Authentic Japanese Cooking Simmered Soybeans and Vegetables [Gomokuni] (2017x14)

:

Our theme for this episode is simmering. We'll be making gomokuni, a beautifully colorful simmered dish with six different ingredients, including soy beans, an indispensable ingredient in Japanese cooking. In addition, we'll also be making agedashi tofu, a popular standard at izakaya pubs. We'll show you how to prepare your ingredients to make your gomokuni look all the more delicious, and the right times to add each seasoning. For the agedashi tofu, we'll teach you the techniques to fry the tofu with a deliciously crisp coating, and the trick to making a wonderfully glossy sauce perfect for coating the tofu.
