Edamame Kakiage Don (Bowl )
Do you know kakiage? Kakiage is type of tempura. Kakiage translates to “mixed and fried.” Thus, the name refers to how the ingredients are mixed together with the tempura batter before being fried. Carrot and onion Kakiage is one of the most popular Kakiage ingredients – I just added edamame, the young soybean for additional protein!
Eating Kakiage with salt or tentsuyu is one of the most popular way but putting on top of rice bowl is another way to enjoy Kakiage!
