I can't tell from the picture or description (I'd need to eat one or see a cutaway of it), but it's soybeans, squid, shrimp, and peanut. The Japanese calls them "shrimp peas", and usually "peas" means that what is inside the coating is soybeans (not peanut), and I can't tell if they are the same even if Orchid64https://www.blogger.com/profile/07132543155589881288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893380621848637984.post-16184907272328138332012-11-06T09:02:10.316-08:002012-11-06T09:02:10.316-08:00Aren't these a similar thing :

However, I'm not sure that the added coating really does much other than add extra carbs and texture. That being said, given how fatty all nuts are, I'm not sure that's a bad thing. ;-)<br /><br />Thanks for commenting!Orchid64https://www.blogger.com/profile/07132543155589881288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893380621848637984.post-65628452258606872212012-11-02T14:21:00.903-07:002012-11-02T14:21:00.903-07:00Chili Pepper: Thank you for your very interesting ...Chili Pepper: Thank you for your very interesting comment (and for reading this blog!).<br /><br />I think we tend to perceive food based on its price and availability around us and Chinese food has been around in the U.S. longer than Japanese (and it does tend to cost less than other restaurant food).
