Since I finished working earlier than usual, I come home at 4:30pm.
Since it was a very cold day yesterday, I wanted to eat something warm.
I made Tonjiru for dinner.
Tonjiru is miso soup with pork and vegetables.
As a child, my mother used to make it on such a cold day like today.
"I am going to use this daikon which you harvested yesterday for dinner. But... this radish smells a little hot. I wonder if it's OK. Well, maybe it doesn't matter."
My husband and our 5-year-old daughter harvested it from our garden last Saturday.
I cut pork, daikon, carrot, green onions, burdock and shimeji mashrooms.
Then I stir-fried them and boiled them in soup stock for a while, then I put miso and dissolved it in the soup.
After I finished making Tonjiru, I had a taste.
"Why?? It isn't tasty. Oh, I've got it! Maybe it is because of Daikon. Hey, have a taste this!"
My husband tried to taste it.
"This daikon have a strong alkaline taste. You should have pre-boiled it in advance."
"But, I didn't think that it was such an unpleasant taste!"
I was really disappointed.
I asked:
"Is it edible for you? I don't want to eat it."
"It is edible for me. Wait, I will add this."
He suddenly started grating ginger and put it in the Tonjiru.
"Have a taste!"
I tasted it.
"Oh! It is nice! Wow, you are great!"
He rescued my failed dish brilliantly!
"Thank you! I am counting on you!"
Thnaks to him, we enjoyed having dinner.

DeleteHello Kumi-san,
ReplyDeleteThat food looks very nice. I am unfortunately not as good a cook as I should be. I do like spicy radish very much.
Here is a list of the small issues I found while reading the post:

Hello Terry.
DeleteI finally made a mistake of Japanese vovabulary(the spelling of Tonjiru)!
I am really embarressed.
You are always my great helper.
I really appreciate you!
