Steps

  1. Cut off the core of the Napa cabbage and slice it into easy-to-eat pieces.
  2. Slice the long green onion diagonally and thinly. If there's dirt, wash it thoroughly.
  3. For the Saba Can Hotpot, grate 1 clove of garlic.
  4. Add 400g of canned mackerel, including the liquid, to a pot. If the pieces are large, break them in half.
  5. Add 1/8 head of Napa cabbage, 1 long green onion, 1/2 block of firm tofu, and the grated garlic to the pot, then add 500cc of water, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp sake, 1 tbsp Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine), and 4 shakes of Aji-no-moto.
  6. Cover and simmer over medium heat for about 15 minutes.
  7. After simmering, drizzle with sesame oil to taste and sprinkle with black pepper to taste, if desired.
  8. For the Endless Carrots, julienne 150g of carrot.
  9. Place the julienned carrot in a heatproof dish, cover with plastic wrap, and heat in a 600W microwave for 2 minutes and 20 seconds.
  10. Drain the oil thoroughly from 1 can of tuna.
  11. In a bowl, add the heated carrot, drained canned tuna, 1/3 tsp salt, 6 shakes of Aji-no-moto, black pepper to taste, 1/4 tsp curry powder, 1 tbsp sesame oil, and 1 pinch of sugar.
  12. Mix everything well until the flavors are evenly distributed. Pro Tip! The combination of salt, sesame oil, and Aji-no-moto is undeniably delicious.
  13. For the Dashi Peperoncino, mince 10g of garlic.
  14. Chop 1 red chili pepper. If you don't like spicy food, remove the seeds.
  15. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a frying pan and sauté the minced garlic over low heat, being careful not to burn it.
  16. Once the garlic is lightly browned and fragrant, add the chopped red chili pepper and sauté briefly.
  17. Add 340cc of water, 1 dashi pack, 4 shakes of Aji-no-moto, and 1/3 tsp salt, then bring to a boil.
  18. Once boiling, add 100g of 1.4mm pasta and simmer with the dashi pack over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Pro Tip! To maximize the dashi flavor, cook the pasta in one pan without pre-boiling.
  19. While simmering, remove the dashi pack with chopsticks or similar, and squeeze it thoroughly to extract all the umami.
  20. When the liquid has reduced and thickened, add 1/2 tbsp olive oil and mix well to coat everything. The target amount of liquid is about 2-3 tbsp.
  21. Serve on a plate and sprinkle with dried parsley to taste, if desired. Done!
