Kaki furai


Kaki furai or kaki fry is a Japanese dish consisting of panko-breaded deep-fried oysters. The oysters used in the dish are either Crassostrea gigas or Crassostrea nippona.

Preparation

The dish is prepared by coating raw oysters with flour and then covering them with panko flakes, a type of bread crumb. The oysters are then deep-fried at about for roughly two minutes, at which point, they should appear golden brown.

Variations

In 2019, the government of Hiroshima Prefecture came up with a variation of the dish in which the bread coating remained white. This was done by frying the oysters at a lower temperature, about, for a few minutes.
