Tofu Shakshuka

Shakshuka, a popular mediterranean dish of baked egg and tomatoes have been one of my favorite breakfast dishes when I go out past years, and at home, I have been enjoying making different versions myself. First of all, my donabe can make the simple and delicious one-pot Shakshuka! Now, my go-to shakshuka is made with tofu, mushrooms, and cherry tomato sauce. You can enjoy with crusty bread, or pour it over roasted sweet potatoes like I usually do. I like to make a large batch to share out of a donabe , or you can transfer to small-size donabe (such as Izakaya Nabe or small Donabe Casserole) to make individual size. 


Cold Udon with Sesame Soymilk Sauce

Hiyashi Udon no Goma Tonyu Tsuyu Kake

This cold udon dish has a very tasty and refreshing broth made of soymilk and golden sesame paste. It’s poured over the udon and really makes the dish so special. For this broth, I use my Dashi Shoyu (rich dashi-flavored soy sauce) as a base seasoning. This Dashi Shoyu is extremely versatile and can be used it on its own as a seasoning for sautéed dish or can be mixed other liquid (can be just water) to make a broth or a sauce. So, I keep my Dashi Shoyu in my fridge always. Once you make a batch of it, you can keep it for up to a month or even longer.

The toppings can be basically anything you like, so you can be creative. 

 


Shichimi-Flavored Cherry Tomato & Mint Pasta

When the cherry tomatoes are slowly heated with garlic and blistered in the oil in donabe, the flavor becomes even more bright and perfectly juicy. Once the tomatoes are blistered, all you need to do is just add the spaghetti, and toss with some mint. Finish with shaved Parmesan cheese and a generous amount of Shichimi Togarashi to enjoy. This simple dish is so rich and flavorful. I always have a hard time to stop heating it.


Cherry Tomatoes in Garlic Olive Oil Sauce

This dish is ridiculously easy to make and always delicious. During the summer, I make this dish so often, serving it with a nice, crusty baguette. It also makes a nice topping for cream cheese on a cracker. Here, I introduce two versions of the dish and I hope you will get to try both.


Steamed Vegetables (Basic Steaming)

When I first tried simple vegetables steamed in Mushi Nabe, I was so surprised how pure and delicious they tasted. Mushi Nabe cooks vegetables fast and really brings out their natural flavors well. All I need to do is just get the seasonal high quality vegetables I like and steam in Mushi Nabe. Try those vegetable simply with a quick dipping sauce of some sea salt and extra virgin olive oil, or your choice of dipping sauce.


Steam-fry Shio-Koji Chicken, Green Beans, and Cherry Tomatoes

Chicken is quickly sautéed first, then steam-fried together with vegetables in Fukkura-san. Shio-koji marinated chicken has extra rich flavor with succulent texture. Drizzle some soy sauce and squeeze a generous amount of lemon as soon as the heat is turned off and the donabe is brought to the table, so they will sizzle with the residual heat in the skillet and becomes so aromatic.
