Easy! Nostalgic Flavor! For Bentos or a Side-Dish! Soybean Pulp

I learned this recipe for soybean pulp from my grandmother long ago. It has a simple and light taste. I added a bit more sugar for sweeter result.
Instead of dashi stock + soy sauce, you can use store-bought mentsuyu.
At first, the flavor is a little thick, but you can gradually thin it out to get the flavor you prefer. Recipe by Nokosandon

Roughly mince the vegetables (not including the leek) and the konnyaku. Soak the burdock and lotus root to remove the astringent taste. Cut the chicken into small pieces.

When the chicken has cooked through, add the dashi stock, sugar, soy sauce, and sake. Let it simmer a little.
- 4
Add the okara to Step 3 and mix well to combine with the liquid. Continue cooking until the liquid has evaporated.
- 5
Once the liquid from Step 4 has evaporated, taste it and adjust the flavor as necessary. (Combine the soy sauce, sugar, water in a separate bowl and then add to the frying pan.)
- 6
Once properly seasoned, add the white part of the leek and the finely chopped green onions. Gently stir them in.

Arrange on a dish and it's done!

Easy Grainy Mustard Chicken (Great For Bentos Too) Easy Grainy Mustard Chicken (Great For Bentos Too)
I love grainy mustard so I thought up some ways to use it as a main ingredient. Adding a hint of wasabi really brings out the flavor and is delicious! It has a grown-up flavor, yet children can enjoy it too! Please try it out once before Christmas! I'm sure you'll like it!Be sure to prick the chicken well (especially in the case of chicken breast) with a fork and rub in the sake! Also, if you let the chicken sit for awhile after rubbing it, before adding the flour, it will be moist. Mustard goes really well with chicken, so please try it!

Very Handy for Bento! Chicken Breast Teriyaki Flavor Very Handy for Bento! Chicken Breast Teriyaki Flavor
Teriyaki sauce from McDonald's is very sweet, but the mayonnaise makes it even sweeter and thicker. But I really love it - Sometimes I really want to eat it.I tried to recreate the Teriyaki flavor.Make sure you fry the chicken breasts quickly over medium heat as it gets hard when over cooked. The coating will slide off if you over touch it when mixing with sauce. Discard the melted mayonnaise (smooth oil) (it's just oily and tasteless). Avoid using low fat mayonnaise as it does not melt well with heat. Recipe by moj cookpad.japan -
