Ebi no umani are simmered prawns cooked in flavoured broth. Prawns are a typical ingredient for celebration in the Japanese culture. It is said that prawns resemble seniors with hunchbacks, implying a wish for longevity with this auspicious New Year’s dish.
Ingredients
5 black tiger prawns
½ cup sake
1 tbsp mirin
½ cup dashi
2 tbsp soy sauce
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine ½ cup sake, 2 tbsp mirin and ½ cup dashi. Then, bring to boil.
Once boiling, lower the heat to simmer and place the shrimp in the sauce. Simmer for 4-5 mins, skimming while cooking on low heat.
Once it’s cooked, immediately transfer the shrimp to a container, saving the cooking liquid.
Strain the cooking liquid, preferably over coffee filter or super fine mesh strainer.
Cover and soak shrimp in liquid for a few hours (at least) or overnight. Serve it at room temperature.
