Sansai Gohan (Mountain Vegetable Rice)
21 08 2012
This is one of my favorite Japanese rice dishes. The mountain vegetables come in a pack in the refrigerated section of a Japanese grocery store. They are a mixture of all sorts of Japanese mountain vegetables like fiddlehead ferns and butterbur. I like them in rice and with noodles especially soba. I will give measurements in metric because that is how I learned in Japan.

Broiled Snapper with a Teriyaki-Butter Sauce

I made this as part of a Japanese meal the other night. It was delicious. If you cannot find snapper, substitute salmon, halibut, black cod, grouper, pike or char.

Miso Soup with Tofu and Wakame

A friend of mine asked me to put a basic miso soup recipe on my website. This can be used as a template for any type of miso soup. Basically you always want to start with dash, which is the Japanese fish stock. It is normally made with shaved bonito flakes but now you can make it with instant dashi powder or dashi packs that look like teabags. Basically you just make the dashi according to the package and then proceed from there. You can vary the type of miso. I often us a mix of red and white miso. White miso is sweeter and milder than the red. You can other vegetables or even seafood or chicken into miso soup. Be creative.
