Curry Daikon Meshi

Difficulty: Easy
Time: 10min + rice cooking time
Number of servings: 4

Necessary Equipment:
suihanki (Japanese rice cooker)

Ingredients:
2 cups uncooked Japanese rice (short-grain rice)
200g (7.0oz.) Daikon (Japanese radish)
1 Aburaage (fried tofu)
120cc Yamaki Mentsuyu (2 times concentrated soy sauce based broth)*
2 tsp. curry powder
400cc water*
cooking oil
parsley flakes (or chopped Mitsuba leaf (Japanese wild parsley) or chopped Daikon leaf)

Directions:
1. Wash rice and drain well. Immerse Aburaage (fried tofu) in hot water, drain and wrap in paper towel to remove any excess oil and water, then cut into thin strips. Cut Daikon into sticks (about 2-inch-long is better because it can break easily when cooked).
2. Heat cooking oil in a deep pot and lightly stir-fry Daikon and Aburaage (fried tofu) . Then season with Yamaki Mentsuyu and curry powder. Add rice and mix well.
3. Place the seasoned rice and 400cc water in a Japanese rice cooker, close, and press start to cook.
4. When it's done, do not open and let it steam for about 10 minutes.
5. Open, mix well, and serve. Sprinkle parsley flakes if available.

* You can substitute Yamaki Mentsuyu with: 2tbsp. soy sauce, 2tbsp. sake. 2tsp. sugar. And add 400cc dashi broth instead of water.

Japanese Baked Cheesecake Sticks / Bars

Difficulty: easy

Ingredients:
((Crust))
120g (about 16 pieces) vanilla wafers
40g (about 3 tbsp.) butter (softened)
((Cheesecake Filling))
200g (1 cup) cream cheese (softened)
60g (4&1/2 tbsp.) sugar
2 eggs
150ml whipping cream
1 tbsp. lemon juice
3 tbsp. cake flour (all purpose flour or any kind of flour is ok)
20g (about 2 tbsp.) melted butter

Directions:
((Crust))
1. Line the brownie pan with parchment paper.
2. Smash vanilla wafers in a Ziploc bag, add butter, then mix well. Press firmly into the brownie pan. Chill until set.
((Cheesecake Filling))
1. Preheat the oven to 180C (350F).
2. Cream the cream cheese with a whisk. Add sugar, beaten eggs (little by little), whipping cream, lemon juice, flour (sift in), and melted butter, then mix well until smooth.
((Baking))
1. Pour the cheesecake filling into the brownie pan and bake at 180C (350F) for 35-40 minutes.

The best way to cut a cheesecake is to use a long knife that has been warmed in hot water. Dip the knife in hot water, wipe, then cut. Repeat this each time you cut!
