hmm....a fun thing too try out~
tama-miso =D
Get 1:1 Miso and Sugar
Combine them together well, I mean, uber well~
Get together some hard veggies~
i.e. eggplants, bell peppers, zucchini, onions, and what not
Cut them into big chunks x]
like ...quarter a thin (japanese) eggplant
or cut a bell pepper into 8 equal slices (just trying too emphasise the size cuts x] <---japanese style cooking, as opposed too westerners, who chop, dice, and julienne all their veggies before sautéing the whole lot together
In a skillet, sweat the vegetables in a little oil. Not wilted nor not discoloured, just enough too get the juices running, the colour nice, the veggies warm, and the flavour distinct.
Salt lightly, add a little mirin, and then mix in the tama-miso.
With cooking chopsticks (Ryouri hashi), blend well the vegetables and miso then plate.
oooh ooho oohh
and you can also try out "Gindara" x]
Get together some fillets of cod.
Marinate in the Tama-Miso for a minimum of 2 days.
Grill over an open flame (skin side down) until cooked all the way through.
The skin will burn, and a little a bit on the sides of the meat, but if you flip the fish over, the meat will stick too the grill, and it will ruin the texture of the fish (the meat is supposed to be extremely flaky, juicy, and sweet ALL the way through). Plate the fish w/ a green garnish, serve w/ rice, tsuke-mono (pickles), the vegetables mentioned above, and you've got yer self a mighty fine japanese meal righ' dere x]
Though I suppose for a vegetarian dish~
Get some veggies: Broccoli, carrots, tofu, and what not~
Sautee in a skillet in some oil, add just a little vegetable broth, mirin, and unbleached sugar.
or you could try...
cucumbers x]
Get some Japanese cucumbers~
Roll them in salt for a few minutes, then rinse and quarter.
Then in a brine of 1:1:1/3 Water, Rice Vinegar, Sugar
maybe flavoured w/ a bit of chilli, marinate the cucumbers for about 10 min.
Either cut them into slices and serve as in appetiser, or roll them into a maki too make delicious kappa-maki x]
In the shadows beneath the trees he waits.
In the darkness under the moon he plots
In the silence of the night he kills.
