2 . ‘Kimu-Taku’ Mackerel Mazegohan
‘Kimu-Taku’ Mackerel Mazegohan
The combination of ‘Kimchi’ and ‘Takuan’ (Japanese Pickled Daikon) is very popular. ‘Kimu-Taku’ Rice is an example that you can cook with them. Today I made this ‘Mazegohan’ using a can of Mackerel. ‘Mazegohan’ is a Japanese dish of Rice. Rice and other ingredients are cooked separately and mixed together after they are cooked. However, you don’t need to cook anything to make this dish if you have already cooked Rice. Just mix everything together. This messy looking dish is actually really yummy.
Ingredient
2 tablespoons
Kimchi
1 teaspoon
Sesame Oil
1 teaspoon
Toasted Sesame Seeds
1-2 teaspoons
Soy Sauce *alter the amount
1 can (120 g)
Mackerel in Brine *drained
1/2 sheet
Toasted Nori *torn into small pieces
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Cut ‘Takuan’ (Pickled Daikon) into small pieces OR strips. Cut Kimchi into smaller pieces if large.
* Step 2
Place drained Mackerel, ‘Takuan’, Kimchi, Sesame Oil and Sesame Seeds in a mixing bowl, add Soy Sauce and mix well.

3 . Iceberg Lettuce & Egg Salad with Gochujang Sesame Dressing
Iceberg Lettuce & Egg Salad with Gochujang Sesame Dressing
Today I was going to cook ‘Stir-fried Iceberg Lettuce & Egg’ with a sauce made with Gochujang (Korean Spicy Miso). However, the weather was hot and I wanted to make something easier. Then I decided to make a salad instead of stir-fry. I cooked Eggs and it didn’t take long at all, then I combined everything in a mixing bowl. I added Toasted Nori, and it was a good idea. The salad was delicious and I enjoyed it very much.

5 . Spicy Teriyaki Tofu Rice Bowl
Spicy Teriyaki Tofu Rice Bowl
Softer type Tofu is tricky to use for stir-fry dishes. Then you should use Fried Tofu, that is available in a thick slice OR smaller pieces. Deep-fried medium soft Tofu are crunchy outside and softer inside. Today I pan-fried the Fried Tofu and made this rice bowl. Super easy and absolutely delicious. It is vegan, but any meat lovers would enjoy this dish.
