I had some joshinko left over and a member of the COOKPAD taught me how to use it up, from what she saw it on an NHK TV show. I adopted the stew recipe and changed it into a white sauce recipe. It does not contain butter, so it is healthy and is easy on your stomach. I use this recipe all the time for my family.

Make sure the joshinko is dissolved in the milk for a while before use. It should be about 10 minutes. This is very important! You can use it right after dissolving it, but the smell of the flour remains and the texture is not too good, so let it settle. Adjust the ratio of the milk and joshinko to your preference. There are two different kinds of joshinko; one is 100% non-glutinous rice flour and the other one contains some regular rice flour. Choose the 100% non-glutinous rice flour. Recipe by chako mama

Steps

1

For white sauce: For use in doria or gratin, 150 ml of milk per person is an adequate amount. Multiply the number of servings by 150 ml. The amount of the joshinko is 1 tablespoon flour for 100 ml of milk, so you can calculate the total amount to use from the amount of the milk.
2

In a saucepan, add the milk and dissolve the joshinko and set it aside (see the Helpful Hints). Cook it over medium heat stirring well as the joshinko tends to sink to the bottom. Once the milk warms up, it thickens quickly, so keep an eye on the sauce and stir constantly. Once the sauce thickens, season it with salt and pepper and it is done.
3

Pour the sauce over a doria or gratin ingredients, top it with cheese and bake it in the oven until golden brown. The taste of the sauce is subtle, but the doria or gratin filling have strong tastes and they go well together. My family has not noticed that the white sauce has changed.
4

For stew or chowder: Follow your normal recipe with your favorite ingredients. Add water to barely cover the ingredients before seasoning it with salt and pepper. Dissolve the joshinko in the milk that is the same amount as the water added.
5

Once the ingredients are cooked, add the milk & joshinko mixture, stir and cook until thickened, and it is done.
6

This is a potato gratin. It is made in a 21 cm-sized large dish. It is a tad over-baked.
7

This is individual-sized doria.
8

This is a shrimp chowder.
9

This is a cream stew. If you add some curry powder when you sauté the vegetables, it becomes a curry flavored stew.
