Ingredients
Main Ingredients (2 servings)
- Thinly sliced pork 100g
- Takuan (pickled daikon radish) 50-60g
- Kimchi 100g
- Cooked rice 400g
- Frozen corn 60g
- Frozen spinach 100g
- Bok choy 100g
- Firm tofu 150g
- Carrot 50g
Seasonings
- [A] Salt and pepper to taste
- Sesame oil a generous 1 tbsp
- Hondashi (Japanese dashi powder) 1 tsp
- [B] Salt and pepper to taste
- [B] Butter 5g
- Water 500ml
- [C] Hondashi (Japanese dashi powder) 2 tsp
- [C] Soy sauce 1/2 tbsp
Steps
- Wash the bok choy and chop 100g into bite-sized pieces.
- Dice 150g firm tofu into small cubes.
- Slice 50g carrot into ginkgo-leaf shapes (thin half-rounds). [Chef's Tip!] Firm tofu is recommended as it holds its shape well in soup. Cut it into small pieces for children to eat easily.
- Add the chopped 100g bok choy, 150g firm tofu, 50g carrot, and 500ml water to a pot.
- Add 2 tsp Hondashi and 1/2 tbsp soy sauce and simmer.
- Once it boils, the Bok Choy Soup is complete. [Chef's Tip!] It's good to make soups lightly seasoned so that saltiness can be adjusted at the table. Hondashi is a reliable seasoning often used in school lunches.
- Place 60g frozen corn and 100g frozen spinach in a frying pan and heat.
- Stir-fry with salt and pepper to taste, without using oil.
- Add 5g butter and mix everything well. The Spinach and Corn Butter Stir-fry is complete.
- Finely chop 50-60g takuan.
- Finely chop 100g kimchi with scissors.
- Finely chop 100g thinly sliced pork. [Chef's Tip!] It's good to chop takuan and kimchi finely so they blend well with the rice. Using scissors for kimchi is convenient as it prevents staining the cutting board.
- Add a generous 1 tbsp sesame oil to a frying pan and stir-fry 100g thinly sliced pork.
- Lightly sprinkle salt and pepper to taste over the thinly sliced pork.
- Once the meat is cooked through, add the chopped 50-60g takuan and 100g kimchi and stir-fry briefly.
- Add 400g cooked rice and stir-fry, pressing down on the rice as you mix.
- Add 1 tsp Hondashi to adjust the flavor, mix everything well, and the KimuTaku Rice is complete. [Chef's Tip!] Instead of making the rice fluffy, stir-fry it by pressing down to help it break apart easily. Adding Hondashi mellows the spiciness of the kimchi, making it easier for children to eat.
