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." This is because ganmodoki is said to taste like goose; compare mock turtle soup. "Ganmodoki" is also called "Ganmo" for short.

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." ("fried cake").
