First, let’s prepare the ingredients.

まず材料を準備しましょう

Chop up the onion into fine pieces.

Grate the naga-imo yam with a grater.

For the tsukune sauce,

たれは

combine the soy sauce, sake,

醤油 酒

mirin,

みりん

water

水

and sugar.

砂糖を合わせて

Mix the sauce thoroughly.

よく混ぜておきます

Now, let’s combine the ground meat mixture.

肉だねを作りましょう

Add the salt to the ground chicken

ひき肉に塩を入れ

and knead it until the meat begins to look smooth

and turn kind of gooey.

混ぜます

Then, add the onion,

玉ねぎ

beaten egg,

卵

naga-imo yam,

長芋

grated ginger

おろし生姜

and potato starch.

片栗粉を加えます

Knead the mixture

肉と完全に混ざるまで

until the ingredients blend in completely with the chicken.

よく練ります

Put the vegetable oil into a pan

フライパンに油を入れ

and coat it evenly.

薄く広げます

Next, with your hand,

手で肉だねを

squeeze some of the mixture into a small ball

小さいボール状に絞り出し

and spoon it onto the pan.

スプーンでフライパンに並べます

Do the same for the rest of the chicken mixture.

残りも同様に並べていきます

And now, turn on the burner.

火をつけ

Fry the tsukune on medium heat.

中火で焼きます

When they have browned thoroughly,

こんがり焼けたら

flip the pieces over.

返します

Reduce the heat to low

弱火にして

and cook the inside.

中までしっかり火を通します

Now, mix the sauce again

たれをもう一度混ぜ

and pour it into the pan.

フライパンに注ぎます

Reduce the sauce until thickened.

とろみが出るまで少し煮詰めます

Then, flip the pieces over, coating them with the sauce.

裏に返し たれを絡めます

Turn off the burner

火を止め

and place the tsukune onto a plate.

お皿に盛ります

Sprinkle on the sansho pepper powder to taste.

お好みで粉山椒を振りかけます

Tsukune may also be grilled, deep-fried or simmered.

つくねは焼く 油で揚げる 煮るなどして

They are used in a variety of Japanese dishes.

いろんな料理に応用できます

If you can get a fresh egg intended to be eaten raw,

生で食べられる新鮮な卵が手に入るなら

break the yolk and dip the tsukune into it.

卵黄をつぶし つくねに絡めていただきます

It’s a good idea to store the boiled tsukune in the freezer

つくねは茹でて冷凍しておくと

so that you can easily prepare them when needed.

必要な時すぐ使えて便利です

Good luck in the kitchen.
