Today's Dish: Salad Galette

2025年3月13日 16:01

Buckwheat galettes were something I made a long, long time ago, but they turned into a mushy mess of mochi, and I cursed, I'm never making galettes again! Then one day, I encountered

Picard's frozen galettes, and I completely changed my tune, thinking, Galettes are so Instagrammable!, and became a galette lover.

Last autumn. While starting activities for the
Soba Promotion Club, I learned about the buckwheat galettes using carbonated water that Eijyo-san had introduced, and it was an eye-opener!
I'm not buying galettes anymore. Because the ones I bake at home are the most delicious!
, and I became a fan of homemade buckwheat galettes!

This is my galette history.

And so,

Shall we bake some buckwheat galettes? Salad galettes!

If possible, let's use **fragrant domestic buckwheat flour**! (This time I used
**Chaya Farm's buckwheat flour** and **Dewa Kaori from Murayama City, Yamagata Prefecture**) With a ratio of

**1 part buckwheat flour to 2 parts carbonated water (75g buckwheat flour + 150cc Wilkinson carbonated water + a tiny pinch of salt)**
you can bake **three 22cm diameter galettes**
. The key is to add a pinch of salt!

🔸 'Arumonde' (Use-what-you-have) Salad Galette

Leftovers from the previous night or pre-made dishes are arranged like a one-plate meal in this 'Arumonde' salad galette. I decide on the ingredients to use while imagining,
What would it taste like if I wrapped this and that in a galette?

My household's absolute staples:
**potato salad**, **Japanese-style omelet**, and **pickled early red onions**. The omelet is seasoned with shio-koji, sweet koji, and plain yogurt. Hijiki peperoncino made with garlic, anchovies, and chili peppers, and

**etuvée of Petit Vert**
It's definitely better with the omelet inside! It's fun to make them with the image of a **bento box**

in mind.

🔸 Wasabi greens, mitsuba, carrot, and sausage salad galette

Wasabi greens are in their prime right now.Wasabi greens.
They aren't always available in the vegetable section, so if you happen to find them, please try making this combination. The sharp, spicy kick of wasabi greens
pairs perfectly with meat or sausages. It really hits the spot.

The recipe calls for Japanese honewort, but I usedred radish sprouts instead. Instead of seasoned salt, I used
**shio-koji**
**and topped it with Tartary buckwheat tea!** This added a wonderful accent. This combination is truly the best. Adding

**Yuzusco**
also makes it exciting.

🔸 Strawberry and White Kidney Bean Yogurt Salad Galette

Actually, this is a recipe meant for using small strawberries intended for jam or strawberries that aren't quite perfect, but it's aslightly unconventional salad galette made with affordable strawberries.

For the white kidney beans, I used store-boughtsweetened white runner beans after rinsing the surface with water. For the topping, I sprinkled on some
**Hokkaido-grown Tartary buckwheat tea.** The herbs are
salad burnet. The buckwheat galette is
12 cm in diameter. It's a dessert salad galette with just the right amount of sweetness!

🔸 Radish, Turnip, and Lettuce Polka Dot Salad Galette

In the blooming spring, apolka dot salad galette is so exciting, isn't it?

Vegan? No, there is a little
**marinated salmon** arranged under the polka dot vegetables. It's also drizzled with
ethnic-style mayo. The topping is
lemon balm & dill.

🔸 Colorful Dice Salad Galette

It's a salad inspired by Cobb salad, but you can use any ingredients you like! The dressing is a
beet pickle brine koji dressing.

**Sweet potato**、**pumpkin**、**califlore**、**snap peas** are each **microwaved**
**bell peppers** are **grilled** in a toaster oven and peeled.
**Turnips** are **sprinkled with a little salt** to soften.
**Cherry tomatoes** are cut in half lengthwise.
**Chicken ham** is seasoned with sugar and salt, then rinsed, patted dry, and marinated with
**rosemary** and **plum wine** for 30 minutes before being microwaved (please see the attached recipe for details).

Spread the **galette** on a plate, spread the
**beet pickle liquid** mixed with **shio-koji**、**sweet koji**、**plain yogurt**、**extra virgin olive oil** **dressing** on the base, then top with
**diced vegetables** and chicken **ham** to finish!

**Every salad galette is as filling as a hamburger.**

**Open your mouth wide and take a big bite!**

To those of you who think buckwheat galettes are only for cafes and bistros—why not buy some buckwheat flour and try baking a galette yourself? It is truly simple. After that, it's as fun as drawing a picture.
