Notes about this book

  • mjes on August 26, 2021

    Rice balls with shio koji and pickled plum (pg 137). I cheated and bought my shio koji rather than spending a week fermenting my own. Now that I have a sense of what it should be, I'm willing to make my own. The rice is cooked in the shio koji. Then it is shaped into onigiri balls wrapped in sea weed and topped with pickled plum.

    Pickled daikon radish with zesty yuzu (pg 88) -- by necessity I used dried yuzu peel. This is a typical rice vinegar, mirin, kombu dressing with yuzu added. A very nice pickle that will definitely be repeated.
