Chef's 3 Ultimate Snacks for Drinking at Home
Chef Akihiko Murata of the popular Japanese restaurant 'Kishun Suzunari' in Araki-cho, Shinjuku, introduces three ultimate snacks that will keep the drinks flowing at home. He prepares 'Win-P,' a classic favorite of his; 'Pork Belly Karaage,' which is rendered of excess fat while remaining incredibly juicy; and 'Otsumami Fried Rice,' a slightly salty dish perfect for wrapping up a night of drinking that also helps prevent hangovers. Utilizing solid Japanese culinary techniques, these recipes are packed with professional ideas that are easy to replicate at home. This lineup is irresistible for alcohol lovers and is sure to elevate your home drinking experience.
How to Make Nostalgic Win-P with a Twist
The first dish is 'Win-P,' a combination of sausages and green bell peppers. The sausages are cut diagonally into bite-sized pieces, with red sausages cut into playful shapes like octopuses and crabs. The key to the green bell peppers is to cut them vertically into large, irregular chunks to retain their crisp texture. In a pan, combine vegetable oil, red chili pepper, and thickly sliced garlic, cooking slowly over low heat to infuse the oil with flavor. Add the sausages and stir-fry over medium heat until browned, then toss in the green bell peppers. Finally, add shio kombu, soy sauce, and toasted white sesame seeds, turning off the heat before quickly tossing everything together. The savory umami of the shio kombu and the richness of the garlic pair beautifully with the slight bitterness of the peppers, creating an addictive snack.
Secrets to Crispy, Juicy Pork Belly Karaage
The second dish is karaage made with pork belly instead of the usual chicken. The pork belly block is cut into 2 cm cubes, marinated in grated ginger, grated garlic, black pepper, sake, and soy sauce, and left to sit for 5 minutes. The coating is a 7:3 blend of potato starch and rice flour. Adding rice flour creates a crispy, cracker-like texture and savory aroma. For frying, first cook the pork at a low temperature of 160°C (320°F) for 3 minutes to render out excess fat, then remove and let it rest for 2.5 minutes. After that, double-fry at a high temperature of 180°C (356°F) for 1 minute to achieve a super crispy exterior while keeping the inside juicy. Serve it with a refreshing special grated daikon mixture combined with yuzu kosho and lemon.
Umami-Rich Fried Rice: The Perfect Finale
The third dish is 'Otsumami Fried Rice,' perfect for wrapping up a drinking session. The ingredients—chikuwa, scallions, and garlic—are all finely chopped to a uniform size. The rice is pre-coated with egg yolk, while the egg white is kept separate and fried first to release its aroma. Heat lard in a pan, fry the egg white, then add the egg-coated rice. Stir-fry while breaking it up until fluffy, then add the other ingredients. The highlight of this fried rice is the use of 'shutou' (salted fish entrails). Clear a space on the side of the pan and sear the shutou directly to eliminate any fishiness and release an explosion of savory aroma before mixing it all together. Finish by adding shiso leaves for a refreshing herbal touch.
Tasting the Snacks: Perfect Drink Pairings
The chef tastes the three completed dishes with his assistant. For the Win-P, the spicy kick of the red chili and the saltiness of the shio kombu are a perfect match, and squeezing a bit of lemon juice offers a refreshing twist. Thanks to the double-frying method, the Pork Belly Karaage has its excess fat rendered out, making it surprisingly light while bursting with savory pork flavor with every bite. The Otsumami Fried Rice features the rich depth of shutou and the freshness of shiso leaves clinging to the rice; wrapping it in lettuce adds a crisp texture, making it a truly complete drinking snack. All of these dishes pair beautifully with beer, highballs, or shochu with soda, making them absolutely irresistible.
Chef's Funny Drinking Stories & Restaurant News
During the tasting, Chef Murata shares some lighthearted stories that showcase his friendly personality. He recalls childhood school lunches where his 'karaage' was made of mackerel instead of chicken like everyone else's. He also shares hilarious drinking mishaps, such as accidentally letting a gust of wind blow away a stack of cash while trying to pay for a taxi, and another time when he mistook the taxi for his home, took off his shoes, and walked all the way home barefoot. Finally, he introduces his YouTube channel, 'Akihiko Murata's Nirunari Yakunari,' and shares updates about his restaurant 'Suzunari,' which now features more seating and private rooms, closing with a warm message to the viewers.
