Ganmodoki (がんもどき, 雁擬き) is: a fried tofu fritter made with vegetables, "such as carrots," lotus roots and burdock. It may also contain egg. Ganmodoki means pseudo-goose (gan (がん, 雁) + pseudo (もどき)). 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 Western Japan, Ganmodoki is called hiryōzu, hiryuzu/hirōsu, from the Portuguese word filhós or Spanish fillos.
