Shiitake Kaburamushi
The Umami taste of the Shiitake is locked inside the grated turnip. If don't use the egg white as soon as it foams, the foam will be lost, so please make sure you whip the egg white right before using. Rice flour can easily get lumpy, so make sure there are no lumps before you mix it with the other ingredients. Recipe provided by Hattori Nutrition College.
