it comes in 3 colors…colored with paprika, spinach and turmeric.

For those looking for it over here…Fujiya should have it. BUT if anyone is interested in making their own temaki or cones using them at the wholesale price, we can split a case. There are 24 packs to a case. I will ask my connections to get it for me!

So, EbbA..go look for it in your Japanese grocery store. Google it first to familiarize yourself or better yet, bring your phone and show the tindera a picture of it. I find that a picture does a better job of trying to describe what I am looking for!

I have to share this with Brother, who just had fried kangkong for the first time- in Bangkok.

Seltzer or club soda and vodka together as explained in Cooks illustrated prevent the proteins in the flour from binding. Using vodka alone is not cost effective. Even in making pie crust, the addition of vodka contributes to the flakiness of the pie crust for reason above.

Kaya in MM’s batter, it produced a light tempura batter.

MM…while we are on the topic of Japanese food…is there a supplier there where you can get soy wrapper? If you can, do try it when you make cones instead of nori. I am fortunate that I found a supplier here locally on my side of the globe. It comes in different colors but I prefer the light green one.
