Macrobiotic: Simmered Dried Daikon Radish and Koya Tofu

This is a really standard, basic macrobiotic recipe. It's sweet and packed with umami flavors, so everyone in our family loves it.
If you soak the kiriboshi daikon (with the usual method) the umami will run out into the soaking water. It's enough to just rinse it quickly Use firm koya tofu without leavening agents. It will have a lot more umami. Recipe by Ruruko

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Rinse the kiriboshi daikon briskly, but don't soak in water. Cut it up roughly. Cut the kombu thinly using kitchen scissors.
- 2
Soak the koya tofu in 70°C or so hot water for 30 minutes to rehydrate. Cut into 5 pieces lengthwise, and then slice thinly.
- 3
Heat a thick bottom pot. Add the vegetable oil and 1 pinch of salt, and stir fry the kiriboshi daikon. When the kiriboshi daikon is coated with oil, add just enough water to submerge. Add the thinly cut kombu as well. Bring to a boil.
- 4
When it comes to a boil, add the soy sauce and koya dofu. Simmer until there's no moisture left in the pan. Keep the pot covered with a lid until there's just a little moisture left.
- 5
Take the lid off once there's just a little moisture left in the pan. Be careful not to let it burn. Don't boil off all the moisture, or else the dish will become dried out.

Macrobiotic All-Purpose Stewed Daikon Radish Leaves and Dried Shiitake Mushrooms Macrobiotic All-Purpose Stewed Daikon Radish Leaves and Dried Shiitake Mushrooms
While trying to figure out what to do with my daikon radish leaves, I tried out various recipes, but I kept coming back to this one. It's delicious.When rehydrating the shiitake mushrooms, you can speed up the process by breaking them into smaller pieces, then soak them in water. For best results, you should put them in a jar with water the night before so they can be used right away; I recommend this method since they will be tasty... When I'm in a hurry, I just break them up. Recipe by moriam cookpad.japan -
Macrobiotic: Burdock Root Simmered with Umeboshi Macrobiotic: Burdock Root Simmered with Umeboshi
This is a staple of macrobiotic cooking. It's also a great dish to have if you're looking to detox your body. You can use whole umeboshi, but I just use the pits leftover after using the umeboshi in other dishes.The flavor of this dish will change according to the salt content of the umeboshi. Use good quality ingredients. If it isn't salty enough, use a little of soy sauce. Try using the umeboshi pits leftover after making rice balls. Don't clean the pits, they should have some of the umeboshi still attached. Simmer the burdock root for at least 2 hours. Make sure to check the pot occasionally to make sure there is not too much evaporation. Don't let it burn! Recipe by Ruruko. cookpad.japan -

Macrobiotic Tofu, Kabayaki Eel-style Macrobiotic Tofu, Kabayaki Eel-style
In an effort to cook a macrobiotic dish for myself while cooking for my family at the same time, I created this dish while making teriyaki horse mackerel with a paste made from umeboshi and shiso leaves... I was very satisfied.As you don't fry the nori seaweed with the tofu, you can taste the gentle and distinctive flavour more. It also imitates the eel's skin better. Be sure to serve it with sansho powder! (At least that's how I like it. ) The sansho adds a more authentic kabayaki taste. Recipe by moriam cookpad.japan -
Macrobiotic Tofu Tonkotsu Ramen Macrobiotic Tofu Tonkotsu Ramen
Here's a standard recipe of ours. It works really well as quick lunch, or a savory treat after to enjoy after drinks. It'll make a very light meal.Adding the soy milk last (not letting it boil) keeps it from breaking down.If you dissolve a little kudzu starch in the soy milk before adding it, it'll take on a thickness that'll help it from breaking down. So if you're concerned about the consistency of the soup, try some kudzu.If you have any soup left over, add some to your regular bowl of miso soup, it'll turn out delicious.

Macrobiotic: Simmered Sweet Potato & Apple Macrobiotic: Simmered Sweet Potato & Apple
Apple simmered in salt is a macrobiotic recipe, but adding sweet potato makes it taste like sweet chestnut paste. If you have time, simmering the apple well makes it soft right down to the core. The core is basically just a ball of energy.It's simply a salt simmer, but you'll be surprised by it's sweetness. When simmering the apple, if you use too much water it'll take a long time so be moderate with the amount. If it doesn't seem like enough, add a little at a time. If you don't have any Jonathan apples, Fuji apples are okay, but it may be a bit lacking in acidity so add a bit of lemon. It's plenty delicious as-is, but you can also use it as pie filling or serve it on top of crackers. ❤ Recipe by Ruruko cookpad.japan
