Japanese: Toriniku to Ebi no Ketchup Itame. “Toriniku” is Japanese for chicken and “ebi” is shrimp. “Itame” means stir fry. This dish is a little sweet and a little sour. Kids like it, and you can even cook it with pineapple if you want it to be a little sweeter. I prefer savory tastes, as most Japanese do, so I’ve omitted the pineapple here.

I think she meant yellow paprika Dawn :-)
Isn’t papilla, yellow bell pepper, or yellow paprika in some countries?

Katakuriko is called potato starch flour in the west. Usually found in the baking aisle next to the corn starch in most major supermarkets. Love the website!
What is papilla? Where can I find it?
You’re welcome!

Katakuriko is a very common Japanese starch. Amazon.com has it: Katakuriko If you can’t find it corn starch will work in a pinch.
