Hello
Thank you all of you for giving me a lot of likes for my bento today. The main of this bento was Amakara chicken wings and mooli.
Amakara is a Japanese word which means “sweet and salty”, although the taste is not that simple. When Japanese people use this word, they can imagine how it is going to taste because Amakara dish needs soya sauce and mirin (a kind of alcohol to make dish sweeter and shiny). If you do not have mirin, use mix of a shot of sweet white wine and a drop of honey.
Mooli is a huge white radish which is very common in Japan. If you can not find mooli st the nearest supermarket from where you live, just use turnip. As long as you have all seasoning this dish costs only a few pounds. Being healthy, easy and economical, I highly recommend you to give it a go!
