Kushikatsu - Cheese
Melted cheese sealed inside a crispy panko shell — the one you eat before anyone else gets to it.
Ingredients
| 7 oz (200g) | semi-firm cheese (gouda or mozzarella), cut into 1-inch (2.5cm) cubes |
| 1/2 cup (60g) | all-purpose flour |
| 2 | eggs, beaten |
| 1 cup (80g) | fine panko |
| — | vegetable oil for frying |
| — | bamboo skewers, soaked |
Instructions
- Thread 2–3 cheese cubes onto each skewer, pressing together firmly. 2. Coat in flour, egg, then panko — coat again (double-coat) to fully seal the cheese. 3. Freeze skewers for 15 minutes. 4. Fry at 340°F (170°C) for 60–90 seconds until golden. Do not overcook or the cheese will burst. 5. Drain and serve immediately with kushikatsu sauce.
