Although it seems impossible, tomorrow will be the new year’s eve, so today’s recipe is the last recipe of 2018.

If you remember, this year I started with my Ramen low carb recipe and with my purpose of publishing a recipe inspired by Japanese cuisine every month, so it seemed nice to close the year with the latest Japanese recipe: tuna tataki with black sesame. It is a simple recipe, easy to prepare and perfect for holidays, to impress your guests.

This year has been great for me, I have had the opportunity to grow and learn a lot, I have seen far away places, I have experimented with new ingredients and techniques, and above all, thanks to all of you, I have felt that I am contributing something positive with my work in the kitchen. I want to thank all the people who follow me, who read my recipes, who write to me and ask me, all your support makes me keep creating recipes, contents, and tools so that healthy eating is easier and more fun.

Thank you all, with all your heart and happy 2019!

After more than a month and a half in Japan, I can say without a doubt that soba is one of my favorite Japanese dishes. Whether cold or hot, these delicious thin noodles are great. Also, what many do not know is that the word “soba” means buckwheat in Japanese, in fact, these noodles are usually made 100% buckwheat flour (although there are also mixed with common wheat).

These noodles, in their hot version, are usually served in a bowl of broth accompanied by different toppings that can change according to the season. As I am a lover of autumn (which is the current season in Japan), I have used the food of this season to create this excellent recipe for fall soba. It is a recipe that is easy to make and has a unique flavor. Especially recommended for cold days.

If you want to make the vegan version of this recipe, you would only have to change the 240 gr of meat for 1 cup of cooked beans.

Following my promise to publish a recipe inspired by Japanese cuisine every month, today I have decided to present my recipe for brown rice onigiri.

Onigiri is one of the best-known Japanese dishes in the world; they are triangularly shaped rice balls that can be filled with many different things, often wrapped in nori seaweed. My version of the onigiri is with brown rice instead of white.

The filling of the onigiri can vary a lot, from the most classic with salmon or umeboshi (salty Japanese plums) to the newest with tuna and mayonnaise, so let’s go to use our fantasy with fillings 😉

Phase 1 · Phase 4 Serves: 2 Prep Time: Cooking Time:

Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup of whole-grain Japanese rice (uruchimai) *
  • 1 1/3 cup of water
  • 1 pinch of sea salt or pink
  • 2 - 4 sheets of nori seaweed (F4)
  • Stuffed tuna and ginger (F1):
  • 1 can of tuna (packed in water)
  • 1 piece of 2cm fresh ginger
  • 1 tablespoon of tamari sauce
  • Stuffing salmon and chives (F4):
  • 50 gr of fresh salmon
  • 1/2 spring onion
  • 1 teaspoon of sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon raw sesame seeds (optional)
  • Sea salt or pink

Instructions

  1. Put in a tall pot, rice, water, and salt, cover the pot and bring to a boil over high heat.
  2. When the rice water starts to boil, lower the heat and let it boil covered, for about 40 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, prepare the filling you have chosen for your onigiri.
  4. For stuffing tuna and ginger (F1): Drain the tuna entirely and put it in a bowl; Grate the fresh ginger over the tuna and spread the tamari sauce little by little, it should not remain liquid in the filling.
  5. For the stuffing of salmon and spring onion (F4): cut the salmon into cubes and finely chop the chives; in a small pan, put the sesame oil and sauté the onion and salmon a few minutes; add salt and add the sesame seeds (optional); let it cool.
  6. When the rice has absorbed all the water and is perfectly cooked, let it cool.
  7. With slightly wet hands, take a handful of rice and shape it into a ball, with one finger, make a hole in the center and place part of the chosen filling, cover the hole with a little more filling and give the onigiris the typical Triangular shape.
  8. [Optional] With hands completely dry, cut a strip of nori seaweed of the appropriate dimension to wrap the onigiri. Put the onigiri in the center of the strip and wrap it. Lightly wet the ends of the alga so that it sticks better.
  9. You get about 4 large onigiri or 6 smaller ones.

This recipe is suitable for Phase1 (tuna filling) and Phase 4 – FMD P1 and P4. With these quantities, you get 2 servings of grains for Phase 1 with a little protein for <20 pounds.

Notes

*For this recipe, it is important to use short grain rice, the ideal is Japanese rice. You can find it in the section of oriental products of many supermarkets, look for sushi and whole. Long-grain rice, such as basmati and wild rice, do not work for this recipe. - WARNING FOR CELIAC: always check that the products that you use are certified without gluten, for who has doubts in this respect can be informed in the following link: https://bit.ly/GlutenFreeSymbol

We are already in September, so it is time for a new Japanese recipe. Today’s recipe is a straightforward recipe and easy to prepare, one of the most iconic dishes of Japanese cuisine: the sushi chirashi.

The chirashi is also called “scattered sushi,” in a few words it is sushi in a bowl; the base is rice and usually carries vegetables, seaweed, and fish. This is without doubt one of my favorite recipes, the version I propose is with wild rice and fresh salmon, but I recommend you try it with tuna or prawns. Along with the salmon I used radishes, cucumbers, and seaweed which are the most common vegetables in this type of preparation but added my personal touch with a handful of radish sprouts. You can prepare this recipe also with other sprouts or a little rocket.

Accompany it with a little sunomono for a perfect Japanese dinner.

I hope you like it 🙂

Also this month, I continue with my promise to publish a recipe inspired by Japanese cuisine every month. This promise I made was one of my New Year’s resolutions, and the truth is that I am thrilled, since, until now, I have been able to fulfill it. This idea came to me because in September I will travel to Japan for the first time and I am very excited.

The recipe that I propose today is straightforward to prepare and requires only a few ingredients. It is a very light and fresh cucumber salad called sunomono. It is an ideal recipe for summer since it does not require cooking and it is eaten cold. It is a very comfortable and versatile dish and can be used as an appetizer or as an accompaniment to a more consistent dish such as a roast, for example. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do 🙂

Phase 1 · Phase 2 · Phase 3 Serves: 1 - 2 Prep Time: Cooking Time:

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon of pink or marine salt
  • 1 teaspoon mix of dried seaweed in F3 (optional)
  • 1 pinch of black pepper

Instructions

  1. Peel the cucumbers, leaving some strip of skin on each cucumber so that they are scratched.
  2. Cut the cucumbers into thin slices; It is ideal to make them with the mandolin, although a sharp knife also works.
  3. Put the cucumber slices, add the salt and mix well. Let stand about 5 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix the birch xylitol or the stevia, the grated or powdered ginger, the tamari sauce and the vinegar. If you use the xylitol, you have to beat until it is completely dissolved, if it is necessary, the vinegar can be heated slightly to make it easier.
  5. With your hands, squeeze the slices of cucumber a little so that they release part of their water.
  6. Mix the cucumber with the sauce, and leave in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
  7. Just before serving, sprinkle each portion with one piece of black pepper.
  8. [OPTIONAL] In F3, you can sprinkle with the seaweed that you prefer.
