About Karaage

Karaage is a Japanese dish consisting of bite-sized pieces of meat, typically chicken, marinated in a blend of soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and other seasonings. The marinated chicken is lightly coated with flour or potato starch before being deep-fried to achieve a crispy, golden exterior while retaining its juicy interior. Originating from Japan, karaage is a popular comfort food and street snack, often served with rice, shredded cabbage, or a side of dipping sauces. Nutritionally, karaage is a good source of protein from the chicken. However, its deep-frying preparation makes it higher in calories and fat, which should be noted for those monitoring their intake. To make it healthier, alternative cooking methods such as air frying or baking can be used. Rich in flavor and versatile, karaage remains a beloved dish both in Japan and worldwide.
