In Season Sweet Onion and Shio-koji Ohitashi In Season Sweet Onion and Shio-koji Ohitashi
Our family's way to enjoy sweet onions is to eat them raw, and as simply as possible.I usually use soy sauce, but this time I tried using shio-koji. A bit of soy sauce is added for fragrance.To keep the sweetness and the nutrition of the sweet onions, don't soak in water.When this is freshly made, the harshness and sweetness of the onion are well defined, but as it rests the sweetness becomes more dominant.Drink up the liquid too! This ohitashi will help keep your blood clean. Recipe by Mimato cookpad.japan -

Personally, I'm not such a big fan of okra, but Mrs Wyrm is. One day we ate at our favourite Japanese restaurant and we were served a side dish of marinated okra salad that she found wonderful. I've tried to replicate that here. Originally based on a recipe from Just One Cookbook by Namiko Chen, with some changes based on Mrs Wyrm's preference for well-cooked okra, and hints from Ishikawa-san, the chef at our favourite restaurant. 🇯🇵 蛟龍Stormwyrm -
Turnip Greens in Japanese Broth (kabu-ohitashi) Turnip Greens in Japanese Broth (kabu-ohitashi)
I hate to throw away the greens from the turnips because they taste so good! One of my favorite ways to cook is to make a "Ohitashi" dish which is simply cooking vegetables in a light Japanese broth ("dashi"). The broth is the made flavor, so it's best to make a good tasting homemade broth (not instant!). I'll show you how to make a broth with katsuo-bushi (bonito flakes) here ^^ Sachiko -

Onion Okonomiyaki Onion Okonomiyaki
An okonomiyaki fan taught me this recipe. If you use onions, Awaji Island or Hokkaido onions are great. Crispy and sweetly spicy okonomiyaki sauce is also a good match. Great while drinking a beer or Highball.- The amount of water differs from the instructions on the okonomiyaki flour package, but the onions will release water, so there's enough!- You can add a second egg to the batter if you wish.
