For me, it's not soy sauce on egg-over-rice. | Recipes using Shijimi no Megumi
Good evening.
I'm Mayumi, and I run a souvenir shop right in front of the Twenty-Four Eyes Movie Village.😊
In yesterday's note, I wrote about the question I get asked most at the shop:
“What is this?”
In that post, I mentioned,
“I actually use it more as a cooking seasoning than for clam soup,” but...
Today, I'd like to introduce the way of eating it that surprises people the most.
⸻
It is...
Egg-over-rice.And what's more,
in our house, we don't use soy sauce.
Of course, egg-over-rice with soy sauce is delicious too.😊
But for me,
once I put the egg on the rice,
instead of soy sauce,
I add about a teaspoon of the 10x concentrated “Shijimi no Megumi”.
That's it.
It really is just that.
If you're trying it for the first time,
you might think,
“Huh? Clams?” (laughs)
But,
it doesn't make it taste strongly of clams,
it keeps the creaminess of the egg,
and just adds a bit more umami.
That's why I
often eat it for breakfast.😊
⸻
On busy mornings,
you don't have much time to cook, right?
On days like that,
I just crack an egg over freshly cooked rice,
and drizzle some “Shijimi no Megumi” over it.
It's a breakfast that takes less than 5 minutes.
At the shop, too,
people sometimes ask,
“Other than clam soup, what do you recommend?”
At times like that,
I sometimes say,
“First, please try it on egg-over-rice once.😊”
It uses few ingredients, and
it's the easiest thing to try.
Actually,
“Shijimi no Megumi” is
a seasoning that often appears in our house
when I think, “Something is missing in the flavor.”
For stir-fried chives and eggs, too.
For fried rice, too.
For seasoned rice, too.
And for egg-over-rice, too.
Before I know it, I'm reaching for it (laughs).
By the way, I'm introducing recipes little by little in this note as well.😊
・Enough for a tired day. Comforting egg rice porridge made with “Shijimi no Megumi”
・My family's chive and egg recipe that helps on days when I think, “What should I make...”
・“What is this?” The story of “Shijimi no Megumi” that I get asked about the most
At the shop, there are truly so many conversations
that start with, “What is this?”
But the moment that product ends up on their dining table,
and they come back to the shop to tell me, “It was delicious😊,”
is what makes me the happiest.
If one product can be the catalyst,
and the time spent eating together as a family while laughing and saying “This is delicious” increases,
that alone is enough.
Thinking about things like that, I am standing in the shop again today.
If you have “Shijimi no Megumi” at home,
please try it once instead of soy sauce.😊
“I didn't know you could eat it like this!”
I think you'll be a little surprised.
If you think,
“I'd like to try Shijimi no Megumi.😊”
we can deliver it from our online shop to those who live far away, as well as at the store.
