Kamaboko (Japan) Recipe

Directions

I was browsing through my book on Asian foods
today++nothing in surimi as such, but here's what it
says about Kameboko which is very similar, if not the
same thing... I suspect the process for making surimi
is much the same.

Firm, slightly rubbery-textured cakes of ground fish
are a popular ingredient in Japanese cooking. They
are added to soups, simmered dishes and noodles and
are served as hors d'oeuvre. The name comes from an
ancient word for the "cattail" reed. Fish is pureed,
bound with a starch-usually kuzu, arrowroot or potato
formed into blocks and steamed.

Sometimes food color-most often pink-red, but
occasionally green, yellow or brown-is brushed over
the top to give an attractive slice when cut.

It is sold in vacuum-sealed packs that should be
refrigerated and used within one week. To use, slice
kamaboko and add in final stages of cooking, as it
needs only to be heated.

The History of Recipes

Academics have tracked the existance of recipes far back into the far past, certainly as far into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further. In practice though, these, ancient cook books were just simple pictorial recipes for preparing meals.

As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we find a couple of interesting recipe books published in the 1300s ; a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these are not about the spicy food that appears on menues today, but instead descriptions of the types of food eaten by the upper classes of that time.

By the arrival of the 1900s, cook books are greatly in demand as a result of better eduction, increased leisure time and having more disposable income.
