Process until smooth. - Set this and the other cod pieces in fridge until ready to deep fry. - Julienne (thin stick pieces) carrot. Mix with mayonnaise, balsamic vinegar, and black pepper. Set aside. - Simmer dashi broth in a saucepan and place bonito flakes in. Allow to simmer for 5 minutes. Remove bonito flakes. Chop and mix soy sauce and sesame oil. - Cut bacon into 1 inch pieces and yellow onion into half moon crescrent slivers. In a saucepan, add the dashi broth (from earlier) and add the bacon and onions. Bring to boil then simmer for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, add miso paste. Stir and fully dissolve and leave on low heat until assembly. - For nori spheres, tear nori sheet into small pieces and place into food processor/blender. Add soy sauce and dashi broth and process until fully combined and the nori sheets are completely processed. Pour into a bowl and add 2 tsp sodium alginate. Whisk thoroughly until fully dissolved. This can take up to 10 minutes with manual whisk and 5 minutes with electric whisk. In a separate bowl, dissolve calcium chloride with room temperature water. Take a dropper and drop the nori mixture into the water. Gently rinse the spheres with water afterwards to remove any excess calcium taste. - For dipping sauce, combine mayonnaise with tobasco sauce or pickled item and taste to adjust. - For tempura batter, combine water and egg in a bowl then slowly add flour until reaches desired consistency. Try not to use a whisk! - Preheat oil to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. - Lightly coat cod spears in flour then dip in the tempura batter. Deep fry for a total of 8 minutes or 4 minutes on each side. - Optionally lightly coat chikuwa in flour. Add chopped nori pieces to tempura batter then dip chikuwa into the batter. - Deep fry for a total of 6 minutes or 3 minutes on each side. - For the thickened sauce, heat dashi broth in a small sauce pan. Add 1/4 into a bowl and add 1 tbsp starch. Dissolve the starch then add the mixture back into the saucepan. Whisk to combine and thicken.
