Miso grilled squid

The sea catfish, also known as "Sergeant", is distributed in all sea areas except the Eastern Pacific Ocean, especially near Taiwan waters. They are deep-sea warm-water fish. Due to their continuous swimming in the sea, they have the advantages of plump and elastic meat and rich in unsaturated fatty acids. In Taiwan, more fishermen have settled on them off the coast of Penghu and use box nets to breed them. Since the breeding period is not very long, they are very cost-effective and are very popular in the Japanese market. Today we will use Japanese methods to present a seafood delicacy.

Pork and Ginger Yaki (Pork and Ginger Yaki)

This dish is also one of the top ten most popular recipes in Japan. As the saying goes, eat radish in winter and ginger in summer. It doesn’t take doctors to prescribe medicine. Ginger has been considered to have the effect of prolonging life since ancient times. In fact, not only in summer, ginger can be eaten all year round. It has the effects of increasing appetite, suppressing vomiting, promoting blood circulation and dispelling cold. Especially in the hot summer, it has stimulating, perspiration-cooling, refreshing, and antibacterial effects. Regular consumption of ginger can also delay aging. This dish mainly uses ginger juice and lean tenderloin meat (Youyou chose Kuroba pork from Kagoshima Prefecture this time), and then stir-fries it with onions and green peppers. Nutritious, appetizing, delicious and healthy. Tips: For ginger juice, Youyou directly uses the freshly squeezed ginger juice that has been prepared before, so that you don’t have to squeeze the ginger juice every time. It is simple and convenient. When you want to use it, take it out of the refrigerator and pour it out directly. (But if you want to store ginger juice, you need to mix it with lemon and honey. I will share this next recipe. If you like Youyou’s recipes, please follow Youyou. Youyou will update them one after another, hehe!)

White radish amberjack

Amberjack (scientific name: Seriola quinqueradiata) is a type of marine fish. It is mainly distributed in the Sea of Japan and the waters south of Taiwan. It is a migratory carnivorous fish. In my country, it is also known as hamachi, safe fish, and hamachi, and in Guangdong, it is called sweet potato. The maximum length of adult amberjack can reach 1.5 meters and the weight is 40 kilograms; but the general body length is 1 meter and the weight is about 8 kilograms. The most famous amberjack producing area in Japan is Toyama Bay facing the Sea of Japan. As it grows from a juvenile to an adult, it changes its name every time it gets older. Therefore it has more than 100 names in Japan. Only when the amberjack grows to over 80cm can it be called the birth fish, its official name. The meaning of birth in Japanese is similar to the Chinese word for rapid success. Because of its delicious taste and a very auspicious name, it is very popular among Japanese people. Among the auspicious fish eaten on New Year’s Eve in Japan, amberjack is as famous as salmon. Especially in the Kansai region, amberjack is an indispensable fish during the first month of the year. As a migratory fish, adult amberjack will go south to spawn after February every year. The amberjack before spawning is rich in fat and is the fattest. The Japanese call the amberjack at this time kanreli (cold amberjack); therefore, the dishes made are also the most delicious. (The fat content of amberjack will be significantly reduced after spawning). Yellowtail is also prepared in various ways in Japan, such as sashimi, sushi, miso pickles, grilled and boiled. When boiled, the most famous one is the white radish yellowtail dish. Yellowtail is not only delicious, but also rich in nutrients. Amberjack is known as a brain-tonifying food. Because it contains highly unsaturated fatty acids that are essential for human brain nutrition: DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). In addition to preventing the deposition of cholesterol on blood vessel walls and preventing or reducing the occurrence of atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease, more importantly, DHA plays an extremely important role in brain cells and is also extremely beneficial to the growth and development of brain nerve conduction and synapses. Experiments have shown that adequate intake of DHA and an increase in the DHA value in the human brain can activate brain nerve cells, improve brain function, and enhance judgment. Therefore, it is also an essential nutrient for teenagers to enhance their intelligence, strengthen their memory, and improve their learning ability. Scientists' research shows that DHA only exists in fish and a few shellfish. Other foods such as soybeans, butter, vegetable oil, lard, vegetables and fruits almost do not contain DHA. Therefore, from the perspective of nutrition and brain health, if people want to obtain enough DHA, the simplest and most effective way is to eat more amberjack. Having said so much, let’s take a look at how it is done!

Salt-roasted Matsusaka pork

Matsusaka pork refers to the meat located on both sides of the pork neck. The fat distribution is very even. It is slightly fatter than the tenderloin, but it does not feel too greasy at all. The protein, fatty acid, and heme content are relatively high. For people who do not eat fatty meat, it has a good iron and blood supplement effect. Since a pig can only cut about half a catty of pork neck meat at most, it is also called Golden Six Liang.

Teriyaki Braised Egg

A braised egg dish made with Japanese seasonings, including mirin, sake, soy sauce and ginger and garlic. These are actually the main ingredients of Japanese teriyaki sauce. Using these ingredients to make braised eggs has a unique flavor and is very similar to teriyaki sauce. Originally, it would be better to boil the soft-boiled eggs, but since the bird flu is so severe right now, I'd better just boil them and eat them. But don't overcook it, as cooking it until the surface of the egg yolk changes color will destroy the nutrients.
