Japanese Negi Leek Patties
Tomoko's mum toshiko sent me 3 new cookbooks. They are written in japanese, so tomoko and i are going to slowly translate the recipes we want to make-here is the first one! Prep time doesn't include cooling the leeks.
Steps
Stir fry the leek in the 1 tablespoon of oil until a little softened.
Cool.
Meanwhile place the first 4 sauce ingredients in a saucepan and bring to the boil.
Add the cornstarch mix to this , and stir until it thickens.
Set aside.
Place the leeks , eggs and pinch of salt in a bowl and mix.
Heat half the sesame oil in a large frypan over medium high heat.
Using half the mix , form 4 patties in the pan.
Cook until golden , turn over cook until golden and cooked through.
Keep these warm whilst you repeat with the remaining sesame oil and leek / egg mix.
Divide between 4 plates , and serve with the sauce spooned over.
Ingredients
