Ganmodoki
Ganmodoki
Ganmodoki (がんもどき, 雁擬き) is a fried tofu fritter made with vegetables, egg white and sesame seeds. Ganmodoki means pseudo-goose (gan (がん, 雁) + pseudo (もどき)). This is because ganmodoki is said to taste like goose; compare mock turtle soup. Ganmodoki is also called ganmo for short.[1]
In the Edo period, ganmodoki was a stir-fried konjac dish. A dish similar to the ganmodoki today was made by wrapping chopped up vegetables in tofu (much like a manjū) and deep frying it.
In the Kansai Region, Ganmodoki is called hiryōzu, hiryuzu or hirōsu, from the Portuguese word filhós.
