煮干しの食べ方：煮干しの南蛮おろしの作り方　　How to make fried dry sardines with grated daikon

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: cornmeal

Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients.

dry sardines

🥗Healthier: canned sardines

💰Cheaper: anchovies

Canned sardines are convenient and offer similar flavor.

soy sauce

🥗Healthier: tamari

💰Cheaper: liquid aminos

Tamari is gluten-free while maintaining the umami flavor.

vegetable oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is often less expensive and has a high smoke point.

Rinse dry sardines under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

Grate the daikon and set aside in a bowl, sprinkling with a pinch of salt to draw out moisture.

In a bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, and pepper.

Gradually add water to the flour mixture, whisking until smooth.

Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat until hot.

Dip each sardine into the batter, allowing excess to drip off.

Carefully place the battered sardines into the hot oil, frying in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.

Remove sardines with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Serve the fried sardines with grated daikon on the side.

Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.

Drizzle with soy sauce and serve lemon wedges for squeezing.
