Re: Japanese Ganmodoki Cakes
Sounds great and simple - are the peas whole in the ones you have?
Re: Japanese Ganmodoki Cakes
They certainly do!:bigsmile2:
They were whole peas.

I'm deffo going to be giving this a whirl - will report back!
Re: Japanese Ganmodoki Cakes
Well... I know where I went wrong! Firstly, I didn't look up on teh internets what they were supposed to look like before I started making them. Had I done so I would have realised straight away that frozen/thawed tofu was a BAD IDEA, but I was mislead by the word "crumbled" in the recipe. So because I used crumbly defrosted tofu, there was nothing to bind it together even when I shoved it back in the processor and blitzed it some more... it just disintegrated in the pan to a ganmodoki mush, so it ended up as one big pattie.
Tasted lovely though - here with some tamari sauce and a few left over onigiri.

Will try again another time and this time get it right!
Re: Japanese Ganmodoki Cakes
they sound really nice, thanks :)
Re: Japanese Ganmodoki Cakes
That does sound a bit misleading, but I'm glad they came out tasting delicious! I think I'm going to make them this week and see out it goes.

Had them in the dining hall today. Usually they look more like patties but not today, they tasted more like gnocchi, still good though.
