Choy Sum & Fried Tofu Mazegohan

This is a Japanese rice dish that I used to cook with a vegetable called ‘Komatsuna’ and ‘Abura-age’ (Fried Thin Tofu). Both of them are almost impossible to find where I live now. The best substitute for ‘Komatsuna’ is Choy Sum, and ‘Abura-age’ is almost same as Tofu Puffs. This substitute version of the dish tastes quite authentic to me. I am happy with the result.

Simple Bok Choy and Tuna Simmer Simple Bok Choy and Tuna Simmer
I had bok choy leftover from when I made hot pot, and was wondering what to do with it?! Just leave it to a simple simmer.I used up a lot of bok choy in no time! It really is simple. You might find yourself buying bok choy to make this.My mom used to make this simmer, but I added my own personal touches.I've gotten comments that the flavor is very strong. The strength of the flavor changes depending on how much bok choy you use, so use a lot.Sample the stock in step 3 and adjust the flavor as you prefer and you're sure to succeed.You'll get water from the bok choy, which gives it a slightly sweet and salty flavor, but the taste blends well and isn't too strong. I definitely recommend this. For serving about 4. Recipe by Kantan tenuki mama cookpad.japan -

Sautéed Yu Choy (aka Choy Sum) Sautéed Yu Choy (aka Choy Sum)
I’m lucky to have access to a great Asian supermarket and I’ve been slowly working my way through their bountiful vegetable selection. Yu Choy (also known as Choy Sum, or 菜心) is a leafy vegetable that tastes a little like a cross between bok choy and spinach, with a slight bitterness. It cooks quickly and makes a great side dish.#Vegetable #SideDish #Vegetarian #Healthy Chris Gan -

Simmered Komatsuna Greens and Aburaage Simmered Komatsuna Greens and Aburaage
The cookbook version of this recipe was too strongly seasoned, so I always season it my way now. The flavor is different every time. I wanted to remember how I make it, so I measured out the seasonings and wrote it down here.- I used light soy sauce because it makes the flavor of the dashi broth and the color of the komatsuna turn out beautifully. - I like that komatsuna doesn't have to be blanched because it doesn't have bitterness.- You'll get more water-soluble vitamins because the short cooking time keeps them from cooking off. This recipe yields enough to fill one small-medium sized bowl. Recipe by Kichiri-monja. cookpad.japan -
Kumamoto Nankan-age Ginger Rice Sushi Rolls Kumamoto Nankan-age Ginger Rice Sushi Rolls
Nankan-age is a type of flat fried tofu or aburaage, that is a traditional food speciality from the town of Nankan in Kumamoto prefecture. Each piece of Nankan-age is big, about 30cm long. They keep well, and have a different texture from regular aburaage. I combined sushi rice flavored with homemade new harvest ginger pickled in sweet vinegar and fragrant roasted sesame seeds with sweet-salty simmered Nankan-age for a "aburaage sushi roll with a twist."By simmering the Nankan-age, it absorbs lots of dashi stock and the flavoring ingredients and improves in flavor and texture. I wrapped ginger and sesame-accented sushi rice with richly flavored Nankan-age. The fillings of asparagus, crab stick and tuna are minimally flavored, to feature the inherent umami of the ingredients themselves. Recipe by Marire-nu cookpad.japan -

You could use komatsuna greens instead of bok choy!The cooking times for the bok choy stem and the leaves are different. The final result will be better if you add to the pan separately - stems and then leaves.Adjust the amount of salt to your liking. Recipe by JACK0904 cookpad.japan
