Hi! It is nice and calm today.Last night, I was going to post this but I got drowsy and I couldn't... So now I will.
Last last night, when I got home, I realized that the rice cooker was open.
The rice was crisp and uneatable.
Since we place the rice cooker on the floor, I thought my boyfriend has kicked off when he walked by.
I called his cell immediately but he said he didn't.
After a while, I found a roll of plastic wrap on the floor.
Then I realized that it had fallen on the rice cooker and opened!
Jeez!
I thought of telling my boyfriend that it was an April Fool’s joke, but I apologized to him.
Back to my cooking.Once I wrote about my recipe using Mizkan's rice vinegar: 4 Advantages Using Japanese Rice Vinegar.
Luckily, this recipe has published in Mizkan's leaflet!
It is also on their website!
The leaflet will be used for the distribution.
So today, I will translate this in English.

Just remember :)
4 advantages using Japanese rice vinegar when simmering:
1. Cook meat less greasy.
2. Meat can be more easily separated from the bone.
3. Increase of amino acid gives the meat rich taste.
4. When simmering "chicken with bone", the acid of the vinegar act directly on the connective tissue of the chicken bone and the meat. As a result, collagen and calcium can seep into the broth.
