I tried making Potato Salad Chikuwa Tempura
Using a YouTube video recipe, I first tried making chikuwa tempura with cheese... My fellow fan told me that in Kumamoto, they put potato salad in it. So, I used store-bought potato salad to make chikuwa tempura. I sprinkled a pinch of salt and lemon 🍋 juice on it, and it tasted refreshing and delicious. I found out that when putting in the potato salad… the chunky potato pieces are difficult to incorporate 😂 For the coating, I fried it using only potato starch. I later learned that chikuwa tempura with potato salad is a soul food of Kumamoto.

It's admirable that you're learning about Kumamoto's food culture. Your ingenuity in filling the potato salad is impressive, and the result is superb. The idea of finishing it with lemon is also quite logical.

Looks delicious! 😋 It's great as both a side dish and a snack! 👍️ So small potatoes are better~ 📝 I was undecided about today's menu, so I might try making potato salad chikuwa tempura.
