After the rainy season comes summer! In order to spend the summertime full of energy, eating nutritious and balanced meals is important. Our membership lesson for July & August will use lots of nutritious summer vegetables.
Shabu-shabu is a very popular hotpot dish, but for summer, we will be cooking the pork shabu-shabu cold (we call it Rei-shabu) and eat it with a refreshing “ponzu (soy sauce and citrus) sauce with the scent of yuzu. We will also explain how to make homemade ponzu.
Deep fried summer vegetables in Japanese broth is a simple dish where we deep fry the vegetables without batter and then soaked in flavorful dashi, but the vegetables full of broth are so tasty, they will surprise you! This way of cooking vegetables has been loved by the Japanese for a long time. We will also teach you a cutting technique on how to make “Kakushibocho (hidden cuts)”.
We will also enjoy 2 more refreshing dishes; tomato salad and pickled plum and ginger rice.
梅雨が明けるといよいよ夏本番！ 夏を元気に楽しく過ごすためにも栄養のあるバランスが取れた食事が大切ですね。 7月のコースレッスンでは、栄養たっぷりの旬の野菜をふんだんに使ったお料理です。
しゃぶしゃぶは鍋料理で有名ですが、夏は冷たく冷やして、さっぱりとゆずの香りがするポン酢でいただきます。 自家製のポン酢の作り方もレクチャーします。（ゆずが高い時期だから市販のにするかも）
揚げ浸しは、素揚げした野菜をお出汁に漬け込んでいただくシンプルな料理ですが、お出汁を吸った野菜はびっくりするほど美味しくなり、昔からとても日本人に愛されている野菜の調理法です。「隠し包丁」という包丁のテクニックも学びましょう。
爽やかさをプラスする、トマトのサラダと梅と生姜のご飯と一緒にいただきましょう。
