Seasonal green onions make a delicious side dish: Recipe included for "Toaster-Baked Green Onions and Ham in Sauce"
To those meeting me for the first time, and to those who are regulars.
Welcome to Yoichi Honda's note.
I create recipes for books, TV, newspapers, magazines, free papers, the web, dramas, and commercials.
I also work as a cooking instructor.
On note, I introduce recipes that I make for my own family.
With just a little bit of effort, things become a little new and tastier than you imagined.
Since note allows for many photos, I include process photos to increase the reproducibility.
Now that it's winter, green onions have become much sweeter.
It's a great season. I'll draw out that sweetness slowly while keeping the seasoning to a minimum.
The charred parts are delicious, and the saltiness of the ham makes you want more.
Toaster-Baked Green Onions and Ham in Sauce
<Ingredients> (Easy-to-make quantity)
Green onions: 2 stalks (200g)
Ham: 4 slices (50g)
Salad oil: 1/2 tablespoon (rice oil is fine if you have it)
A (Ponzu soy sauce, water: 1 tablespoon each; sugar: 1/2 teaspoon)
I use Ajipon, but feel free to use your favorite brand.
<Instructions> (Cooking time: 20 minutes)
1. Cut the green onions into 5cm lengths.
2. Tear off a large piece of parchment paper and place it in a heat-resistant tray (a plate is also fine).
Wet the parchment paper with water and fit it to the tray.
3. Arrange the green onions. Tear the ham and place it between the green onions.
Drizzle salad oil over everything and bake in an oven toaster for about 15 minutes.
Once the green onions are cooked, mix A and pour it over them.
Tip: Storage period: Place in a storage container and keep in the refrigerator for 4-5 days.
The aroma of the baked ham and green onions is the key to the flavor.
It's best if the ham gets a little crispy.
It's delicious freshly baked or just after soaking. After 1 or 2 days, the flavors will blend throughout.
The toaster should be around 1000W; if using a grill, it can be baked on low heat for 7-8 minutes.
That's all for the recipe.
Thank you for your hard work on Monday as well.
While aiming to make childcare and housework as light as possible,
I also try to maintain a certain level of health.
While children are small, it takes a fair amount of time and effort,
but I try to find ways to manage within that,
and make time for the children (playing Pokémon GO for an hour almost every day).
I think this is something that can be done because I'm a freelancer,
so let's do what we can within our limits.
Quit or keep going before you get completely exhausted.
Even if things get so bad you might collapse, I want to maintain a balance
where I can accept that as experience.
I mainly create recipes that align with that.
Sometimes cooking itself is fun,
but when housework, childcare, responsibility, and duty get mixed in, it's not always good.
Let's keep things a bit loose and head toward Tuesday.
Well then, this was Yoichi Honda.
See you tomorrow.
