Japanese food is actually a no-go for me. I'm a big fan of East Asian food, but Japan really isn't my thing because it's too lush with spices. However, I noticed two dishes that stand out from normal Japanese food due to their heavy use of sugar and soy sauce. These are the Yakitori skewers made from chicken and the pork belly, which probably originally comes from China.
I summed it up as a menu, there were yakitori skewers, kakuni,...

Like so many things, this pork belly seems to have spilled over from China to Japan. With its overpopulation and the few areas that can be used for agriculture, Japan is of course not suitable for pig farming there. As I've seen the days, they don't even have enough space for rice, the staple food. Interestingly, it is imported from Italy, the only European country that produces surplus short-grain rice. So both rice and pork are...

Although originally from Japan, Japanese chicken skewers have become popular as street food throughout East Asia. If the cook is reasonably clean and doesn't smear the handles of the skewers with teriyaki sauce, they're easy to eat by hand. In the other case, you definitely need the opportunity to wash your hands, the sauce sticks to your hands worse than honey and sugar syrup together.
It doesn't really matter whether you put the...

I included the cucumber salad in my Japanese rice table, but it's not really Japanese. Rather, it is played with Asian flavors. Sake and Japanese soy sauce come from Japan. But then a curry paste from Thailand comes into play. Nevertheless, the salad was a good source of vitamins for the Japanese menu.
Normally there is cilandro in the salad, I simply forgot to buy it. 2 servings Ingredients:
250 g mini cucumbers, cut into large...

Fritto misto is found not only in Italy but around the whole Mediterranean sea with various modifications. Of course, in Turkey, the near-East and North Africa no beer is used in the batter but I think with sparkling water you will achieve a similar effect.
One theory says that the Portuguese took the recipe to Japan, where it, adapted to the country, is known as Tempura.
There are in Italy the Fritto misto di verdura with pre-cooked...

Ropa vieja is known as the national dish of Cuba. It is a dish made with beef, peppers, tomatoes and onions. However, the recipe does not come from Cuba, but is a Sephardic dish (Jews expelled from the Iberian Peninsula, who settled mainly in the Ottoman Empire, but also in Northern Europe and America) and may have originated in the late Middle Ages. The main vegetable is the chickpea, which is still used in Spain. In Cuba, the...

On my last blog, I was a bit cautious with the name Schlemmerfilet, but if even competing companies can use the name, it can hardly be protected.
It is a coalfish fillet that is baked with a crust of butter, garlic, herbs and breadcrumbs as protection. 2 servings Ingredients:
70 g butter, soft
salt
1 large garlic clove, crushed with salt with the back of the knife
1 tablespoon dried tarragon
1 tablespoon dried chervil
100 g...

My Hessian cookbook doesn't give an exact origin, so it's probably eaten by all Hessians.
Fresh white cabbage has a very pithy bite, so various methods are used to soften it. The most common method is to vigorously knead the chopped cabbage with salt so that some of the sap comes out and the whole thing becomes soft. Here you use a different approach, the cabbage strips are cooked for about 5 minutes, which also creates the desired...
E Our spring shopping tour took place on April 20th, 2023. The Hessian sausage was long gone and we only had one portion of green sauce left in the freezer, so time to refill the pantry.
We stayed at the a&o Hotel right next to Frankfurt's Galluswarte. There is little to say about the hotel itself, except for unclean and too loud. In other words, we are still looking for the right hotel in Frankfurt for us.
D Am 20.04.2023 fand unsere...

In mid-April 2023, after the long pandemic, the Slow food fair finally took place again in the usual setting. In 2022 there was probably a heavily slimmed down version, but we didn't want to do that to ourselves. The trade fair has definitely become a lot fewer, half a hall was enough, which earlier was full.
What had increased a lot this time were the small product samples, which were much more sparingly. This also led to us buying...
