Recently, compare four or five years ago,
we can buy Japanese food easily, even the Pak'n.

Natto is one of Japanese foods,
Natto is high protein and high nutritional value.

In Japan, it is quite cheap.
Here, it is expensive.

So, I tried to make the Nattos which is used soy beans!

Upon searching on the Internet I discovered how to make Natto,
which is made from just soy beans and a bit of commercial Nattos.
I bought commercial Nattos at the Asian shop.
Unfortunately, I could not find out soy beans.
Instead of it, I try to uses mung beans of India.

I hope mung beans could be Nattos.

If it is succeeded, I will write how to make Nattos on blog..

Do you Know Japanese-Sake?

Do you know Sake-Kasu?

Sake-Kasu means Sake lees.

Smell is like Sake.  But alcohol degree is so low.

My friend brought back it from Jpan for me.

At lunch tme, she made soup of Sake-Kasu for me.

Since I move in NZ from Japan, I could not make the soup.

Oh!  What Its soup was so tasty!

Also, I eat two times of a big soup bowl.

Since I begin to live in NZ, I never cooked the cuttlefish.

However, every I found it, the size was so large. 
I did not want to eat the large one.

At last, I found out the good size.
I was so glad, and bought it.

I cooked with sugar, soy sauce and red hot pepper paste.
M~~!  It was so nice taste and flavor.
If it was used a little bit Japanese "sake" and "Mirin", it might be the vest taste.
I had not them.

After cooking, the smell was fish smell all rooms.
Even so, I was a comfortable smell.

A-chan said, "do not cook once more again".
He does not like fish smell.

Never mind!
I had eaten for two days.

 

This picture is my simple and easy dinner of one day.

Hi kenzo-san,

See a photo, I cooked “Maki-konbu” of the right dish and used ‘Katsuo-bushi” for the left dish.
Say “thank you very much” to your mum in Hong Kong, please.

The left dish is a small pumpkin and brown rice that is covered vegetables;
which I cooked asparagus, small carrot and mushrooms with red spicy and
a little bit soy sauce, and later I put these vegetable with dry sliced bonito that
your mum gave me.
So nice, OISHI-I!

The right dish, “Maki-konbu” that your mum gave me, with carrot  and yams were cooked for 30 minutes with low temperature.  
It was easy cooking!
The Konbu is a kind of sea prant and healthy food.

Both was so good taste.  Also, I was satisfied!!

Generally, Japanese foods are healthy food.

Do not be surprised.

How to Make the Carrot Cake without an Oven

This is a very simple recipe.  The next Saturday, I am going to make the Carrot Cake.  In ChCh, carrots are the reasonable price at the vegetable shop, and they are so sweet.  Incidentally, when I was living in Kobe, a carrot was expensive price.  I remembered it!

Ingredients:

- Butter、バター--- 40g  

- Eggs、卵--- 3    

- Sugar、砂糖--- 2/3cup   

- Cinnamon powder、シナモン粉--- just a little

- Flour、薄力粉--- 1 cup

- Carrot、人参--- one (chopped into small pieces)    

- Walnut pieces,  砕いたクルミ--- two big spoonfuls

Procedure:

1) Beat three eggs thoroughly, pour into a warm bowl and add the sugar.

2) Add the carrot and walnuts.

3) Blend the flour and cinnamon powder, sieve it and mix it in lightly.

4) Place the butter into a warm 19cm x 8cm (approx.) thick-style fry pan.

5) Coat the fry pan with the melted butter and add the left over butter to the bowl, mixing it in lightly.

6) Add the contents of the bowl to the fry pan and pat the bottom of the fry pan to release any trapped air.

7) Cook for about two minutes at medium temperature and then lower the temperature for another 20-25 minutes.  Test the cake using a wooden skewer.  When the skewer comes out clean, the cake is ready!

Garden Lemons are beautiful.

Recently my student gave me lots of lemon from her garden. 
The colour  is so pretty.
This garden lemons are elegant smell.

I like it more than supermarkets. I made up freezing lemons.  I am using it to any cooking every day.  Now they become one of my secret a flavour.  In Japanese, secret a flavour means “KAKUSHI-AJI”   The “KAKUSHI-AJI” is important Japanese cooking way.  It makes more a good taste to our tongue, doesn’t it?

お庭でとれたレモン。
最近に生徒さんのお一人がご自分の庭に出来たレモンを沢山くださいました。庭で取れたレモンってすっぱくなくて甘みがあるしレモンの香りがホンワカしてて　そのままでも頂けるんですね。沢山あるし冷凍にしてみようとやってみましたら大成功です。毎日隠し味として使かえるので重宝してます。
