If you have the will, you can do it."

and gave words of appreciation to the students,

This month, Hatsume Sato from Aomori Prefecture

He told me that he had met me.

Presides over a healing place called "Ischia in the forest"

Various people visit Mr. Sato.

Even when Mr. Fujii was crazy,40men of the age

"What does it mean to live?"

to the question

"To live. It is to be useful to people."

It is said that the man's complexion changed and calmed down.

“Traditional seasonings and good food

It is very important to pass it on to the next generation.

Today's menu is

Steamed rice, chilled melon soup, imitation eel,

Spicy Cabbage, Pumpkin Shiratama Dango5It is a product.

 

"Chahan is a local dish of Nara Prefecture,

Cooked with roasted green tea,

There is a mixture of cooked rice mixed with salt and matcha.”

Today's chameshi is brown rice with roasted soybeans,

I put the boiled bancha and cooked it normally with a pressure cooker.

 

For the cold melon soup, peel the winter melon and cut it into bite-sized pieces.

Stir-fried and braised with onions, celery and potatoes.

Add the dashi stock and boil until the winter melon is soft.

Adjust the taste with salt and soy sauce, add the kudzu powder dissolved in water to make it thicker,

After serving it in a bowl, I added ground ginger.

Winter melon has a diuretic effect, removes swelling,

It seems to relieve summer fatigue.

 

I wondered what

The ingredient of eel was tofu.

Scrape the drained tofu in a mortar

Add flour and mix well.

Sprinkle some flour on the seaweed,

Put the thick tofu on top and stretch it out.

Pour over the sauce you made and it's done.

 

For spicy cabbage, use cabbage, carrots, and onions.

"If you eat it when it's hot, it's really delicious.

If pumpkin is sweet, you may not need maple."

and Fujii's comment.

 

Since it's the last time, with the people at the same table who became close,

I was able to make it happily while making a joke.

 

This is the last lunch of the intermediate class.

Because the weather is cool, the melon chilled soup is

I had something warm.

The scent of ginger whets the appetite,

The thickness of the kudzu gently goes through the throat.

Harmonious vegetables that do not claim individuality

Can you say that it has a gentle and mellow taste?

 

Spicy cabbage is

The woman next to me said, "I like this flavor. Let's make it at home. It's easy."

 

Unagi-modoki is

What kind of food would make you wonder if it was served in silence?

(There are quite a few in macro dishes).

What exactly is tofu?

Didn't taste like eel

As a single dish, it is an interesting dish.

 

The tea rice was not as peculiar as I thought, and it was delicious.

The roasted soybean accent is working.

 

Dessert pumpkin shiratama dango,

It was slightly sweet and had a great taste.

 

To my uncle who was eating in silence

"How much is today's food??'

When I asked

"As a lunch menu1500Yen" and

I said quietly with a serious face.

probably starting in the future

The idea of ​​a food-related business must be running through your head.

 

Finally, each of them gave a presentation of their thoughts on today's day and concluded.

 

A few days later, from my uncle,

The winter melon made with natural farming has been delivered.

I'm sure it's a dish I learned, but can I make it?

I asked my uncle, "How was the taste??was asked,

When I said I didn't bring it home,

As a result of worrying that it is rude and I can not say

I bought this kudzu powder at Musubi Garden, which I didn't have at home.

 

If you're going to make it anyway, ignore the recipe for the amount

Celery, onions, potatoes, in a large pot

I put winter melon in it, stir-fried it, steamed it, and then added kelp stock and boiled it.

Then season with salt and add a little soy sauce,

I finished it by dissolving kudzu powder in water.

 

Serve in a bowl and sprinkle with ground ginger.

When I acted like a family member, "Ah, it's delicious.!'

While the children were saying, "What is this?"

It eats slowly.

I feel relieved when the food I prepared is appreciated.

I made a lot, so there is also a risk.

When I looked into the pot the next morning, it was empty.

Use the leftover winter melon and repeat the next day.

I made the same amount of soup.

 

I'm happy to have another repertoire.
