Critical Success Points

  • Rehydrate the shiitake at least 2 hours before preparation.
  • Fry the balls at 180 °C to obtain a golden crust without burning.
  • Reduce the teriyaki sauce properly so it coats the balls without being too liquid.

Safety Warnings

  • Frying oil reaches 180 °C: handle with care, avoid splatters.
  • Use kitchen gloves or a long handle to remove the balls from hot oil.
  • Be careful with the knife when cutting vegetables.
