山椒の若い新芽が出回り始めました。山椒の若い新芽は、柔らかくて香りが良く、春の食卓にぴったりです。
山椒の若い新芽は、天ぷらや和え物、炒め物など、さまざまな料理に使われますが、私は木の芽味噌にするのが大好きです。木の芽味噌は、山椒の若い新芽と八丁味噌、みりん、酒、ざらめを混ぜ合わせた味噌です。
山椒の若い新芽のピリッとした風味と八丁味噌のコクがよく合っていて、ご飯やおにぎりとの相性も抜群です。
木の芽味噌は、田楽味噌としても楽しめます。田楽は、木の芽味噌を塗った豆腐やこんにゃくを焼いた料理です。山椒の若い新芽の香りが食欲をそそり、ご飯がどんどん進みます。
山椒の若い新芽は、旬の食材なので、ぜひこの時期に味わってみてください。
Young shoots of sansho pepper have started to appear. The young shoots of sansho pepper are soft and fragrant, perfect for the spring dining table.
The young shoots of sansho pepper are used in various dishes such as tempura, salads, and stir-fries, but I love to make them into “kinome miso”. Kinome miso is a mixture of young shoots of sansho pepper, Hatcho miso, mirin, sake, and coarse sugar.
The pungent flavor of the young shoots of sansho pepper and the richness of Hatcho miso blend well together, making it an excellent accompaniment to rice balls and rice.
Kinome miso can also be enjoyed as “takuan miso”. Takuan is a dish where tofu or konjac coated with kinome miso is grilled. The aroma of the young shoots of sansho pepper stimulates your appetite and makes you want to eat more rice.
Sansho pepper’s young shoots are in season, so please try them out during this time.
Of course, spending time alone is important for relaxing, but for me, the most comfortable and relaxing time is spent with someone else. Here at Hinatabocco, having friends of the same age who are working hard gives me energy and allows me to continue growing. Why don’t you try sunbathing here at this opportunity?
