Japanese Cooking with Sabine
basic ingredients . all recipes
Okay - you are halfway there! You opened up this part of the website,
so you must be interested in making some Japanese food! Bravo! It`s
really not that tough, provided that you have some basic ingredients.
I am including recipes that I like - some of them are considered
pretty fancy - made for special occasions, while others you could
find on the dinner tables of Japanese families on normal nights.
Basic Japanese cooking is not as complicated as what you would get at
a Japanese restaurant back home. Often, you will find things like
fried rice or noodles, fried fish, some boiled vegetables (like
spinach or seaweed) and tsukemono (Japanese pickles). You will almost
always find a bowl of plain, white rice, and a bowl of soup sitting
there beside your plate. At tleast this is what my research has
turned up! So put on your aprons and ganbatte (good luck)!
Okay! You should be good to go for the basics! Are you ready to try
your hand at being the "Iron
Chef?"

Tofu Cheesecake
Ok, this doesn`t really taste like cheesecake, but it is still yummy, and was gobbled up by my teachers at school rather quickly. The men licked their plates clean and the women were overjoyed with the fact that it is realtively low in fat.
The Filling:
1 package of tofu
1/2 cup soy milk or regular milk
1/2 cup of white sugar
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup maple syrup (or 2Tbsp brown sugar)
Throw it all in a blender and push the button. Pour into a prepared pie crust, and bake at 350F (175 C) for 30 minutes.
The topping:
1 package frozen berries (or about a pound of fresh ones)
1/4 cup sugar
3 Tbspcorn starch
Blend berries until they are smooth. Add the sugar and corn starch. In a saucepan over medium heat, bring to a boil, being careful not to let the sauce burn.
Pour the berry glaze over the cooked tofu pie and cool in the refrigerator.

Beetles a la Kenchan
Someone requested a recipe for mushi. This recipe comes to you care of the feline I am cat-sitting.
1. Go into the garden or onto the balcony to find one 1.5 inch long horned beetle.
2. Bring the selected beetle inside the house.
3. To tenderize, take both paws and bat said beetle around on the linoleum for about 30 minutes.
4. When the beetle is tender (around 70% dead), take beetle up in both paws and crunch down once or twice to taste.
5. If beetle is not yet tender enough, please continue to bat it around on the linoleum for another 5-10 minutes.
6. Enjoy! The beetle should now be ready to eat. It is customary to crunch it loudly, thus making your owner (or caretaker) cringe.
7. Leave one leg lying on the floor, in case your owner or caretaker wishes to enjoy some.
:)
