How to Make Easy and Gorgeous Deco Somen Noodles (Tanabata Party Recipe) - Video Recipe

Somen is perfect refreshing food for hot and humid summer season :)

Sōmen (素麺) is very thin Japanese noodles made of wheat flour. The noodles are usually served cold in summer with a dashi flavored tasty dipping sauce called Mentsuyu (めんつゆ).


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVzmpEzzgi8

Somen is perfect dish to serve on Tanabata, which is a festival celebrated on July 7th. People write their wishes on strips of paper and hang them on bamboo trees. Moreover, there is a Tanabata story. I don't think the story is that romantic, but it is about Vega (Orihime 織姫) and Altair (Kengyuu 牽牛(彦星)). They fell in love with each other but without working. So the emperor (Tentei 天帝, Orihime's father) decided to separate them on opposite sides of the river of the Milky Way. Now they could see each other, only once a year on Tanabata July 7th, if they work hard.



---------------------------------
Deco Somen Noodles

Difficulty: Very Easy
Time: 15min
Number of servings: N/A

Ingredients:
((Toppings))
Kinshi Tamago (shredded egg crepe)
https://youtu.be/6tgDi2Ny3VI?t=49s
cooked shrimp
Ikura (salmon roe)
Okura
((Dipping Sauces))
Kamada Tsuyu : water = 1 : 1
*instead of using Kamada Tsuyu you can use regular Mentsuyu but make sure you dilute as instructed because the level of concentration vary from product to product.
((Somen Noodles))
dried Somen noodles

Directions:
((Toppings - Kinshi Tamago))
Beat 1 egg in a bowl (you can season it with sugar or salt). Heat cooking oil in a pan and make a thin omelette. If you don't have a rectangle omelette pan, you can make a circle thin omelette. Then cut the egg into thin strips.
((Dipping Sauces))
Double the Kamada Tsuyu with water, then cool in the fridge until ready to serve.
((Somen Noodles))
Boil water in a large pan. Add dried Somen noodles (and Okura) in the boiling water and gently stir noodles with chopsticks. Cook Somen noodles according to your package (mine was 2 min). Drain the noodles in a strainer and rinse the noodles with hands under running water. Take bite-size portion of the noodles and roll them on your fingers (like you roll pasta on a fork), and place them on a dish. Decorate the noodles with toppings of your choice and keep in the fridge until you serve.

When Somen noodles get dry, their gluten get strong and sticky. So they will stick together nicely in bite-size portions. When you eat, dip one portion in the dipping sauce, then shake to release the noodles.

How to Make Onigirazu (Rice Sandwiches) - Video Recipe

Onigirazu is a new type of Onigiri (rice ball) becoming very popular in Japan recently in 2015.

Unlike Onigiri (rice ball), Onigirazu can be prepared quickly without making into a triangular or a ball shape but just by wrapping rice and the fillings in Nori seaweed sheet.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSAMUuFw5Hk

I think it is a great idea that you can wrap more fillings than the regular ball-shaped Onigiri. Also, it looks very pretty like sandwiches!!!

Try it out with your favorite fillings ;)



---------------------------------
Onigirazu

Difficulty: Very Easy
Time: depends on what you wrap
Number of servings: N/A

Ideas:
curry flavored rice + bacon and eggs
Yukari (red Shiso leaves rice seasoning) rice + Shiso leaves + sliced cheese
white rice + shredded cabbage + Tonkatsu (pork cutlet) + Tonkatsu sauce

Directions:
1. Place Nori seaweed sheet on plastic wrap.
2. Place rice in the center, then flatten it out.
3. Place the fillings on top.
4. Cover the fillings with rice, then flatten it out.
5. Fold the corners towards the center of the rice, then wrap tightly with plastic wrap.
6. When the Nori gets soft, cut into half.

How to Make Very Basic Dashi Broth (Perfect Soup Stock for Japanese Food) - Video Recipe

This video will show you how to make the very basic Dashi broth, the base of many Japanese dishes, as well as Japanese baby food ;)

This is one of a few ways to make Dashi!
You can make vegetarian Dashi by using only Kombu (kelp).
Dashi does not mean fish btw... it means "Soup Stock".


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObUMAxtnCCA

Kombu (kelp), Hana-katsuo (large bonito flakes), and/or Niboshi (small dried sardines) can be used to make the broth. The combination is up to you.



---------------------------------
Very Basic Dashi Broth (Perfect Soup Stock for Japanese Food)

Difficulty: Easy
Time: 15min + soaking time
Number of servings: 4 cups

Ingredients:
800ml water
20cm/8inch-long Kombu (kelp)
handful of Hana-katsuo (large bonito flakes)

Directions:
1. Cut Kombu in half, then clean it with moistened towel. Soak in 800ml water for 30 minutes.
2. Heat the pot on medium, before it starts to boil, remove the Kombu, add Hana-katsuo, mix, stop the heat and wait until they soak completely.
3. Strain the Dashi soup with a strainer (with a clean cloth or a paper towel if you have). *Do not squeeze the bonito flakes too much since they can add bad smell.

For baby food, you can store it in the freezer for a week!

You can make homemade Furikake (rice seasoning) with leftover Dashi ingredients!
