Maeda Katakuriko - potato starch, 250g
Description
Discover the secret to smooth sauces, crispy coatings, and classic Japanese dishes with Katakuriko by Maeda!
This essential ingredient in the cuisine of the Land of the Rising Sun, once traditionally made from lily root (kanna), is now a high-quality, pure potato starch that plays a key role in many Japanese recipes. It’s perfect for thickening soups and sauces, especially in dishes like ankake (a thick sauce for rice or vegetables)—delivering a delicate, silky texture without a starchy aftertaste. It’s a must-have for dishes like karaage (Japanese-style fried chicken), as it wraps ingredients in a light, crispy coating without absorbing excess oil. Naturally gluten-free, it’s a great alternative to wheat flour for those following a gluten-free diet. Katakuriko is also used in traditional Japanese sweets (wagashi), for example, to dust mochi.
Maeda is a respected Japanese producer known for its commitment to purity and ingredient quality. Their Katakuriko stands out for its neutral taste, high clarity, and excellent solubility, making it ideal for both traditional and modern interpretations of Japanese cuisine.
