It should have a soft and tender texture.Use your choice of vegetables! To cut thin slices of chicken, freeze raw chicken until slightly frozen and slice.This is a variation ofand. For 2 servings.

Rice porridge goes down easily, even when you don't have much of an appetite. My child had a craving for ochazuke, so I prepared it with cold barley tea. He was delighted with the tart umeboshi and fragrant barley, and gobbled it right down!The gentle tartness of Kishu-produced Nankou-bai umeboshi together with the flavor of dried bonito flakes creates a tasty broth. Since the flavoring is simple, add a touch of yukari (dried red shiso leaves) powder to taste. Just a pinch will help the flavors come together. Too much tuna will make the broth oily, so be sparing. For 1 serving. Recipe by Satomiwa
