🍽️ Today's Recommendation
🥇 Sweet and Spicy Stir-fried Pork Belly with Cabbage and Bean Sprouts
Reason for recommendation:
It's easy to make even after coming home, and you can bulk up the 200g of pork belly with cabbage and bean sprouts. It provides volume as a main dish for 3 people, and no additional shopping is required.
Ingredients to use
200g pork belly
Cabbage
Bean sprouts
Green onion
Salad oil
Soy sauce
Mirin
Sake
Sugar
Instructions
Cut the pork belly, cabbage, and green onion into bite-sized pieces.
Stir-fry the pork belly in a frying pan.
Add the cabbage, bean sprouts, and green onion.
Season with soy sauce, mirin, sake, and sugar for a sweet and savory flavor.
Serve with rice and it's ready.
Cooking time: about 15 minutes
If you want to make a side dish, try cucumber with sesame vinegar dressing.
Finish it off refreshingly with cucumber, vinegar, sugar, soy sauce, and sesame seeds.
For soup, try tofu, deep-fried tofu, and dried seaweed soup with mentsuyu.
Since there is no miso, we will use mentsuyu instead of making miso soup.
With this, we have:
🍚 Rice with barley
🥩 Stir-fried pork belly and vegetables
🥒 Cucumber with sesame vinegar dressing
🥣 Tofu, deep-fried tofu, and seaweed soup
Dinner for 3 people can be made without any extra shopping.
⭐ Other dishes you can make
① Pork belly, Chinese cabbage, and glass noodle stew
Simmer pork belly, Chinese cabbage, green onions, enoki mushrooms, and glass noodles in a mentsuyu-based broth. It can be made in one pot and is packed with vegetables.
② Simmered thick fried tofu, daikon radish, and konjac
Simmer thick fried tofu, daikon radish, and konjac in soy sauce, mirin, sake, and sugar. This is a dish that works well as leftovers for the next day.
③ Sweet and spicy stir-fried chikuwa and burdock root
Stir-fry burdock root and chikuwa in sesame oil... wait, we don't have that, so use vegetable oil, then finish with soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and sesame seeds.
④ Stir-fried bacon and potatoes
Stir-fry bacon and potatoes with salt and pepper. This is a side dish that is easy for children to eat.
⑤ Japanese-style simmered tofu and hijiki seaweed
Simmer tofu, hijiki, and deep-fried tofu in soy sauce, mirin, and sugar for a meat-free dish.
🛒 If you want to buy a little extra
In this case, there is no need to force yourself to go shopping today.
If you want to buy a little extra, eggs.
Just by adding eggs,
Pork belly egg drop
Chikuwa egg drop
Thick fried tofu egg drop
Bacon and eggs
Stir-fried vegetables + egg
Natto and egg over rice
Glass noodle soup with egg
and many other combinations with your current inventory will become possible.
💡 A quick tip
For this family, it is better not to try to use up all the ingredients in just tonight's dinner.
For example, use the pork belly tonight,
Tonight → Stir-fried pork belly and vegetables
Next morning → Natto rice + Tofu and seaweed soup
Next day's dinner → Simmered thick fried tofu, daikon radish, and konjac + Stir-fried bacon and potatoes
By connecting them like this, you can rotate your inventory while reducing the number of shopping trips.
Little brother: "I hate cucumbers."
Mother: "You shouldn't be a picky eater."
Older sister: "I like this sesame vinegar salad."
Mother: "It was raining so hard today that I couldn't stop by the store,
but I was able to make dinner using only the leftover ingredients,
so I saved some money.
I'll make pork steak for you tomorrow."
Little brother: "Yay!"
Older sister: "You should eat your cucumber too."
🍳 One for every household.
