Refreshing Marinated Japanese Leeks

A marinated Japanese leek dish I had at a veggie restaurant once was so delicious, I wanted to come up with my own easy version using ponzu.
Since I love leeks in the winter when they're in season, I make a huge amount and keep a stock of this dish in the fridge.
It's best if you sprinkle on a generous amount of Krazy Salt.
Use the leftover marinade as dressing for salads or carpaccio. Recipe by Azuki milk

I modified a recipe I saw about 10 years ago in a magazine from an izakaya (Japanese gastropub).The vegetables tends to fall apart, so don't simmer for too long. This tastes better if the dashi stock is pretty strong. If there's not enough oil in the pan at Step 3, add a little more to taste, but if you add too much it will become oily, so wipe the excess at Step 4. For 4 servings.

I wanted to eat something simple and fresh tasting so I made this. It was surprisingly delicious. It's great added to udon noodles too.Use either ponzu sauce or mentsuyu sauce, whichever you prefer. Ponzu sauce is more refreshing and mentsuyu sauce has a sweet taste. If you're using a whole leek, put the green part in the boiling water first, then add the white part 5 seconds later. Double the seasoning ingredients if you're using the whole leek. For 1 serving. Recipe by miyuki12 cookpad.japan -

Winter Japanese Leek Stew Winter Japanese Leek Stew
It's winter time and I wanted to make a vegetable stew with Japanese leek instead of onions.Since you don't saute the vegetables with oil, the stew stays light and healthy.To add a wintry feel to your stew,use broccoli or cauliflower instead.I served it with tomato rice on the side.You can serve it with bread also.Cake flour is dissolved in soy milk before adding to the soup, so this way you don't have to worry about the flour clumping up.
