Papaya Champuru (Okinawan Stir-Fry Dish)

Since green papaya has become available in mainland Japan grocery stores, I tried making this dish!
The sodium content is about 1.4 g per person.
The key is to stir-fry it quickly over high heat. Prepare all of the ingredients and the spices and cook them quickly.
Green papaya is hard to cut. Make sure to sharpen the knife before cutting it. Recipe by Shinbashi no mogura

Papaya Stir-Fry Papaya Stir-Fry
I had this in Okinawa and became addicted! When papaya are cheap, I make this dish! It's also great for bentos!Whenever I make this at home, my husband very happily eats it.Papaya fruit is good too, but please also appreciate this vegetable type papaya.Since this is stir-fried and then simmered, the ingredients become tender, but if you want to keep the crunchy texture of the papaya, you don't need to simmer it. Just add some dashi granules when stir-frying.Adding the whole can of tuna as-is creates a rich flavor, but you can adjust the amount of soy sauce and other ingredients if you want.

Easy Goya Champuru (Okinawan Stir Fry) Easy Goya Champuru (Okinawan Stir Fry)
I tried to recreate a bitter melon champuru I had at an Okinawan restaurant.Don't let the tofu crumble too much. You'd want to quickly finish it up after adding the egg mixture, so make sure to have the seasoning ingredients at hand. I like bitter melon so I make it fairly thick, but if it seems too bitter for you, cut it thinner, sprinkle on salt, let rest 15 minutes, and squeeze out the liquid a bit.

Okinawan Stir Fry: Tofu Chanpuruu Okinawan Stir Fry: Tofu Chanpuruu
I started making this after moving to Okinawa.This is a very popular home-cooked dish, and it's on the menus of every diner.Here's a entry-level dish as an introducting to Okinawan cooking for beginners.Okinawan "island" tofu is big, so I've specified 1 block, but if you're using regular firm tofu please use a whole block. Island tofu is very firm, so there's no need to spend a lot of time getting rid of excess water, but if you're using regular firm tofu you may want to drain the water a little longer. For 2 servings.

They're delicious and worth having around -- it's just a bit challenging to get through all of them.Add the sauce to the pan after turning off the heat.

Quick Champuruu-style Pork Stir-fry Quick Champuruu-style Pork Stir-fry
I made up this recipe using leftovers in my fridge. If you don't have tofu, replace with finely scrambled eggs.I used silken tofu this time but it's also good with firm tofu.Bigger slices of pork would make it an authentic chanpuruu, but you could use whatever variety of thinly sliced pork you have, such as offcuts or belly slices.It's better to trim the roots of bean sprouts. This gives a nice crunchiness.Stir-fry over high heat, but if you're worrying about scorching, add a little more sake to prevent scorching. Recipe by YU-RI cookpad.japan -

Chikuwa and Bell Pepper Stir-Fry with Yuzu Pepper and Mayo Chikuwa and Bell Pepper Stir-Fry with Yuzu Pepper and Mayo
I usually stock up on chikuwa because I love fish cakes so much. One day, I realized that the expiration dates were getting close. I wanted to use them up since I already had another bag in the freezer. This recipe is a new variation of the "Pork Stir Fry with Yuzu Pepper and Mayo" that I posted in the past.The chikuwa I used were thin. You could also use king oyster mushrooms instead of shimeji. Make sure the heat is high throughout the process. I recommend adding freshly ground black pepper to finish. You could use sansho peppers instead, or add bonito flakes as an accent. For 2 servings.
