Hello!Yesterday I was going to post this diary but couldn't beat the sleepiness again.
I came home late last night. I had the LPG Cellulite Treatment, which is now becoming popular in Japan. I just got a chance to have it done for free. It was better than I thought! I wish I could continue but it's pretty expensive.
The recipe I translated is my popular one!
It is flavored gohan (rice) with gomoku (5 ingredients, including tuna).
The recipe is very easy!
You just cut ingredients and cook in a rice cooker.
We call this kind of dish, "Takikomi Gohan".
It's my boyfriend's favorite!
Currently, 31 people have made this and said good!
You can find their photo reports down this page.
The point is that you use a canned tuna with its oil and that gives the rice and vegetables a rich flavor!
It is really delicious!
For the seasoning, I used Yamasa's Konbu Tsuyu (3 times concentrated Konbu kelp seaweed soup stock).This product is very convenient!
It is mostly used for nabe, but goes good with other dishes, too!
It comes in different sizes.
Hope it is available at Japanese grocery stores overseas.
I saw it in NY (including suburban areas) though.
