Spring Flavor using Sweet Shio-koji ♪ Blanched Nanohana with Vinegar Sauce
cookpad.japan @cookpad_jp
I figured the aroma of the versatile shio-koji could stand in for miso, so I tried making something in the style of vinegar miso sauce.
The stems of the nanohana I used were around 1 cm thick, so if yours are different, adjust the boiling time. The sauce can get a little watery, so add it immediately before serving. Adding a little mustard paste is also delicious ♪ Otherwise, you can add oil (olive oil, etc.) to the seasoning to make a quick dressing ♡ Recipe by kebeibiko

- 1
Cut 1 cm off of the end of the nanohana stems, and soak the bottom ends of the nanohana in water to crisp them up.
- 2
In a large pot of boiling water add a little salt (not listed), and holding the leaf ends of the nanohana, cook the stem end of the greens for about 30 seconds, using cooking chopsticks to keep the stems underwater.
- 3
Flip the nanohana over and boil for a further 20 seconds, and afterwards, boil the whole nanohana until the leaves turn a uniform dark green (about 30 seconds). Remove and cool in ice water.
- 4
Drain well, and cut into 3-4cm pieces. Shake out even more water it possible.
- 5
Mix together the sweet shio-koji and the vinegar, and spread over the plated nanohana. You can also mix the sauce and nanohana together in a bowl and then put on a plate.

※ I used Iio Jozo's "Fuji Vinegar." The acidity and the flavor varies among vinegars, so make sure to test the flavor.

Yum! Sweet and Sour Pork Style Meatballs in Sweet Vinegar Ankake Sauce
A friend of mine told me that they fry leftover hamburger meat mixture and serve it coated with sweet vinegar ankake sauce, so I fried the leftover meat mixture from meat-stuffed peppers and turned them into sweet-and-sour pork style meatballs.The green peppers will change color if you add them in too early, so it is better to cut them up finely and then add them in later. It also tastes great if you add in shiitake mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and quail eggs.The katakuriko will sink to the bottom of the combined flavoring ingredients, so be sure to mix it up again before adding it to the pan. For 3 servings. Recipe by Hamumaki
