This is the first of Chef Masahiro Kasahara's highly recommended recipes, personally endorsed by Yabe-san, with whom he has worked for many years. This is a light, Japanese-style cream stew made with milk. The gentle flavor, infused with the umami of white cabbage, scallops, and shiitake mushrooms, is enhanced by the tororo konbu. It's a comforting dish that warms the body.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients (3-4 servings)

  • White Cabbage 1/4 head
  • Boiled Scallops 15 pcs
  • Shiitake Mushrooms 4 pcs
  • Milk 300cc
  • Tororo Konbu (Shredded Dried Kelp) 10g
  • Chopped Green Onions (for garnish) (to taste)
  • Butter 20g
  • Potato Starch Slurry (2 tbsp potato starch mixed with 2 tbsp water)

Seasonings

  • [A] Dashi Stock 300cc
  • [A] Light Soy Sauce 2 tbsp
  • [A] Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine) 2 tbsp
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Black Pepper (to taste)

Steps

  1. Remove the tough core from the white cabbage and separate the leaves from the white stem parts.
  2. Roughly chop the white cabbage leaves.
  3. Thinly slice the white stem parts of the white cabbage diagonally.
  4. Cut off about 1cm of the tough base from the shiitake mushrooms.
  5. Thinly slice the shiitake mushroom caps and shred the stems by hand.
  6. Thoroughly pat dry the boiled scallops with paper towels.
  7. Line the bottom of a frying pan with the white cabbage stems.
  8. Next, scatter the shiitake mushrooms over the stems, and then add the white cabbage leaves on top.
  9. Place the boiled scallops on top.
  10. Add [A] (Dashi Stock 300cc, Light Soy Sauce 2 tbsp, Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine) 2 tbsp) which have been combined.
  11. Cover with a lid, bring to a boil, then reduce to low heat and steam for 5-6 minutes.
  12. While keeping on low heat, add Milk 300cc. [Key Tip!] Be careful not to let the milk boil vigorously after adding it.
  13. Add Tororo Konbu (Shredded Dried Kelp) 10g, breaking it up as you add it. [Key Tip!] If you add all the tororo konbu at once, it will clump together, so add it little by little while breaking it up.
  14. Stir gently to combine everything.
  15. Add Butter 20g and stir until melted.
  16. Season with Salt (to taste).
  17. Thicken the stew with Potato Starch Slurry (2 tbsp).
  18. After thickening, bring it to a gentle simmer for a moment to cook the potato starch. [Key Tip!] If you don't cook it briefly after thickening, it will become watery again over time.
  19. Transfer to serving bowls.
  20. Sprinkle with Chopped Green Onions (to taste).
  21. Lightly sprinkle with Black Pepper (to taste).
