Mikä on Kanikama (rapujäljitelmä)?
Olet varmaan syönytkanikama- vaikka et sitä tajunnutkaan. It's the sticks of fake crab meat that's often used in the popular California roll. Also called imitation crab, kanikama is used as a crab substitute and made from surimi, which is a fish paste. The fish is first deboned and minced to make a paste, then it's flavored, colored and reformed into flakes, sticks or other shapes.
Kanikama ei yleensä sisällä rapua, paitsi pieni määrä rapuuutetta maun luomiseksi. Pollock on suosituin kala, jota käytetään surimin valmistukseen. The history goes back to 1974 when a Japanese company Sugiyo first produced and patented imitation crab meat.
