The difference resides in the way of cooking and ingredients.
Here is a favourite Japanese recipe you can enjoy all year round with Japanese sake, shochu or beer!

-Egg: 1
-Japanese sake: 1 tablespoon
-Salt: half a teaspoon
-Soy sauce: 1 tablespoon
-Sesame oil: 1 teaspoon
-Cornstarch: 2 tablespoons
-Flour: 2 tablespoons
-Deep-frying oil
-Greens/green leaves: for decoration
RECIPE:
-Mix well all ingredients in a larg bowl.
-Shape balls of your preferred size (small is best!)

how tasty 8) perfect for the next hockey game on TV! Are they usually served with a dipping sauce? I’m thinking peanut or sweet and sour might be yummy.

These are served as they are as they are already well seasoned. A lttle salt or garted ginger maybe would be ok!
