  • Publication number: 20220151270
    Abstract: A problem to be solved by the present invention is to produce Satsuma-age, namely deep-fried minced fish and vegetables, and batter liquid, rich in vegetables. The above problem has been solved by the present invention by substituting vegetables for all, most, or part of the water used in the production of the Satsuma-age as well as the batter liquid. The Satsuma-age provided by the present invention and fried food produced with the batter liquid provided by the present invention are excellent because they are rich in vegetable-derived nutrients. The Satsuma-age and the fried food produced are also excellent in flavor, taste, and mouth feel.
