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.

I wanted to enjoy something refreshing and summer-like.Don't mix too much in Step 2.

I had a lot of umeboshi that someone had given to us that were too salty to eat. I wanted to eat slightly sweet, vanilla scented hoshi ume like that ones you can buy, so I made these.Pancake syrup often has added aromas, so they will be transferred to the umeboshi.

Okra and umeboshi go well together. This chilled tofu dish is perfect to enjoy during the summer.Cut the okra while they are still raw, then blanch in boiling water. It's easier this way, and I feel that the okra stay crispy while becoming extra gooey. Just drain the boiling water in Step 3. After draining the hot water from the okra and letting them rest for a while in a sieve, they're ready when some of their gooey liquid starts to drip. For 3-4 servings. Recipe by aya2920

Drain excess water from the tofu first, cut into small pieces, then mix with the dressing. It prevents the dish from being watery. It also helps to improve the dish's appearance, and makes the dish absorb the flavor better.Use your preferred amount of umeboshi. You can just top the mixed seasoning on the chilled tofu, instead of mixing it all together. You can make many variations by using nori-seaweed tsukudani (simmered in soy sauce), kimchi, spicy salted cod roe, takana pickles, shibazuke (pickled vegetables in salt and shiso leaves), nametake mushrooms, tuna and soy sauce, etc... as a dressing. It's also delicious to sprinkle garnishes, such as sesame seeds. Recipe by Hironozomiyuuma

My husband loves old fashioned, salty and sour umeboshi, and will eat several at a time. I was worried that he was getting too much sodium, so I make these homemade ones with drastically reduced salt every year.I buy a thick, large, brand new/never used before food-safe poly bag to make the umeboshi, so there's no need to sterilize anything and you don't need to worry about mold. Anyone can make this reduced-salt umeboshi this way. If you divide up the umeboshi into less than 1.5 kg batches, you can use the largest size of ziplock bags. Reduced salt umeboshi are tastiest when consumed within a year of making them, so make just as much as you'll eat within that time. Recipe by olive11

I learned the basic pickling method from my mother, but my friend taught me how to make reduced salt umeboshi.-Until the liquid comes up to the top, there is a risk of mold growth, so shake the jar everyday to dissolve the salt to immerse the ume plums in the liquid as quickly as possible.-If you live in an area with very high humidity and high temperature, and if it's difficult to control the condition of umeboshi, make them with about 14 % salt.

This is a variation of another recipe of mine which uses salted dried konbu seaweed and cheese on hot tofu.It's more delicious if you lightly grill the nori in Step 4 before you sprinkle it on.It was also good when I added wakame to Step 2!You can use soy sauce instead of mentsuyu, but I thought it may be a little too salty. It depends on how sour and salty the umeboshi are and the amount of ginger you add. Recipe by Maakunnookusan

This is our family's regular dish.-If the umeboshi is popping out, the chicken will spit when it's being fried. To prevent this, make sure to press it down and dredge well.-The chicken won't cook thoroughly if the oil is too hot. So, make sure it's just the right temperature. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221

I love the combination of sardines and umeboshi. Umeboshi makes the bones and meat tender. The backbone is hard to eat, but you can eat the small bones.If you have pickled red shiso leaves with umeboshi, add to the simmer. It will be tasty as well. After simmering the sardines, umeboshi and red shiso leaves adds a concentrated flavor, but it goes well with rice. Recipe by Pukuttopukumaru

Umeboshi gives this a delightfully refreshing taste.Depending on the saltiness of the umeboshi, add salt or soy sauce to taste.Try this recipe with cherry tomatoes or regular-sized tomatoes.Substitute the dashi for mentsuyu if you like.The soup also goes well with somen (thin wheat) noodles.
