I have to say, the stir-fried cucumber got me into surprised pikachu face :O

I found your video by accident yesterday and now I can not stop watching all the rest.thank you for sharing.greetings from thailand.

Love the way you teach and explain everything. Clear, concise and so polite. I also learn more about Japanese diet. I will certainly watch all your future videos.

Braised cucumbers are so delicious. Try melting some butter and adding bonito flakes and a little miso. Add sliced cucumber sliced into batons, roughly the same shape as udon noodles until softened. Some seaweed flakes and toasted sesame seeds. Add boiled udon noodles that are not over boiled and toss. If you are not vegetarian, a little stir fried minced pork (the bonito flakes are fish flakes FYI - very tasty). A squeeze of citrus and a bit of soy and sesame oil. Umami!!! The cucumbers should be juicy yet a little crunchy and have absorbed all of those flavours but be the star of the dish.

I love this recipe cucumber is my favori 😂 thank you you are the best 👍

I prepared some and took to work...staffs loved it and asked me for the link..

I like how you admitted that you thought that cooking cucumbers was insane. I must try it. One can just make a small serving to find out. And I will most certainly try out the ginger in the garlic press. Thanks

I love how you always explain everything. And the "ehm" 😆

I like cucumber with wakame the most. 😍

Hi from🇯🇵 I tried all your recipes 🙏🙏🙏🙏they were so delicious. Thank you 💐

Thank you for your videos! I am really excited and happy to get some Japanese recipes with ingredients that you can easily get in Germany, because I’m German and usually it is not so simple to get Japanese groceries. 本当にありがとうございます。嬉しいです。ビデオを頑張って下さいね♪

I think I would like all but the cucumbers and pork.

Nice ! Looks refreshing. And, I have a question : I have often heard of Shichimi which would be a japanese typical mix of spices. Do you often use it in your preparations ? What is it used for ? Thank you, once again : )

@taijiskitchen

2 жыл бұрын

Shichimi (written 七味) means seven flavor, so it is a spice mix of seven kind. we barely use it for preparing but rather as a condiment to change up the flavor at the end. you can use it for almost any recipe, like in these three side dishes. but I dont use it at all, b/c I don't like it as much (since it is quite dominant in flavor) perhaps I didn't grow up with it. Shichimi is used more in the east part of Japan. in our region we use Ichimi (written 一味 = one flavor), which is just regular chilli pepper.

Thanks for your teaching!! Question: is the starch that you use the same as white flour made of wheat?

@taijiskitchen

Жыл бұрын

no starch and flour are completely different thing. Starch is a carbohydrate with carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms while flour is a powder that we get by grinding raw grains. but since Flour contains a high proportion of starch, you could substitute starch with flour, although may taste a bit floury.

there's always something new to learn!!

Are you using "Toasted" Sesame oil in your recipes as opposed to unflavored or frying Sesame oil? If you are, I've been told that you don't fry with toasted Sesame oil yet you fried the pork with it. Does it change the toasted sesame flavor unlike pouring it over the finished dish... Just wondering. I just discovered your channel and have subscribed!

@taijiskitchen

2 жыл бұрын

hey, thanx for your comment!! its really a preference thing and cost. the reason why many people don't use sesame oil for frying is that through the hight heat, the most of the aroma of the sesame oil will go away and makes very little difference, if you use sesame oil or any other oil. and since sesame oil is usually more expensive, many use sesame oil only at the very end to give the scent.
