Hello, this is MAHARI!
Although halal food is gradually becoming known in Japan, few foods and restaurants are still halal-certified.
This time, we would like to introduce the halal food “Green Onion Pancake” which Muslims can safely eat at home.
Green Onion Pancake
Green onion pancake is a thin-baked rice cake. It is called “Usuyaki-mochi” in Japanese.
It is local food in Taiwan and is called “Cong you bing” (Reference: Gyomu Super Product Site).
It is crunchy on the outside, and when you bite into it, the oil spreads in your mouth sizzling.
The main ingredient is green onions and does not contain any animal products, so even vegetarians are welcome!
Similar textures include Malaysian “Paratha” and Middle Eastern “Mulawwah“.
why not try it if you come to Japan and miss the food of your hometown?
It also has a Taiwanese halal certification mark!
By the way, the product itself is Frozen, so store it in the freezer when you buy it.
Also, each mochi is separated by tracing paper so that they don’t stick to each other!
Where can you buy it?
These are imported from Taiwan by Kobe Bussan, which operates Gyomu Super.
Therefore, this product is only available at Gyomu Super.
How much are they?
One pack contains 5-pieces for 378 yen + tax.
How do they taste?
There are three types of thin rice cakes: plain, basil, and spinach.
Although the ingredients are the same, each has a different color and flavor, so you can enjoy it without getting bored.
How to eat them?
The frying pan you need is one to cook.
On the other hand, if you use cooking utensils or electrical appliances other than a frying pan, you won’t be able to eat deliciously.
Always cook in a frying pan, not in a microwave, toaster, or oven.
Bake it in a frying pan
You don’t need to use any oil.
Just bake it in a frying pan.
*Oil is kneaded into the thin mochi so the oil will melt out while baking.
The color of it will change after 2-3 minutes.
Bake inside out
When the color changes, turn it over.
Once it has a beautiful brown color, let it cook for another 2-3 minutes!
If it is overcooked, it will become crunchy and the overall texture will become hard, so please adjust according to your taste.
Complete
It’s barely big enough to put on a plate with a diameter of about 20cm.
An excellent dish to eat!
If you want the taste, you can sprinkle it with cream cheese or honey.
Finally
How was it?
Gyomu Super sells a lot of halal-certified foods, so I will continue to introduce recommended halal foods!
