Well, the intermediate level is also the 5th time.What kind of food is this time? ************************ Overcast clouds cover the sky,
Typical weather for this season continues.
Is it salvation that the temperature is not so high?
In the meantime, next week will be the summer solstice.
I was happy that the days were finally getting longer,
It's sad that it's already going downhill.
The rainy season will end7around the end of the month
Could you bring me the summer solstice?
・・・Mumble.
Today's teacher is Michiyo Fujii, who is in charge for the second time.
This time we will start with a lecture.
“The theme is seasonal eating habits.
In spring, spring vegetables, wild grasses, and edible wild plants accumulate in the body during the winter.
Get rid of old oils and toxins.
There are many things that are negative, so be careful of cooking methods and overeating.
Take advantage of the sourness in the summer, cool the body with summer vegetables,
Makes it easier to harmonize with the outside air.
However, thanks to the air conditioner, even in the summer
It gets cold so be careful.
In autumn, prepare to warm your body for winter,
I'll get it ready first.
In winter, to build a body that can withstand the cold,
We will have rich foods, root vegetables and rice cakes.”
The concept of cherishing the season in macrobiotics
It is easy to understand what is in the basics.
A comfortable body that fits the season
lifestyle to live.
Precisely because food from all over the world is overflowing all year round,
I want to learn what seasonal vegetables are.
Well, today's menu is
Rice with adlay,
red bean pumpkin,
carrot dressing salad,
sesame salt,
Japanese barnyard millet donuts.
"The pearl barley is famous for removing warts.
Improves digestive function, promotes diuretic action,
It has skin beautifying effects and is also used in herbal medicine.”
I'm sure it should have been called yokuinin in Chinese medicine.
Since the rice with rice with adlay is hard,
I used one that had been soaked in water overnight.
10% of the amount of brown rice is pearl barleyAdd the soaked soup.
“Azuki pumpkin is one of the important dietary dishes.
Please remember properly.
For cleaning the body even if you are not sick,
A month2It would be nice to eat twice."
The ingredients used are red beans, kelp, pumpkin and salt.
Kombu cut into small pieces with scissors
To keep it from flying around,
I was taught that it is good to lightly heat it.
This is because the water in the kombu will come out.
I see, i see.
Remove only the seeds from the pumpkin and use the cotton as well.
When the adzuki beans are cooked and softened, add salt,
I added a bite-sized piece of pumpkin.
Without the lid, keep adding water
Cooked in a simmering earthenware pot,
The finish turned off the fire leaving the juice.
Leaving this juice is the Seishoku Kyokai style.
carrot dressing salad
Cut carrots and radishes into strips,
Take care of the cabbage
I blanched it briefly.
Grate carrots, chop onions, add plum vinegar,
Mix sesame oil (low-scented low-temperature pressed),
I made dressing.
Hie donuts are
Coarsely chop the raisins,
Pour boiling water over it and put it back.
The washed millet was cooked and steamed.
Add raisins and cooked millet to flour
I mixed it with a wooden spatula.You can't put water in it.
Apply a little oil to your hands so they don't stick,
It was shaped like a ring and fried in oil.
“The sesame salt is also very important.
I finally got an explanation.That will stick in your head.
It neutralizes oxidized blood and supplements the nutrients that brown rice lacks."
In a dry mortar, put salt that has been baked and made smooth,
Rub vigorously with a pestle until it feels like flour.
Add toasted black sesame seeds
This time, with just the weight of the pestle,
Rub it carefully as if you were praying.
With love to the infirm,
It means that.
"I wonder if I can do it properly like this."
It was a light touch that made me uneasy.
On the way, Principal Okada came to see the direct teaching.
I got lucky.
The light rhythm is reminiscent of a long career.
the woman at the same table
"I received direct instruction from the principal," he quickly appealed.
"Unlike machine-made products,
The result may not be beautiful, but
The taste is completely different,” says Fujii.
It's time to enjoy your meal.
Put the red bean pumpkin in your mouth and taste it.
Face to face with the people at the table and say, "It's delicious.!'
said in unison.
Slightly sweet and salty from adzuki beans
Let's call it a combination
Eating out doesn't taste like this.
Pumpkin is sweet too.
If it's so delicious and good for diabetes,
It doesn't bother me to continue as sick food.
Sprinkle with sesame and salt made with a prayerful heart,
I will bite the rice with pigeon barley.
It's gentle, delicious, and looks good for your body.
I've always hated carrots since I was a child,
Dressing with grated carrot
Salad with carrots and cabbage,
It went down my throat like any other food.
Lightly blanched vegetables are also very good.
The Japanese traditionally did not eat raw vegetables.
I mean, there must be some reason.
Hie donuts also
It's moist and sticky, and it's quite a thing.
Just enough sweetness from the raisins.
Recently, I received a commercial birthday cake,
A little too sweet I think.
I always think, but the food you get in this classroom is
Why is it so delicious?
This is not just my opinion.
While listening to the principal's lecture on the theme of "the function of grain,"
If you taste the sesame salt left on the small plate with chopsticks little by little,
It was so delicious that I ate it all,
I was surprised by the uncle who studied together. ＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊
