Big hit! Thanks for posting. We just moved to Washington from Hawaii and have been missing some plate lunches.. I used regular flour since I couldn't find Mochiko at my local grocery store and didn't feel like hunting it down. After the first few batches I fried, I decided I wanted to add another 1/4 Cup of sugar and about a teaspoon for ground ginger.

I just made it everyone loved it. I live in hawaii but was to lazy to go get Mochiko flour so i used 3 tbs flour 5 tbs corn starch. I marinade it over night. I think next time i wont add the extra salt because shoyu has a lot of salt already. This recipe is a keeper and will be made again and again. Thanks so much for a great easy recipe.
