• • Sekihan - 赤飯••

Tonight we are going to celebrate the お食い初め (100 days of Haruto's life) and for the occasion we decided to prepare at home some traditional dishes connected to this tradition ( I will post some pics later). One of them is 赤飯- Sekihan ( mochi rice with red beans).

Do you know that kind of dishes you always order in restaurant or buy in the shop, and every time you think “I should try to make this at home 🏡!”.

Well, with Sekihan I always procrastinated until yesterday, and I was incredibly impressed by the result. I am a big fan of mochi rice and I always thought it wasn’t something I could easily cook at home, but I was wrong. It came out easy to make, and delicious just like the one you can buy in the shop!

What you need is just mochi rice, dry red beans, a bit of salt and a a rice cooker (or also a big pot is ok!👍🏼).
After wash really wall the beans under cold water, boil them in abundant water until they are soft enough that you can brake the skin with your finger. Drain and keep the water. We will use it to give flavor and color to our mochi rice!

Wash the mochi rice, add the beans boiling water and let it rest for a minimum of 5 hours to overnight!After that, add a bit of salt, the beans you have boiled before, put everything in the rice cooker and press the start button!

When is ready, serve in a rice bowl with some black sesame sprinkle on the top and ... いただきます！

• Maitake - 舞茸 •

I have only started learning to appreciate mushrooms 🍄 once I arrived in Japan 🇯🇵 .

Since they are a staple food in Japanese cuisine, I learned about their different uses in different recipes, to appreciate their scents and textures, and I became curious about their nutritional properties, which are not only many, but they also bring great benefits both physically and psychologically.

Sir Maitake is a perfect example.

In Japanese, "Maitake" means "Dancing Mushroom," and the reason is because of the joy it brings when eaten.

My husband's words: "if you find it by chance in the woods or taste it in a hearty meal, you will feel like dancing because it is so good 😊 !" (It's no coincidence that Maitake is his favorite mushroom).

Maitake is an amazing antioxidant, is full of vitamins C, potassium, fiber, minerals, and amino acids. All elements that make this mushroom super healthy for our body.

Besides all of that, Maitake is also a good friend for our minds. Is, in fact, an Adaptogens, which means it helps to adapt our body and mind to environmental and psychological stress (this for holistic medicine).

Have you ever try them?
They have a soft, gummy texture with a delicate earthy flavor.

Here in Japan, I tried them in the miso soup, cook with rice, tempura, or simply grill.

My favorite version? 💯 焼きごはん　🍚 together with carrots and Rekon!

Next time that you see them in the grocery store, give them a try and you will not be disappointed!

•• It’s weekend time, but today a ready lunch to grab and go is really needed. The second day of vaccine for little Haruちゃん。Hope he will be okay this time as last month was a bit hard.

That time, after the vaccine he had a crisis of cry that last probably 2 hours (I said probably because for me it felt like 5 hours).

Don’t know if was because of the vaccine or his mood, but this time I and hubby are physiologically ready for any inconvenience 😂.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Today's oven to brown rice with gochujang, Nira, mushrooms, and carrots. Steamed spinach with olive oil and salt, umeboshi, and roasted onion seasoned with mayo and pepper.
