煮物 Japanese warm dishes

大根・黄金あげ
だし: Water, だし, soy sauce, mirin, sake, sugar, salt, chillies (optional)
*黄金あげ we don’t usually get it overseas, it is a little bit thicker than the usual fried tofu we get, with little bit of tofu still left in the middle, use more in japan for 煮物 and noodle soup.
Same だし could be used for 白菜・黄金あげ, なすび

白菜・黄金あげ
1 tbsp sake, 1 tbsp mirin, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp salt and sugar, add 1 handful 揚げ豆腐 to make flavor, don’t need to add water since chinese cabbage is very watery.
Cut chinese cabbage and だし, leave on small fire until soft.
Add little bit salt and sugar if needed.

なすび – small ones cut to half, than into two/three blocks, make a few cuts on the skin so the flavor get absorbed easily.
