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!

How to Make Rilakkuma Avocado Cheeseburger - Video Recipe

Very easy and cute idea to enjoy your lunch or snack :D


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9R7QnB3BXqo

I used 100% beef, avocado, and cheese, but the filling can be your choice!!!



---------------------------------
Rilakkuma Avocado Cheeseburger

Difficulty: Patience
Time: 30min
Number of servings: 2

Ingredients:
250g (8.8oz.) ground beef
1 sliced avocado
2 sliced cheddar cheese
2 sliced onions
2 sliced tomatoes
lettuce
1 tsp. salt
black pepper
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
hamburger buns
frankfurter (sausage)
sliced cheese
Nori seaweed sheet

Directions:
1. Put ground beef, salt, pepper, and nutmeg in a bowl, and mix well by hand until all ingredients are combined and smooth. Divide it into half, then form each into flat and round shape, little bit larger than the hamburger buns (because they shrink when they are cooked). In a frying pan or on a BBQ grill, cook the hamburger steaks and sliced onions to desired doneness.
2. Slice the hamburger buns and toast them in a frying pan or a BBQ grill. Place lettuce, sliced tomato, hamburger steak, sliced cheddar cheese, sliced onion, and avocado between the hamburger buns.
3. Make Rilakkuma's ears with boiled sausage and sliced cheese, then attach them with toothpicks. Make eyes, nose, and mouth with sliced cheese and Nori sheet.

It is slightly salty, so it is up to you to eat with ketchup!

How to Make Soft and Chewy Milk Caramel Candies - Video Recipe

I bought this silicone mold at 100yen shop (Can☆Do). I followed the microwave caramel candies recipe that came with this mold, but it didn't work and used up all the whipping cream… so I ended up making the caramel candies using only milk using a pot. Then it worked as seen in this video!!! Adding butter is necessary to get this chewy texture and rich taste (it will be a bit flaky if you skip butter).


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jg1Qiey3f78

Adding diced almonds or sesame seeds is nice! ENJOY!!!



---------------------------------
Soft and Chewy Milk Caramel Candies

Difficulty: VERY Easy
Time: 15min + cooling time
Number of servings: 14 small pieces

Ingredients:
100ml milk
50g (1.8oz.) granulated sugar
25g (0.9oz.) butter
a few drops of vanilla extract

Directions:
1. Put all ingredients in a pot and bring to a boil on medium. When bubbles come out, turn down to low and simmer until thick mixing with a wooden spatula (make sure you don't burn it).
2. Drop the caramel mixture into ice water and check if it forms an elastic ball. If it melts, you want to simmer more.
3. You can pour it into a silicone mold, or a square pan lined with parchment paper. Cool in the freezer for over an hour until firm. Cut it up if necessary.

They can melt easily at room temperature, so better kept in the fridge or freezer!
