Freeze-Storing Aburaage & Green Onions

I always freeze aburaage and green onions.
I thought mixing those two ingredients and freezing them would come in handy, so I wrote this recipe up.
It's also delicious to use tempura batter bits instead of aburaage.
It's better to use the green part (soft part) of the green onions when you won't be freezing them.
Freezing and defrosting green onions before using them will let them soften as if they were cooked! Recipe by yakopuyo

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Cut the aburaage into very small pieces so that it will absorb the flavour (it's easier to cut once it's frozen).
- 2
Cut the green onions into small pieces. Only use the hard parts between white roots and light green parts. Put it in a bag with Step 1, mix well, then freeze.
- 3
Add as much of the frozen ingredients to steaming hot miso soup as you like and enjoy.
- 4
You can use the mixture for kakeudon (udon noodles in hot broth), tsukeudon (dipping udon noodles in sauce), or other noodle dishes as a topping or seasoning. They come in handy any time.

Simmered Komatsuna Greens and Aburaage Simmered Komatsuna Greens and Aburaage
The cookbook version of this recipe was too strongly seasoned, so I always season it my way now. The flavor is different every time. I wanted to remember how I make it, so I measured out the seasonings and wrote it down here.- I used light soy sauce because it makes the flavor of the dashi broth and the color of the komatsuna turn out beautifully. - I like that komatsuna doesn't have to be blanched because it doesn't have bitterness.- You'll get more water-soluble vitamins because the short cooking time keeps them from cooking off. This recipe yields enough to fill one small-medium sized bowl. Recipe by Kichiri-monja. cookpad.japan -

How to make Aburaage for Inarizushi How to make Aburaage for Inarizushi
My friend confirmed with me that she got this recipe from a very old cookbook for Japanese dishes. This aburaage tastes wonderful although it only requires the simplest ingredients. I'm quite lazy, and yet I stopped buying aburaage for inarizushi after I learned this recipe.I've omitted the steps to strain the oil from the aburaage. Make sure to do it if it bothers you. You only use the minimum ingredients when making 8 sheets. So, once the mixture boils and the ingredients melts, turn the heat very low and let the seasonings soak into the aburaage. Take care not let it burn. Recipe by Suppaiko cookpad.japan
