TRADITIONAL JAPANESE CUISINE by Anna Dudnik group 102 a
GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS Japanese cuisine is the food - ingredients, preparation and way of eating - of Japan. The traditional food of Japan is based on rice with miso soup and other dishes, each in its own utensil, with an emphasis on seasonal ingredients. The side dishes often consist of fish, pickled vegetables, and vegetables cooked in broth. Fish is common in the traditional cuisine. It is often grilled, but it may also be served raw as sashimi or in sushi. Seafood and vegetables are also deep-fried in a light batter as tempura.
FOR BREAKFAST A traditional Japanese breakfast would include steamed rice, miso soup, green tea, and a variety of side dishes. Some of the most common side dishes are rice porridge or nanakusa-gayu, which is made of seven different herbs, rolled omelet, also known as tamagoyaki, tofu which is made of curdled soybean milk, ham and eggs, grilled eel fish, pickles, salad, dried seaweed, and nattō, which is fermented soybeans. Even though rice consumption in most Japanese households is said to be on the decline, rice is still considered to be the staple diet of the Japanese people. A steaming hot bowl of rice is included in most Japanese meals, and even the side dishes are served with rice! Apart from rice, most meals end with a round of green tea - exotic to the core!

FOR DESSERT The Japanese simply love their rice, and so you will find it in desserts as well from rice cakes to mochi! Another variation of mochi is daifuku, which is traditionally prepared during the Japanese New Year, and comes in many different kinds. Ichigo daifuku has a strawberry and red bean paste filling, whereas kuromame comes with a sweet black soybean stuffing. Dango preparations are similar to mochis, but are served on sticks and had with green tea. Taiyaki is a fish-shaped cake with red bean paste, custard, chocolate, or cheese filling. It is easily available, and a very popular dessert in Japan. Rice Cakes Mochi Dango Taiyaki
MY ATTITUTE I've always loved seafood… Of all the Japanese food I've tried only sushi, and now I’m fond of them. Especially California roll sushi. So I want to tell how to make sushi at home.
RECIPE Ingredients: ü Yield: 1 Roll = 8 pieces of sushi. ü 1/2 cup sushi rice. ü 1 nori sheets ü 80 gr Imitation crab meat (sticks). (Surimi) ü Avocado ü Black and/or white sesame seeds ü Tobiko(Flying fish roe) How to make a California roll Ø Wrap your bamboo mat with plastic wrap. This is necessary in order to prevent rice from sticking to the mat.
Ø Take a nori sheet, and break it in half. Place one half on the mat, with the shiny side facing down. Ø Grab a handful of prepared sushi rice, and spread it gently over the nori – about 1 cm high. There’s no need to press the rice onto the nori, only spread it. Ø Sprinkle a spoonful of Tobiko and/or sesame seeds evenly over the rice. Ø Flip the nori so that the rice is now facing down. Ø Line up the crab meat sticks along the nori. Ø Next to it, line up 1 -2 thick slices avocado. Ø Tip – if you’re not serving the dish immediately, you might want to squirt a few drops of lemon on the avocado, to prevent it from turning brown. Ø Roll. Ø Cut into 8 equal pieces. For best results first cut in half, then cut each half into two, and then again. Ø Best served with soy sauce, pickled ginger (gari) and wasabi.
I hope you’ll enjoy my favorite Japanese dish. Bon appetit!
