Torched Chashu (チャーシュー) and Aji Tamago (味卵)

This is a spin on a recipe from Just One Cookbook, but I had to make more of the sauce so I could also make ramen eggs (aji tamago) along with it. This should liven up the cheap ramen kit I got. 🇯🇵🥩🐖🥚🍜

Cooking Instructions
- 1
In a pan, fry the pork belly on all sides on high heat to sear all sides.

In a pot, combine pork belly, soy sauce, mirin, sugar, ginger, and water. Bring to a boil on high heat skimming off the foam and scum. Lower the heat to low and let simmer for 1 hour, with a drop lid (otoshibuta) to let the flavours circulate.

Transfer pork and some of the cooking liquid to a zip plastic bag. Do likewise with the eggs. Let rest in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours.

When ready to serve, you can optionally sear the chashū with a blowtorch to enhance the flavour. Slice the eggs and serve with ramen.

For Bentos: Chikuwa and Quail Egg Teriyaki For Bentos: Chikuwa and Quail Egg Teriyaki
There are usually 8 to 10 eggs in a can of boiled quail eggs, so you won't be able to use it all up if you make 1-2 rolls for a regular bento. So why not make a big batch of these for a Sports Day festival bento!Do your kids get excited about quail eggs as mine do?Add the sauce in over low heat, and make sure to shake the pan back and forth.If you roll the quail eggs the day before (e.g. a big event like Sports Festival), you will be done in 5 minutes the day of.If you wrap these up with the yellow side of the chikuwa facing outward, then the rolls will not look very pleasant. Make sure to roll the browned side outwards! Lol. For 8 rolls. Recipe by Shijimi24 cookpad.japan -

A Juicy Dashimaki Tamago Using One Egg A Juicy Dashimaki Tamago Using One Egg
I was wondering if it would be possible to make an easy dashimaki tamago for bentos. You just need 1 egg, shiro-dashi and water. The ratios for the amounts are easy to remember (1:1:2). I think this is the most delicious dashimaki tamago I've ever made.I use a small tamagoyaki pan I bought for bento-making (15 x 10 cm).If you try making a tamagoyaki in a regular-sized pan with the same amount of ingredients, you'll end up with a very flat or very thin one. For 1 serving. Recipe by amurona cookpad.japan -

Golden Dashi - Superb Oyako-Don With Egg and Chicken Golden Dashi - Superb Oyako-Don With Egg and Chicken
My family loves using shiro dashi with everything.I had a lot of eggs, I made this nice oyakodon.It has a great feeling of being at home.Use shiro dashi for the dashi.Not "white" soy sauce, "white" dashi! Don't make a mistake!If you let it simmer too long, it will be too heavy tasting, so be careful. You can add some extra water if you need to. Recipe by hime*Rinn cookpad.japan -
Satoimo (Taro) and Minced Meat Topped with Sweet Sauce Satoimo (Taro) and Minced Meat Topped with Sweet Sauce
If daikon radish and ground meat covered in sauce is good then satoimo should be delicious, too! The daikon radish had a mild flavor but I felt that a mild flavor would not go so well with satoimo so my recipe is sweet. I added mirin to make it glossier and sweeter.Any kind of meat is okay! I often use a mix of ground beef and ground pork.Of course it's okay to use fresh satoimo instead of the frozen variety. Recipe by rubi0314 cookpad.japan
