MY DEAR GOHAN

Wash rice

Place rice in a bowl, add ample water, stir quickly, and discard the cloudy water immediately.
Why? The smell of bran is not good. In Europe for example when make Paella, spanish fiish and rice, almost don`t wash rice. This is very big differrence. First stir very quickly and after wash many time until the water clear. Then let stand for 30 minutes so rice absorb moisture. If you hurry water inclease a little.
In Pots or Pan.Place rinsed rice and water in a heavy pot, cover and heat on mediam for 10 minutes.
Mizukagen=the balance of water and rice is difficult at first. Put middle finger stand on rice and water is coming a little over first finger joint. But at first you leane from Japanese teacher. Next boil strong fire about 15 minuts. And stop the fire.
And 10 minutes let stand.
For make good rice you never take out pot cover.

Old words says

Hajime chorochoro=first fire not strong

Naka pappa=midle in strong fire

Akago naitemo futa toruna=baby cry but vever pot cover off

We can cooks electric rice cooker. It can make costantly, but not very tasty.
Of course the problem is we can select how good rice. Indica rice don`t cook like this. In Helsinki we can buy in Tokyo-kan Japanese rice or in Stockman you can get Sushi-mai. In Talline`s Stockman you get Sushi-mai. But they are so expensive. You buy short grain rice as alternative.

KITSUNE UDON

About kitsune see `Inari Zushi`.Kitsune is a fox,and a messenger of Gods.
And very like fried tofu.So this means `Hot noodle with fried tofu`.
Near the trainig place of Imazu Bujutsu Dojou there is a Udon shop.Kauko`s favorite was Kitsune Udon this shop.There put top of the udon bonita flake and he ask remove bonita.After that every time Kauko went clerk shout `katsonuki icchou!`(one person without bonita).
Kitsune udon is especially Osaka person`s favorite,they pronounce this `ketsune uron`.There are the ketune special shop in Kuromon Market or Shisaibashi everyman know.
When cook Kitsune udon prepare 3 small pans.One is for boil age,another one is for dashi=soup,and one more is boil noodle.
Boil Inari age thick strong taste with sugar and soysauce.I don`t like sweet,every one can regulate.Usually you don`t cut into dice cut or cube cut but a half cut of whole.
Soup make by bonita usually but in zen cooking use konbu and shiitake.
See `dashi`.
We boil udon not so soft.
Donburi is made for udon eating big cup.Enter donburi udon,pour dashi soup and load kitsune,with a little ginger and reek.

CURRY UDON

In modern Japanese curry comes England.
The imperialists meet to Indian curry,change mild western style.
They make so called curry roux,Indian flaverd westernstyle roux.
In modern Japan cookers experienced England curry,thought `this is very good taste but how can make it easy`.They use long time study,create sorid curry material.So Japanese curry is very different from Indians.
In Tashou period Indian indipendent revolution is liven up,many revolutionalis come to Japan.Named Borse Indian leader come and hide by Mr.and Mis.Soma.They are poet and have a restaurant named Nakamuraya.Borse thanks their care and surprised so called curry rice in Japan,teach some Indian currey for their restaurant.This is the origine of Indian Curry in Japan.
Now we make or eat Indian curry but usually it is spcial case.We use Japanese style curry roux.

Curry udon is very special Japanese food.We put on the udon and soysauce dashi,pour Japanese curry.

We introduce a way use Koyadoufu.

HIYA-YAKKO

Soup is finish and from here start Tofu cooking.
Tofu is Japanese usual food.Very rich man as Rosanjin Kitaoji(Make fafous Japanses restaurant and supply Japan dishes to high end class)loves Hiya-yakko best.Wives of coal miners in north Kyusho also love yakko only put tofu on the rice and pour only soysauce.Every Japanese love Hiya-yakko in evry way.
hiya=cold
yakko=square cut.I comes from design of cloth of shake spear.In Edo age when Daimyou move with its bodyguard and they called Yarimochi-yakko.Their cloth design include square mark.By the way the penname of Shakespear comes from this,but not Japanese.
One more thing,there is in Tofu a difference of Momen and Kinu.Momen is cotton,Kinu is silk.But its not difference how to make.Kinu is a little much
water component.We use as Yakko both.
We cut Tofu from left.Row fish or takuwan etc all cut from support left hand and right hand from right cut.But only Tofu cut from left end to right. Tofu is easy to crush,like as hold Buddha`s baby deal politely.
We cut tofu 1 piace in 6 to 10.Depnd on for how many person or how hugry.
As a souce only soysauce and a little add sour from yuzu,kabosu,not sweat orange.Or boil soysauce and bonita.And one more is Yakumi.Cut Ohoba(shiso),yuzu oroshi,myouga is all hard to get.Ginger,shichimi,bonita etc possible.Choice two from them.
Taste of Tofu is pale.And souce and yakumi is important.
It not insist like some meat or fish.But give us deep messages.

YUDOFU

Yu=hot water

Yudofu=tofu in the hotwater
Yudofu and Hiya-yakko is eat way the tohu representative two way.
Yudofu is especially in winter,and Hiya-yakko is in summer,but favorite tofu eater both in summer and winter.
Tsujitome is the author of the “Tofu Cooking”.He is manager and cooker of famous traditional restaurant and cooking writer.My boyhood I learned from him through his ten more books.His “A book of Gohan””Misoshiru 365 days””Tsugitome Home Cooking” etc was my best text book.
The top of“Tofu Cooking” has foreword.Mantaro Kubota wrote some song.Kubota is very famous poet and drama maker.I try to introduce.
Minofuyuno In my old winter
Todono tsumariha At last I eat
Yudofuno of Yudofu
Awre hikagen ukikagen Pity fire adjustment and floating
Tsukiha kakurete The moon hide
Ameto nari Its rain strted
Ame mata yukito narishikana rain changed in snow
Shosen konoyoha hitorinari after all I am alone in this world
Nakumo waraumo Weep or laugh
Nakumo waraumo hitorinari Weep or laugh I am alone
Kubota make song of Yudofu,through that sing loneliness of old.After that Rokuzaemon Kineya,make Kouta song.But he added last one prase”samuosuna”.Samuosuna means “It is very cold,isn`t it”.This is Kyoto word and woman word and some lady come to this lonly old hopeless man.
My mother was teacher of Kouta and Sonohachi,and she want before death teach me some.She selected first was this song so this is a special memory.
About Yudofu soup,various opinions.
Some one konbu is the best.
Baked Ayu=white fish is more.
No,Haze is the best.No no cod is good.
Tsujitome says every way is wonderful,but it is for vivid the taste of water.If use chicken soup it too strong and it is not Yudofu.
Boil tofu but floating up it is too late to taste.After move tofu before float you catch.Outside hot but inside exactly warm.This is not special technique but only watch and take off.
Soysauce of Yudofu is soup 3,soysauce 6,mirin 1 in the sauce pan add bonita flake.Mirin already contain a little sugar so do not add sugar.Tsujitome says sauce is cold better.
We say Yakumi various spice.You can chois 2,3 kind from bonita,leak,nori,fried sesami,radish,ginger,wasabi,yuzu orange,shichimi(seven hot spices),ichimi(one hot spice),etc.
From here plan.I continu till 100 Tofu cooking.

NIGARI STORY

How to make and use tofu is originally China came.Various soy beans products for example yuba,atsuage,usuage,Miso,soy sauce,nattou ets are all coming from China.Only Japanese natto is found in Japan in very old Joumon age.China commig natou is quite differrennt.In many case Japavese student of Buddhism leaned about tofu also. In China they made hard tofu use gypsum(S-Ca) and Na-Mg in two way.
When Japanese monk return to home,some Chinese monk said "In your country there is rich Na-Mg by the sea.Use make tofu Na-Mg" and Japanese tofu use Na-Mg. But after that long histiry Japanese tofu maker made use not only Na-Mg but also use S-Ca.They made Japan special soft tofu called it Kinugoshi dofu,and use Na-Mg as Momen dofu.Kinu is silk,momen is cotton.But its not use any Kinu or Cotton cloth,only products is soft or hard.
Boil soy beans and into linen sack and squeese,make soy milk.Add Na-Mg or S-Ca make hard.But Japanese both tofu compare China very soft.You can find in Helsinki or Talline supermarket easy find Chinese tofu,it is not for Japanese cooking use.
