How to Cook Deep Fried Chi-ai Tuna, Tatsuta-age

As I mentioned in my yesterday's entry, my husband and I cooked deep fried chi-ai tuna and it turned out so great. Chi-ai tuna is nutrient-rich food, which contains iron, taurine, vitamin A, D, B1 and B6. If you find fresh chi-ai tuna at Japanese supermarkets, you should try this recipe. It's pretty easy to cook. I'm going to share how to cook fried chi-ai tuna, tatsuta-age (マグロの竜田揚げ), with you. :)
