A Happy New Year

≪Kura-cooking≫8 months has passed since last April.

Thank you very much for your support, and please support me in the future.

I ‘m always learning about cooking and health to create better recipes.

I make traditional Japanese New Year dishes (Osechi), I made 16 dishes this year.

They were:

Cooked black beans, cooked white beans, dried sardines cooked in soy sauce and sugar, chestnut paste, cooked gobies, cooked lily bulbs with sour plum, rolled dry-cured ham with dried persimmons and cream cheese, cooked vegetables with chicken, rolled kelp with burdocks and beef, baked chicken paste with miso and walnuts, cooked burdock, rolled egg, red and white fish paste, herring roe with dried bonito, marinated turnips, cooked dried tofu with chicken paste.

A new dish this year was “Cooked burdock”. Every year my homemade Osechi changes a little.

My husband, son and daughter, who live separately, also love to make “Osechi”

My husband made baked chicken paste with walnuts and miso this year. It was really delicious. It was like terrine.

My daughter made rolled kelp, dried sardine cooked in soy sauce and sugar. Her technique was very good .　She also put all the dishes we made into special square lacquer boxes.

My son made chestnut paste and rolled fry-cured ham quickly.

I really enjoy making “Osechi” with my family.

I have been teaching my family how to make dishes for many years.

It’s the origin of ≪Kura-cooking≫

Please come to the” Kura” to learn about Japanese cooking, or see my blog.
