Staff CK's favorite things

The order of the blogs is set, and basically it's my turn after Akiyama-san,

Akiyama's blog always looks so delicious! I read it with my stomach rumbling like thunder.

This time it's bagels 🍞... I was surprised to find out that bagels can be made by hand!

Last time, I had a dish of mysterious black noodles topped with spring vegetables, which was the first time I'd ever seen such a dish (*_*)

But oh, it looks delicious!!

I usually cook as well, but it's all formulaic. I'll learn from you!!

Inspired by Akiyama-san, I decided to make "Fu Chanpuru," a dish I've become addicted to since going to Okinawa, and would like to introduce it to you!

(It's not really something I'd recommend, as it's just softened and fried gluten, but please bear with me.)

▶Material

・Kurumafu (wheel-shaped gluten)
・Corned beef hash・Vegetables・Egg・Salt and pepper・Soy sauce・Sesame oil

Normally, wheel-shaped gluten is round, but when I bring it back from Okinawa, it takes up too much space, so I buy it compressed flat.

Another must-have is corned beef hash! Kumai-san told me about it! It seems to only be sold in Okinawa, so I'll definitely buy it when I go there. (I only bought two bags, so this is my last one 😢 Sad!)

▶How to make

①Rehydrate the wheel-shaped gluten in water

Tear off the long, thin pieces of gluten,
It will soften in just 1-2 minutes!

② Lightly drain the water and put it back in the beaten egg.

Wheat gluten in an egg-flavored hot spring ♨ Splish splash...

③ First, fry the tofu...

Once cooked, place on a plate.

④ Stir-fry the vegetables and add the corned beef hash.
Add the tofu,

⑤ Mix in the tofu from earlier,
Sprinkle with salt and pepper, add a little soy sauce, and sesame oil for flavor.

Completed! !

How easy!

I feel like I've been eating it about once a week lately, but I never get tired of it!
Maybe I just like tofu.

I first learned about namafu when I was traveling to Kyoto some time ago, and was blown away by its deliciousness and texture! I was intrigued and wondered what this food was. However, namafu is hard to find, and even if it is, it is sold in quite large portions, so I haven't been able to eat it much since then.

So when I came across Fu Chanpuru on a trip to Okinawa, I was like "!!!" again.

It's easy to make and stores well, so it looks like this trend will continue for a while 😂

When served in the Yachimun pottery I bought in Okinawa, it looks even more delicious and I can't stop eating it!

The toothpick holder is hidden behind the large plate.

The Yachimun pottery I bought has a deigo arabesque motif, but it also features many other traditional patterns such as cobalt arabesque, gothic arabesque, dotted patterns, and floral prints. Each pattern has a meaning, and it is said that the ivy growing in various directions represents longevity and prosperity of descendants, while the twisted, straight arabesque pattern represents permanence and immutability.

It kind of looks like a rug, I thought.

I'd like to collect them little by little from now on ^^

Eat delicious food and get fully charged every day!

Finally, some photos from Okinawa 🌊🌅🌅
