00:07Hello, it's Yuto from SudatsuRecipes.com. In today's video, I'm going to show you how to make
00:14Izakaya style Japanese potato salad. Anyway, here's the ingredients.
00:223 medium-sized potatoes, 1 third of medium-sized cucumber, 1 third of a medium-sized carrot,
00:3340 grams of bacon, 4 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, a pinch of sugar,
00:421 half teaspoon of sesame oil. First, peel the potatoes and carrot.
00:49Cut the potatoes into medium-sized chunks and boil the hob on a medium-high heat.
00:57While the potatoes are boiling, prepare the other ingredients. Cut the carrot into
01:035mm slices and then cut each circle slice into quarters.
01:23Cut the cucumber into 1-2mm slices. Once it's sliced, put it in a bowl and soak it in slightly
01:32salted water and set aside.
01:39Cut the bacon into small pieces and add to a frying pan on a medium-high heat. Cook until
01:47it's a little crispy. When it's done, set aside.
01:57When you can pierce the potatoes but they still feel a little hard, add the chopped carrots to
02:03the same pot. But you don't have to do it if you don't mind crunchy carrots.
02:10When the potatoes are soft enough to mush, remove them from the heat and drain. The carrots should
02:17be slightly softened but not mushy. Set the carrots aside and mush the potato in a separate
02:25bowl. Once the potatoes are mushed, add the bacon and carrot, then mix well.
03:00Drain the salted water of the cucumber and add the cucumber to the mashed potato and mix
03:09again. A pinch of sugar, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil. Add 4 tablespoons
03:38of mayonnaise, and mix well. Now you can serve and enjoy.
