Holy crap! that looks amazing, plus it doesn't seem to contain shrimp so I could eat :woot:

Whats the name of this dish? Is it a Japanese dish? Can it be found in restaurants or is it something you just cook at home?

Thanks :)

lol. domo arigato gozaimasu. in any event, i would think even Aussies enjoy fried chicken <see photo above>

my homemade fried chicken is a welcome event....organic chicken tossed in yogurt with garlic, ginger, sea salt, and fresh ground pepper battered with katakuriko <potato starch> & then fried.

all i gotta say...."Honti ni umai'n desu!!!"

I think you should bring some of that to my place. It's now 9:00pm and my hunger has gotten worse. :shamefulcry:

Uhh don't starve yourself that = belly fat/adipose heheh :hehe:

The more you eat the more you speed up your metabolism (however, they have to be very small meals) I eat about 6-7 times a day but very small meals. That way I don't get any fat, I'm always full,never hungry, and have enough energy to workout. Just my 2 cent as a med student :) :bleh:

Hey there, I've been absent from this board for several months..but in surveying the posts to this thread i've gathered you are allergic to shrimp...fear not. i myself have been to Japan and there are about a jillion dishes you could eat without worrying about "contamination" from shrimp....to say you have to relegate yourself to eating American food while in Japan is to do yourself a mighty disservice.

This dish which I've made at home is a Japanese dish...it's called kara-age which is basically Japanese fried chicken....it's utterly delicious and should present no problem with respect to your allergy.

You can eat sooooo many Japanese foods without having to worry about shrimp...seriously.

I'm sure many have been mentioned here already:

Yakitori (grilled chicken)
Yakiniku (grilled meat)
Tonkotsu ramen (pork bone based broth noodles)
Shabu Shabu (hot pot with thinly sliced beef, vegetables, and tofu, cooked in a thin stock at the table and dipped in a soy or sesame-based dip before eating. thin sliced meat cooked in boiling water)
Sukiyaki (Thin sliced meat cooked in soy sauce, mirin, and sugar usually dipped in egg)
Tonkatsu (fried cutlet of pork)
katsudon (ƒJƒc˜¥) is a popular Japanese food; it is a bowl of rice topped with a deep-fried pork cutlet, egg, and condiments
Sushi (myriad number of raw fish)
Tebasaki (fried chicken wings - Japanese style)
Unagi (salt water eel)
Anego (fresh water eel)
Katsudon (deep fried pork cutlet garnished with egg over rice)
Kushikatsu (skewered meat, vegetables or seafood, breaded and deep fried...like yakitori but instead of grilled skewers it's fried skewers)
Tempura (deep-fried vegetables or seafood in a light, distinctive batter)
Gyoza (fried or steamed dumplings)
Kakuni (chunks of pork belly stewed in soy, mirin and sake with large pieces of daikon and whole boiled eggs. The Okinawan variation, using awamori, soy sauce and miso)
Nikujaga(beef and potato stew, flavoured with sweet soy)
Agedashi dofu(cubes of deep-fried silken tofu served in hot broth)


to name a FEW....I've had all these dishes and none of them have shrimp so don't despair...because if you go to Japan and resort to eating crappy American food you will have lost a grand opportunity to partake in the incredible variety that is Japanese cuisine.

OH MY GOD WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWw
Dude what can I do to repay ya, this is exactly what I've been looking for.
You have no idea how happy I am right now (I wish I could express my huge smile right now through these words) THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU :bow:
YOU FREAKING ROOOCKKKKKKKKKK :victory:

Note: tempura and gyoza I have to worry about actually, due to cross contamination. Tempura is fried and the allergens from the shrimp stay on the oil so yeah is equally as dangerous but either way that list is amazinnngggggg.

hehe. i wish i had some at the time...but given the fact that i marinated the bird with garlic, ginger, salt, and pepper it still had flavor sans dipping sauce. very tasty actually although it doesn't quite compare to some karaage that i've had at musha and the like.

since you mentioned that wonder that is ponzu.....here ya go.

Rest assured, there are a billion delcious foods that don't have anything to do with shrimp.....you should be fine, if someone says otherwise they are on crack.

and if worse comes to worst just ask, "kono tabemono no naki ni ebi ga arimasu ka?" <is there shrimp in this food?>

Well with most allergy related deaths is always the cross contamination which keeps us allergic people in panic mode. The issue is that while a dish may not contain shrimp or shellfish, the fact that it was cooked where a dish with shrimp was cooked, or touched by someone who was handling shrimps, is enough to trigger an allergic reaction. (I always put the example of the girl who died from kissing her boyfriend which had eaten a peanut butter sandwich, and keep in mind peanut allergies are a joke compared to shrimp allergy the worse of it's kind)

I've been to an izakaya before and eaten some takoyaki and didn't have a serious allergic reaction but there was definitely some slight cross contamination where they cooked/grilled the chicken as I got a slight hive reaction on my skin and had to drink a benadryl right away.

Half the time is not really the dish, but how is prepared hehe.
I wonder if those Japanese places where they cook infront of you and stuff are super expensive? cause that would eliminate the chances of getting any cross contamination.

You are referring to teppanyaki restaurants.....they aren't necessarily expensive....moreover although I do understand your concern you can always go to places that specialize in certain foods (and that don't serve shrimp) and you should be fine....like a famous tonkatsu restaurant (breaded fried pork cutlet) like Tonki.

Tu always comes up with the best food pics... his or someone else's...
