This is a variation of my standard umeboshi and mayonnaise sauce.Sweet Onion with Umeboshi & Mayonnaise..Snap Peas with Umeboshi & Mayonnaise..It also tastes good with daikon radish, yam, okra, and lotus root.Step 1 Don't soak the onions in water for too long. Just about 3 minutes should be fine. Use half the amount of chicken as the steamed chicken recipe calls for.Step 3 In the photos, I used green onions for garnish, but you don't have to. This also tastes good if you add it to sushi. Adjust the amount of mayonnaise to taste. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221

I received a lot of cucumbers, and while I ate them in the form of salads and pickles, I got tired of those dishes, so I tried making this.Adding bonito dashi stock granules deepens the flavours of the dish.It's alright to use regular sesame seeds instead of roasted ones. Try adding a little sesame oil to enjoy a different taste.Alternatively, julienning or roughly cubing the cucumbers and eating them with cold tofu or noodles is also delicious. Recipe by unihotate

I've been making this dish for a while now since I love sweet onions and umeboshi. You could also swap the onion for julienned daikon radish.Rub the onion with salt before soaking it in water. When using sweet onion, do not soak for too long. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221

I tried making a sauce from umeboshi plum paste to perk up the flavors during the summer.This recipe makes a large amount, so you can start with 1/2 the amount.Please adjust the amount of mirin to your liking depending on the kind of umeboshi you use.You can use this dressing as salad dressing, too! For 4 large servings for a main dish. Recipe by Hokkori-no

I came up with this as an appetizer plate for snacking on with beer.The umeboshi is high in salt content, so taste before adding any seasoning. Recipe by Poron526

This refreshing side dish combines crisp smashed cucumbers with the tangy punch of umeboshi. The natural sourness of pickled plums not only adds depth of flavor but also awakens your taste buds and lifts your spirits. A perfect, energizing bite on warm days or when you need a quick pick-me-up.

I used to eat this quite frequently when I was at my parent's place. I think my father came up with this dish.Use just a bit of the soy sauce since the umeboshi and shirasu is already pretty salty. Recipe by Setsubunhijiki

I had leftover chrysanthemum greens when I bought too much for a hot pot, and didn't want them to go bad. I wanted to test to see whether the sourness of umeboshi would eliminate the bitterness of the chrysanthemum greens. It came out tasty, so now I always make this dish when we have hot pot, or the day after.Be sure to drain the excess water from the chrysanthemum greens. This is also tasty with a bit of mayonnaise. For 2 servings. Recipe by katana1100

This is the type of food that you expect to see at izakakaya restaurants as appetizer called “otooshi”. While you look at the menu thinking what to order, you get something to munch on. Isn’t it great?!

This side dish is more like a salad or an appetizer. I thought this might make a dish to serve between the main dishes.For the umeboshi, I used homemade ones with low salt content (10%).Mayonnaise makes it like salad. Recipe by Mimato

I came up with a recipe for chilled tofu that doesn't require soy sauce. Recipe by almajp

I bought some fresh sardines. Of the ten I bought, I used 6 for sashimi, and the rest in this recipe.To tell whether sardines are fresh, look for a taut body, well-defined, glossy scales, and black eyes.They're prone to breaking or falling apart when transferring to a serving plate, so try the process listed in Step 6.It's pretty easy. Give it a try!! Recipe by kumayuki
