💡 Fun Fact💡
What Are Aromatic Herbs?
In Japanese cuisine, kōmi yasai (aromatic vegetables/herbs) are vegetables known for their distinctive fragrance, flavor, or mild pungency.
They are often used to enhance dishes and reduce unwanted odors from ingredients.
Not only do they stimulate the appetite, but they are also believed to help support digestion and recovery from fatigue.

🥗 Shabu-Shabu Salad with Aromatic Herbs 🥗
Ingredients

Pork belly slices
Frozen eggplant
Frozen okra
Aromatic herbs:
Shiso leaves
Myoga (Japanese ginger)
Green onions

Ponzu sauce
Doubanjiang (chili bean paste)
Tianmianjiang (sweet bean paste)
Gochujang
Chili oil (tube type is fine)
Cane sugar
Chili peppers
Sesame seeds
Sesame oil
Finishing Touches
Bonito flakes
Pickled plum (umeboshi)
Instructions
① Make the aromatic herb sauce
💡 Since all of the ingredients will be mixed together later, it's best to use a large mixing bowl.


② Add the boiled pork belly
🌟 If using thinly sliced pork scraps instead of pork belly, mix in a small amount of sugar before boiling. This helps keep the meat tender.


③ Microwave the frozen eggplant and okra, then add them to the bowl


④ Mix in the bonito flakes and umeboshi

⑤ Prepare the vegetables for the base
(Lettuce, Cucumber, and Tomato)

🍛 Summer Vegetable Curry 🍛
🍆Eggplant, 🥒zucchini, 🍅tomatoes, 🫑green peppers, bell peppers, and 🎃pumpkin are all excellent choices for summer curry. ✨
They pair especially well with oil, which helps bring out their flavor and richness.
💡 Tip: To maintain their vibrant colors and satisfying texture, try deep-frying or roasting the vegetables and using them as toppings, or quickly sauté them before adding them to the curry. This helps prevent them from becoming too soft during cooking.
