Spicy Togarashi Seafood Stir-Fry

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Main Courses Quick Meals
'Shichimi Togarashi' (Seven Flavor Chili) is Japan's iconic spice blend. This dish channels the Japanese Izakaya style: quick heat, intense flavors, and fresh seafood. The chili heat is balanced by nutty sesame oil and citrus notes, while the seafood is cooked just enough to remain juicy.

Instructions

1 ✓

Clean prawns, cut fish into 1-inch cubes. Pat completely dry.

Tip: Water creates steam, preventing a good sear.
2 ✓

Heat oil in wok until smoking. Add crushed garlic and fry for 10-20 seconds.

Tip: Be fast; garlic burns instantly in hot oil.
3 ✓

Add fish and prawns. Sear on high heat for 2-3 minutes until prawns are pink.

Tip: Do not overcrowd the pan.
4 ✓

Add mussels, sprinkle with Togarashi, and splash with soy sauce. Toss for 1 minute.

Tip: Soy sauce caramelizes on the hot pan, creating an umami glaze.
5 ✓

Remove from heat, squeeze lime juice over top, and toss with cilantro.

Tip: Acid should be added off-heat to stay fresh.

Recipe FAQ

What is in Togarashi?
Usually chili, orange peel, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, hemp, sansho pepper, and nori.
Why is my shrimp rubbery?
Likely overcooked. Seafood cooks in moments; it's done as soon as it turns pink and opaque.
