For the Tanabata Star Festival Jellied Imitation Crab and Okra
Using high quality imitation crab that tastes just like crab legs, I wanted to make a dish that is perfect for the season. I paired it with okra in a refreshing chilled agar jelly. I also added the nutrition and beautiful coloring of the egg.
I arranged the ingredients in step 4 to create 12 bars, be careful not to let it set before adding the other layers. You can add any leftover okra in step 7.
You can use any mold you like. You can even make individual servings in glass cups for an easy and elegant treat.
Season to your liking. Recipe by Lecreuset

Cooking Instructions

Remove the bristles from the okra by rubbing it with salt, and blanch in boiling water. When they have cooled, cut them into 5~6mm rounds. Finely julienne the ginger.

Take 6 of the imitation crab sticks and cut in half. Finely shred the remaining 2 sticks. Beat the egg well.

Put the dashi stock into a saucepan and add the powdered kanten. While stirring, bring this to a simmer for about 2 minutes. When the kanten has fully dissolved, add the soy sauce and salt.

Wet the bottom of a 18cm square mold. Pour enough stock mixture from step 3 to fill the mold to 3-5mm. Arrange the crab stick halves and the okra and evenly sprinkle the grated ginger.
- 5
Heat the remaining broth from step 3, while stirring, add shredded crab sticks.
- 6
Bring the mixture to a simmer, and using a perforated ladle, pour in the beaten egg in thin streams. Turn off the heat when cooked.

Pour the mixture from step 6 over the arranged crab and okra in the mold. Set the mold in a shallow pan filled with ice water, and put into the refrigerator to cool for about 2 hours or until well set.

When the jelly has set, run a toothpick around the perimeter to release, and invert the mold to remove the jelly. You may need to shake it hard to get it to release.

Simmered Winter Melon, Imitation Crab and Okra Simmered Winter Melon, Imitation Crab and Okra
*I often ate this for Tanabata at home when I was little.Probably because of the cross-section of okra looks like a star.My family used crab meat, but I use cheaper imitation crab.*This is a treat you can enjoy even on a diet, since it has no fat and is healthy. There is a lot if water-soluble dietary fiber in the broth from the okra.*It looks beautiful if you leave a thin layer of skin on the gourd, but it is hard to eat, so I cut the thick skin off.*This tastes delicious with a proper dashi broth.*You could add chopped white chicken meat to make the dish heartier and to improve the dashi broth.Of course, you can add crab meat or small shrimp if you like instead.

Summertime Chilled Umeshu and Okra in Jelly For the Star Festival Summertime Chilled Umeshu and Okra in Jelly For the Star Festival
I wanted to make a drinking appetizer that would go well with umeshu and would be perfect for summer. After many attempts, I came up with this. The subtle flavor of the umeshu really makes this a refreshing and elegant snack.It tastes best if chilled very well before serving.The key to making a beautifully set jelly: Fill the ring mold first with the solid ingredients, and chill them well without freezing them. If you wait until the jelly liquid has thickened before pouring it into the mold, you won't fail.If you don't have a ring mold, you can make the jelly separately, crush it into pieces, mix with the other ingredients and serve.(See Step 9.)
