In this era where you can be happy without cooking, I want to cook using Momoya's Taberu Negi-yu

I am surprised myself at how often I have been cooking for myself lately.

Even though I was living alone at my parents' house as a high school student in place of my father who was always away on business, I barely cooked (I have no memory of how I survived), and I only started holding a kitchen knife properly after I started living with a roommate over a decade ago.
Now, I have evolved to the point where I can make a main dish, soup, and salad simultaneously in about 20 minutes. No, I have been put in an environment where I have no choice but to do so.
I haven't relied on UberEATS since March of last year, so I think I'm doing pretty well, don't you?
(Although, my previous job was like living at the office, so I have almost no memory of cooking properly during that time.)


Just as you know intellectually that mixing red and blue makes purple, if you continue to cook for many years, albeit reluctantly, you eventually get a sense of what kind of flavor you get by mixing which seasonings in what proportions.
Even so, I can't trust my own palate, so I still can't cook without a recipe.

Therefore, my home's regular lineup of seasonings covers everything from the recipe staples of soy sauce, mirin, cooking sake, and miso, to oyster sauce, fish sauce, and wine vinegar sauce. I believe that if I don't have them, I will fail.

I should also mention that I rely on ovens and electric pressure cookers, so I am not really cooking proactively myself.

The other day, an idol I support was selected for a commercial for a long-established seasoning manufacturer.

It is Momoya's "Crispy and Fragrant Fried Green Onion Oil".

The results of entertainment work are numbers and reputation.
To fulfill my duties as a fan, I went to buy it at a large supermarket in front of the station in the next town, and there was only one bottle left. How popular is it?

I got one bottle of green onion oil. I was wondering what kind of recipe to use it for, but I reached the conclusion that anything finished with "saltiness and oil" will probably be delicious.
I've been trying out random recipes for the past few days, but the potential of this product is so high that I'm in a state of having done nothing.

For those who are about to try cooking, making fried rice right away is quite a challenge.
For me, after standing in the kitchen for over a decade, it wasn't until I got an iron frying pan last year that I was able to make fried rice that I was satisfied with.
Cooking is a battle of how well your lineup of cookware and cooking environment are set up, and the cause of failure is often completely unrelated to the cook's ability.


So, please rest assured and try "just add it" cooking first.

Fried green onion oil menu items I've made in the last few days

■ Whitebait bowl with fried green onion oil

1. Serve rice
2. Top with whitebait
3. Drizzle with fried green onion oil ▶︎ Done

This can be made without a knife, and it is proper home cooking. Add egg yolk, kimchi, or pickles to your liking.

■ Eggplant and chicken somen noodles

1. Cut eggplant and chicken appropriately, drizzle with a little sesame oil, salt, and pepper, and wrap. Heat in the microwave for about 5 minutes
2. Put one bundle of somen noodles in a boiling pot. Once it starts boiling again, turn off the heat, cover, and leave for 5 minutes
(No need to boil)
3. Take out 1 and mix while adding residual heat
4. Rinse 2 with water, top with 2, and drizzle with fried green onion oil ▶ Done

It's perfectly fine without eggplant and chicken.
Somen is usually eaten as is anyway...

■ As a lettuce wrap sauce

1. Buy salad chicken
2. Shred it appropriately
3. Prepare lettuce and wrap the chicken and fried green onion oil ▶ Done

I used the chicken from Singapore chicken rice, but there is such a convenient thing as salad chicken in the world, so that is enough.

↓ This is a Kikkoman recipe, but it is very delicious. Recipe sites should be limited to manufacturer official ones.

If you feel that convenience store salad chicken is not enough, chicken thigh meat poked with a fork, sprinkled with sake, and microwaved for 2-3 minutes on each side is enough.


For those who are resistant to cooking, you don't have to think that you have to swing a frying pan around.
In this era where you can make delicious things just by waiting silently with minimal effort due to various corporate efforts.
Let's eat plenty of delicious things easily, taking pride in Momoya's reliability and the fact that my favorite idol has become the advertising face!
