CHOI TASHI COOKING

Have you ever heard the word "CHOI TASHI"?

Unexpected seasoning and ingredient are added a little bit to a standard dish.
This is called "CHOI TASHI".

TV show "Onegai Ranking" has the unique segment called "CHOI TASHI COOKING".
Adding about 30 kinds of seasonings and ingredients to a dish, they place it in order of deliciousness.

I actually tried some of them which were challenged in "CHOI TASHI COOKING".
In my experience, I recommend is the following.

< Miso Soup X Mitarashi Dango >
*Miso Soup*
I'm sure you know what miso soup is.
There's no need to explain, right?

*Mitarashi Dango*
It's the toasted rice dumplings covered with sweet soy sauce.

I put Mitarashi Dango into Miso Soup.....

Do you think it's weird?
However,
it's TASTY for no reason.
Rice dumplings get softer, which is good texture.
By sweet soy sauce, the sweetness was slightly added to the soup.

I have one more to recommend.
< Ten Don X Maple Syrup >
*Ten Don*
It's a bowl of rice topped with deep fried fish and vegetables.

*Maple Syrup*
As you know,
it's the syrup which is put on pancake and waffle.

I put some Maple Syrup on Ten Don......

You don't see any difference, do you?
But,
the taste itself changed into a good one.
Slightly sweet rice is delicious, and it is totally right to add the sweetness to Tempura sauce !!

Trust me. Please try "CHOI TASHI COOKING".
You can discover a new taste !!
