Macrobiotic: Stewed Kuromame (Remedy for Sore Throats)

I posted this recipe because my friend said she lost her voice and I wanted to treat it with a macrobiotic remedy. I hear it's also good for blood circulation and for people with high blood pressure, and beautifies the skin as well.
If you have time, soak the kuromame in water for about 6 hours before cooking. They will become soft a lot quicker.
The photo is of the kuromame, not the drink. I will upload a photo of the drink eventually... Recipe by Ruruko

Cooking Instructions

Heat the kuromame in water. When the pot comes to the boil, turn the heat down to low, and simmer until the water has reduced by a half.
- 2
Take out the liquid and add the salt. Drink this in 2 or 3 batches throughout the day.
- 3
As for the kuromame, if they are still hard, add a little water and simmer until soft. They are tasty as they are.

If you season them lightly with salt, they're a little like edamame, and are delicious. It also great if you add sugar, but it's probably not good for you to have every day.

Macrobiotic: Burdock Root Simmered with Umeboshi Macrobiotic: Burdock Root Simmered with Umeboshi
This is a staple of macrobiotic cooking. It's also a great dish to have if you're looking to detox your body. You can use whole umeboshi, but I just use the pits leftover after using the umeboshi in other dishes.The flavor of this dish will change according to the salt content of the umeboshi. Use good quality ingredients. If it isn't salty enough, use a little of soy sauce. Try using the umeboshi pits leftover after making rice balls. Don't clean the pits, they should have some of the umeboshi still attached. Simmer the burdock root for at least 2 hours. Make sure to check the pot occasionally to make sure there is not too much evaporation. Don't let it burn! Recipe by Ruruko. cookpad.japan -

Macrobiotic All-Purpose Stewed Daikon Radish Leaves and Dried Shiitake Mushrooms Macrobiotic All-Purpose Stewed Daikon Radish Leaves and Dried Shiitake Mushrooms
While trying to figure out what to do with my daikon radish leaves, I tried out various recipes, but I kept coming back to this one. It's delicious.When rehydrating the shiitake mushrooms, you can speed up the process by breaking them into smaller pieces, then soak them in water. For best results, you should put them in a jar with water the night before so they can be used right away; I recommend this method since they will be tasty... When I'm in a hurry, I just break them up. Recipe by moriam cookpad.japan -

Macrobiotic: Anko (Sweet Adzuki Bean Paste) Macrobiotic: Anko (Sweet Adzuki Bean Paste)
I wanted to eat macrobiotic sweets.The raisins blend in easier with the adzuki if you mince them. Be sure to add salt, as it will help bring out the sweetness of the beans.Adding dried persimmons takes away the acidity for a more natural flavor; but since dried persimmons aren't always available, raisins may be best.

Macrobiotic: Simmered Sweet Potato & Apple Macrobiotic: Simmered Sweet Potato & Apple
Apple simmered in salt is a macrobiotic recipe, but adding sweet potato makes it taste like sweet chestnut paste. If you have time, simmering the apple well makes it soft right down to the core. The core is basically just a ball of energy.It's simply a salt simmer, but you'll be surprised by it's sweetness. When simmering the apple, if you use too much water it'll take a long time so be moderate with the amount. If it doesn't seem like enough, add a little at a time. If you don't have any Jonathan apples, Fuji apples are okay, but it may be a bit lacking in acidity so add a bit of lemon. It's plenty delicious as-is, but you can also use it as pie filling or serve it on top of crackers. ❤ Recipe by Ruruko cookpad.japan -
