Simple Osechi Dish (Not Actually Pounded) Pounded Burdock Root!

This is the recipe my mother came up with after a long process of trial and error to recreate her favorite pounded burdock root dish--one that she chose by taste testing at different eateries. It has since become a family favorite.The burdock root should weigh about 230 g unrinsed with skin on, and 200 g after prepping. It's important to preserve the "bite" of the burdock root, so be careful not to over cook in Step 2. Recipe by Nanaiku

I bought a bent but fresh burdock root from a local farm. My mother would always add some sort of burdock root dish for "Osechi (new years feast)." I seasoned the dish with soy sauce malt I made this year.As for the soy sauce malt, I used 300 grams of dehydrated rice malt and 450ml of dark soy sauce. If you don't have soy sauce malt, use regular soy sauce and bonito flakes. If you use shio-koji, use about 1 tablespoon. Recipe by Hakuundou

This is a delicious wintertime simmered dish. It's great in special occasion bentos for sports festivals or picnics, too.Prep the vegetables properly.

I like vinegar, but I'm not a fan of food that so vinegary that your lips pucker when you put it in your mouth. So I came up with my own recipe for mildly vinegary pickled lotus root.

These are delicious!My daughters can't put their chopsticks down, since they make a perfect complement to sake, neither can I!One serving for our new year's osechi is not enough, so I always make these three times!The key to this recipe is the thickness of the sauce.

It should be just thick enough that you can see the bottom of the pan when you scrape it. For 4 to 5 servings. Recipe by Cake to pan no sensei

If I have any leftovers, I bake a cake and use this as a Mont Blanc style cream on top.In step 1, if you don't add any chestnut in sweet syrup paste, it will be regular kuri kinton.Please adjust the sugar to suit your taste.If you cook the puree down too much, it's going to get hard when it cools, so make sure not to do that.You do not have to add in the mirin and the sugar syrup.

I came up with this recipe because I had a lot of radishes, and also because I thought chrysanthemum radishes would be pretty and easy to eat.If left for some time, the red of the radishes will transfer to the white parts. The entire radish will turn red in half a day. You could also simply rub salt into the radish without marinating in vinegar to make lightly pickled radishes. These are also amazing.

I modified a recipe that my mum taught me and used a food processor.For Step 1, if you peel the skin off the sweet potatoes thickly, the kinton will look better when it's done.For Step 3, the more broth that you add, the smoother the kinton will taste.For Step 4, for people who like a stickier kinton, add a larger amount of syrup and a smaller amount of sugar.For Step 5, the kinton will firm up as it cools so please don't cook it down too much.

I make kobumaki every year for New Years. I change up the filling every year, and this year I used lightly seasoned chicken.The chicken is easier to roll if it's frozen in advance.Wrap the kombu and kanpyo loosely, since the kombu will swell while cooking.If you skim off any scum or bits of kombu that float to the surface diligently, the rolls will have a nice clean finish.I used chicken breast this time, but you can use salmon, pork, half-dried herring, wakasagi (a type of small fish), grilled haze fish, or whatever you like. For 15 rolls. Recipe by Keyua

My mother told me that dried persimmon taste great with daikon namasu pickles, so with the yuzu from my garden and flavorful dried persimmons, I made some daikon namasu.I'm posting it here for my own record.This tastes good if you make it during the day and serve it at night, but it's even better after a day, once the dried persimmon absorbs the juices. It will keep in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days if stored in a tight resealable container. For 4 servings. Recipe by Ponie

Enjoy the taste of Kuromame. I cooked Osechiryouri and put it in a plate. The center black soy beans in a white small bowl is Kuromame. This is my aunt's receipe.

The fried egg machine in my house baked a 15x15cm square, so I made a mold out of a cooking sheet and left it up to the oven . It will not over bake, and I have made it this for many years.This will crack if you roll it up tightly while it is still warm because it is thick, so roll it lightly and then re-roll it to make pretty datemaki rolls. Please adjust the cooking temperature and times according to your household oven. It is good to go once the surface turns golden brow . Recipe by kebeibiko
