Dishes Today, I tried making quick-pickled cucumbers. It's just a matter of slicing the cucumbers and soaking them in vinegar (and a few seasonings). The result was that quick-pickling made the cucumbers easier to eat. Eating cucumbers before a meal can help with blood sugar levels […]
Dishes Today, I tried making minestrone using thinly sliced pork. When it was done, even though I used thinly sliced pork, it was still about 2-3mm thick, so the pork was a bit too substantial. The flavor, however, had a good meaty umami, and the saltiness and tomato acidity were well-balanced […]
Dishes Today, I tried making minestrone with ground pork. Last time, I used fish and couldn't get rid of the smell, so I switched to meat. The finished dish didn't have the same smell as when I used fish. The consommé flavor and saltiness were just right, and the toma […]

Dishes Today, I tried making pork, konnyaku, and burdock root shigure-ni. This time, to eliminate uneven cooking, I stirred it while making it. The finished dish, perhaps because the simmering time was a bit short, had firm burdock root, and the soy sauce and sugar were more […] than usual.
