Full Recipe↓ Day 89/100 | YAKITORI DON 🛒 INGREDIENTS: Servings: 1 - Rice: 1 bowl - Leek: 80g - Chicken thighs: 150g - White wine: 1/2 tbsp - Salt & pepper: pinches - Flour: 1/2 tbsp [Seasoning] - White wine: 1 1/2 tbsp - Soy sauce: 1 tbsp - Sugar: 1 tbsp - Water: 1 tbsp - Grated ginger: 1 tsp 🧑‍🍳 METHOD: 1. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and marinate with white wine, salt, and pepper for 10 minutes. 2. Cut the leek into 4–5 cm batons. 3. Lightly dust the marinated chicken with flour. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat and pan-fry the chicken until golden and cooked through. 4. Add the leek pieces and cook until lightly browned. 5. Pour in the sauce ingredients and simmer over medium-low heat until glossy and thickened. 6. Serve hot over warm rice in a bowl. 💡 KEY POINTS: - In this recipe, we're swapping traditional Sake and Mirin for white wine and sugar in a certain conversion formula. As a Japanese home cook, I assure you it works perfectly to replicate the authentic taste. Only one simple rule you need to follow: 👉 Make sure to use a DRY and LOW-ACIDITY WINE (e.g. Pinot Gris). A cheap one is fine, but avoid using fruity wine. ⛩️ TRADITIONAL OPTION: - Swap 1/2 tbsp white wine (to marinate chicken) for 1/2 tbsp sake. - Swap 1 1/2 tbsp white wine (for the seasoning) for 1 tbsp mirin and 1/2 tbsp sake, and reduce sugar from 1 tbsp to 1/2 tbsp. ⚠️ DISCLAIMER: Not affiliated with or endorsed by TESCO. #yakitori #JapaneseRecipes #JapaneseCooking #EasyRecipe #Tesco

Full Recipe↓ Day 100/100 | JAPANESE CURRY 🛒 INGREDIENTS: Servings: 3-4 - Pork loin: 120g - Potato: 100g - Onion: 100g - Carrot: 80g - Ginger: 1 knob - Garlic: 1 clove - Chicken stock: 1/2 cube - Water: 600ml [Curry roux (A)] - Curry powder*: 1 1/2 tbsp - Plain flour: 2 tbsp - Cornflour: 1 tbsp - Water: 60ml [Sauce mixture (B)] - Sugar: 1 tbsp - White wine: 3 tbsp - Soy sauce: 2 tbsp - Worcestershire sauce: 1 tsp - Ketchup: 2 tsp - Salt and pepper: pinch * I mixed 1 tbsp Tesco Mild Curry Powder + 1/2 tbsp Tesco Medium Curry Powder. 🧑‍🍳 METHOD: 1. Mix the curry roux ingredients (A) together in a small bowl. Mix the sauce mixture ingredients (B) in a separate bowl. 2. Grate the garlic and ginger. 3. Thinly slice the pork. Cut the carrot into rolling wedges, and cut the potatoes and onion into bite-sized chunks. 4. Heat oil in a pot over medium heat and sauté the garlic and ginger until fragrant. 5. Add the pork and cook until lightly browned, letting flavourful fond build on the bottom of the pot. 6. Add water, chicken stock, and the vegetables, scraping up the browned bits from the base. 7. Bring to a boil. 8. Once boiling, and skim the scum, then add the sauce mixture. 9. Cover with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 7 to 8 minutes until the vegetables are tender. 10. Turn off the heat, give the curry roux a quick stir to loosen, and thoroughly dissolve it into the broth. 11. Bring back to a gentle simmer to thicken, then remove from the heat. (Letting it cool to room temperature before serving deepens the flavour.) 12. Reheat gently and ladle over hot rice. 💡 KEY POINTS: - 99% of Japanese households rely on store-bought curry blocks, but if you can’t find them, don't worry. Using plain flour, cornflour, curry powder, and a dash of ketchup and Worcestershire sauce, you can recreate that nostalgic Japanese curry roux from scratch. ⛩️ TRADITIONAL OPTION: - Use Japanese curry roux cubes (e.g. S&B Golden Curry), and omit chicken stock, seasoning and curry roux in the recipe. ⚠️ DISCLAIMER: Not affiliated with or endorsed by TESCO. #japanesecurry #JapaneseRecipes #JapaneseCooking #EasyRecipe #Tesco

Full Recipe↓ Day 99/100 | TONJIRU 🛒 INGREDIENTS: Servings: 3-4 - Pork loin: 100g - Carrot: 60g - Radish: 80g - Potato: 80g - Cabbage: 100g - Sesame oil: 1/2 tbsp - Water: 700ml - White wine: 1 tbsp - Grated ginger: 2 tsp [Miso mixture] - Miso: 3 tbsp - Soy sauce: 1 tsp - Ground sesame seeds: 1 tbsp 🧑‍🍳 METHOD: 1. Mix the miso, soy sauce and ground sesame together in a small bowl. 2. Thinly slice the pork. Grate the ginger. 3. Cut the carrot and potato into bite-sized chunks, chop the cabbage, and peel and slice the radish into thirds. 4. Heat sesame oil in a pot and stir-fry the pork until lightly browned and flavourful browned bits stick to the bottom. 5. Pour in the water and add white wine, grated ginger, and the vegetables, scraping up the browned bits from the base. 6. Cover with a lid and simmer over low heat for 8 minutes until the root vegetables are tender. 7. Turn off the heat, let the bubbling subside, and gently dissolve in the miso mixture. 💡 KEY POINTS: - Dashi is usually essential for miso soup, but this Tonjiru recipe skips it entirely. Bowning the pork builds a rich, natural umami base, while ground sesame, soy sauce, white wine and fresh ginger add warmth and depth of flavour. No specialty stock required. - In this recipe, I used Itsu Miso'easy Traditional and found it works amazingly. 👉 If you don't know what miso to use, just grab the Itsu one. If you want to level up later on, you can always hunt down imported Japanese miso. (Not sponsored or affiliated.) ⛩️ TRADITIONAL OPTION: - Add 1/2 tsp dashi powder, and omit ground sesame seeds and soy sauce. ⚠️ DISCLAIMER: Not affiliated with or endorsed by TESCO. #tonjiru #JapaneseRecipes #JapaneseCooking #EasyRecipe #Tesco

Full Recipe↓ Day 83/100 | TOFU DANGO 🛒 INGREDIENTS: Servings: 3-6 skewers - Silken Tofu: 160g - Plain Flour: 110g [Mitarashi Sauce] - Soy Sauce: 1 1/2 tbsp - Sugar: 3 tbsp - White wine: 3 tbsp - Cornflour: 1 tbsp - Water 100 ml 🧑‍🍳 METHOD: 1.

Transfer the tofu to a bowl and mash until completely smooth (or press through a fine sieve). 3. Add the flour and knead together until a smooth, pliable dough forms. 4. Roll the dough into bite-sized balls (about 2–3 cm). 5. Bring a pot of water to a boil and drop the dango in. Once they float to the surface, boil for an additional 5-6 minutes to cook through. 6. Transfer immediately to a bowl of cold water to cool, then drain well. 7. Thread 3 to 4 dango onto each bamboo skewer. 8. In a small pan, combine all sauce ingredients over medium-low heat.

A cheap one is fine, but avoid using fruity wine. - Mizukiri: Wrap your tofu in a double layer of kitchen paper on a heatproof plate (no cling film) and microwave at 600W for 2–3 minutes. Let it cool slightly, then discard the paper - the excess moisture steams right out. 👉 No microwave? Check Day 19 for the traditional method. ⛩️ TRADITIONAL OPTION: - Swap white wine for mirin (same amount) and reduce sugar from 3 tbsp to 1 1/2 tbsp. ⚠️ DISCLAIMER: Not affiliated with or endorsed by TESCO. #tofudango #JapaneseRecipes #JapaneseCooking #EasyRecipe #Tesco

(Firm tofu is the more popular option.) 🧑‍🍳 METHOD: 1. Slice onion into 5mm strips, cut tofu into 1cm thick pieces, and thinly slice beef. 2. Pour boiling water over beef, let sit for 1 minute, drain, and coat with marinade. 3. Sauté onion in sesame oil. 4. Once the onion becomes translucent and slightly soft, add all the Sauce ingredients and bring to a boil. 5. Add beef and tofu, cover, and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes. 6.

Full Recipe↓ Day 82/100 | TONPEI YAKI 🛒 INGREDIENTS: Servings: 2 - Pork loin: 80g - Cabbage: 220g - Eggs: 3 - salt & pepper: pinches [Sauce] - Ketchup: 3 tbsp - Sugar: 3/4 tbsp - Soy sauce: 1 tbsp - Ground sesame seeds: 1 1/2 tbsp [Topping] - Mayonnaise - Scallions 🧑‍🍳 METHOD: 1. Mix all the sauce ingredients. 2. Thinly slice the pork and finely shred the cabbage. 3. Whisk the eggs in a bowl. 4. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Stir-fry the pork until coloured, add the cabbage and cook until wilted, then season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a plate and set aside. 5. In a separate pan, heat oil over medium-low heat. Pour in the eggs and cook until soft-set. Place the pork and cabbage filling just below the centre, then gently fold the egg over to wrap. 6. Slide the omelette onto a plate and drizzle with the sauce, mayonnaise, and chopped scallions. 💡 KEY POINTS: - Some people say you must use Kewpie mayo for authentic Japanese food, but I’d say it’s just a 'nice to have'—not the core of the flavour. I often used non-brand mayo even when I lived in Japan. 👉 Just use standard supermarket mayonnaise. If you want to take it a step further later on, then you can hunt down Kewpie. ⛩️ TRADITIONAL OPTION: - Use okonomiyaki sauce instead of the handmade sauce. - Use Kewpie Mayo. - Top with aonori and bonito flakes. ⚠️ DISCLAIMER: Not affiliated with or endorsed by TESCO. #tonpeiyaki #JapaneseRecipes #JapaneseCooking #EasyRecipe #Tesco
