawn meat until fully straightened.
5. In a bowl, combine the sake, 2tsp corn flour and 1tsp of salt. Mix until a paste has formed. Add prawns and toss to lightly coat. Remove prawns and rest on paper towel.
6. Heat vegetable oil in a saucepan to between 170 and 180C. Add some tempura batter to the oil and stir with chopsticks for 10-15 seconds to create flakes.
7. Dip the prawn in the batter and add to the oil, coating the prawn in the flakes. Fry until golden. Remove and strain on a wire rack.

Skim the oil to remove any remaining tempura pieces to prevent burning. Repeat the frying process with the remaining prawns.

Assembly:
1. Add cooked and rinsed soba to your serving bowl.
2. Cover with your combined dashi & kaeshi soup.
3. Top with chopped leafy greens, finely sliced spring onion, kamaboko, tempura prawns and lemon peel.
