It's around this time today that I'm thinking about planting flower seeds.
By the way, this is Terry's second intermediate class.What kind of food did you make? ＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊ On my way home from work this month, it flows nearby A row of cherry blossom trees in full bloom on the opposite bank of Okawa
I spent my time staring blankly at it,
The cherry blossoms have also fallen this week.
It feels like it happened in an instant.
The seasons come and go,
The fresh green of fresh lime green is beautiful now,
You can feel the scenery of the city lively.
When I lived in Tokyo,
The zelkova trees of Harajuku Omotesando
I remember how much I loved to take walks.
Intermediate course today2It's the second time.
Reunited with my uncle who was with me in the beginner's class for the first time in a while.
We were happy to meet each other and chatted for a while.
The lecturer in charge is Hiroko Shimada.
For the first time in several years at the cooking class of the Japan Macrobiotic Association
A comeback teacher.
At the beginning, "Beginners and Intermediate
The more it goes on, the more I realize that it's "amazing".
Basics are very important.
Not a time-pressed house,
In this classroom, I have time and I have friends,
Please take your time and enjoy making it."
The menu is
Mixed rice with bamboo shoots and gluten,
fried tofu,
hijiki lotus root,
Seaweed and dried daikon radish for two cups
Of4It is a product.
"Hijiki lotus root is a staple dish for dietary dishes.
I would like to have one chopstick for each meal.
It's an important dish, just like kinpira burdock."
and Mr. Shimada.
I told you that it is impossible to be perfect all at once.
I guess that's why it's so deep.
Wash the hijiki quickly and soak in water.
Bring it back until you can cut it with your fingernail,
Cut the lotus root into ginkgo pieces and shred the carrots.
Heat a pan and add sesame oil,
When the hijiki is fried and the water is gone,
Fry the lotus root,
Pour the rehydrated hijiki and water into a bowl and bring to a boil.
I turned the heat down and added the carrots.
Add soy sauce and simmer until the juice is gone.
Well, it seems easy with just these steps,
something somewhere
There must be something complicated involved.
Follow the iron rule of dropping lids for dried foods,
I waited until the juice ran out.
Lectures were held during the waiting time.
The principles of a macrobiotic diet include:
Special emphasis was given to the importance of chewing.
It connects to the eighth quarter of the abdomen and stimulates the brain,
Prevention of blurring, due to a lot of saliva
A lot of benefits were introduced.
As a closing word
"Quantity changes quality".
Anything good for your body
I was told that it is not good to eat too much.
"There is a song by Sakurazawa-sensei called 'Yoku Kameyo'.
I used to sing along a lot.If you know it, please sing it."
' he said, catching my eye as if he was half nominated.
I can't help but nominate you,
I just want to take it easy
I sang solo in front of everyone.
♪Take good care of your food
Kame-yo-kame-yo-kameyo, your body will become stronger♪"
...it was poor.
From kind students
I was happy to get a round of applause.
It's time for the long-awaited meal.
While it's still warm,
I dipped my chopsticks into the fried tofu.
Freshly grated daikon radish and onion,
Drizzle with soy sauce and enjoy.
Delicious.
moment of bliss.
Simple is best after all.
Seasoned with a little dark eyes
mixed with bamboo shoots and gluten
Eat brown rice by chewing it well.
After being told the importance of chewing,
I will definitely chew on it consciously.
Put the hijiki lotus root little by little in your mouth.
It sure looks good on your body.
This dish is full of calcium,
Pregnant women, people with anemia,
It is the perfect dish for growing children.
Two cups of vinegar with seaweed and dried radish,
I don't really like vinegared foods,
was very delicious.
Is this also due to the season?
did you want your body
It makes me think about many things.
I've been feeling a little unwell for the past few days,
Because I was almost starving,
The happiness of being able to eat deliciously
I ate it all while feeling reluctantly.
Thank you for the meal.
