My mother usually gives me vegetables and fruits, but this time, she gave me boiled octopus. I'm so obsessed with butter and ponzu sauce these days that I cooked the octopus with it.I used garlic powder to make this recipe simple, but you could also use chopped or tubed garlic. In that case, add butter and stir-fry over low heat until it releases a nice aroma before adding the octopus. For about 3 servings. Recipe by Takuchi

As you only have the aroma instead of eating the actual garlic, the smell doesn't linger as long and you don't have garlicky breath afterward.I wrote "100 ml or more" for the amount of soy sauce, because you first use enough soy sauce to just cover the garlic cloves. Afterward, you can add as much soy sauce as you like. The aroma is best if you use it up within one week. The garlic changes colour, so take them out after about 3 days. Recipe by Yukoai_yukoi

This is my parents' summer recipe that I now serve to my own family.If the zucchini and potato are very large, cut vertically in half before slicing. If thin, cut into disks.[Regarding the amount of soy sauce] If you're going to eat it right away, 2 tablespoons is fine, but the longer you wait, the stronger the flavor gets. If you're going to wait before eating the recipe, use less soy sauce. For 3-4 servings. Recipe by Run

I think that vinegar dishes taste great in the summer. I substituted the sesame oil from the cucumber vinegar dish that I normally make with mustard, and made a Chinese-style version.Make sure to check the flavor before serving it. Add salt if it is weak, or add a little water if it is too strong. It also tastes great if you substitute mustard for julienned or grated ginger. Recipe by Iku..
