What Japanese Families Really Eat for Dinner / Japanese SASAMI FRY + 3 Side Dishes!

Let’s cook dinner at home for much less than eating out! Tonight's Japanese home-cooked dinner set meal! 🍽️ 📋 Menu 🍗 Main: Sasami Fry — Japanese Chicken Tender Katsu 🥒 Side dish ①: Cucumber & Chikuwa Sesame Salad 🍆 Side dish ②: Grilled Eggplant with Gochujang Sauce 🍵 Soup: Tofu & Wakame Miso Soup 🍚 Multigrain Rice 💡 Cooking Tips in This Video ✅ Mayo Katsu Hack — Skip the flour and egg! Coat the chicken with mayonnaise instead. Since mayo is made from eggs and oil, it replaces both steps perfectly. Fewer dishes, same crispy result! ✅ Age-yaki — Instead of deep-frying in a large pot of oil, Japanese home cooks use a shallow pan-frying method called "age-yaki." Just add oil to about 1/3 the height of the food and fry each side until golden! 🌸 Japanese Ingredients Featured Sasami — Japanese chicken tender, the lean and tender part of the chicken breast!
