Bento Anyone?

October 29, 2016 by KozmoKitchen 4 Comments

Finally! I will start my bento delivery services next week (probably on Wednesday). It’s sort of a trial project at this point, and there will be some adjustment and improvement as I go. Stay tuned for more details! Or contact kozmokitchen.gmail.com for more info.

The bento for next week (the date is TBD) is Karaage Bento. The delivery locations will be a few buildings on the Microsoft campus. If that goes well, I might be able to expand delivery areas to Seattle such as downtown, Fremont, etc, but I’ll need to use some help to arrange the delivery locations.

Anyhow, here is the current menu:
Karaage (Japanese fried chicken)
Potato salad
Tamago yaki (rolled omelet)
Ingen Gomaae (green beans with sesame dressing)
Nasu Agebitashi (fried eggplant in dashi broth)
Kyuri Karahizuke (cucumber quick pickled in mustard brine)
Ginger rice (rice cooked with fresh ginger)
Note: Contains meat (chicken), eggs, no dairy. Contains wheat in soy sauce.

Matsutake Season is Here!

October 24, 2016 by KozmoKitchen Leave a Comment

matsutakegohanIt’s fall. Everything tastes better. But if you live in the Northwest, Matsutake is the king of the fall flavors. Its aroma is just mesmerizing and makes you so happy and grateful. I am not a mushroom hunter but luckily have some wonderful (and generous) friends that delivered hand-picked local matsutake to my house!! If you don’t have such friends, you can check out any Asian grocery stores nearby. I am pretty sure they have matsutake available now but hurry! The mushrooms will not last long.

Here is one of the matsutake recipes you can try and enjoy within an hour.

  • 2 cups Katsuo dashi 1 cup = 200ml
  • 2 tablespoons sake
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce usukuchi (light-colored) if possible
  • 1 teaspoon salt you can add/reduce to your taste
Instructions
  1. Clean matsutake with damp paper towel if you see any dirt. You can shave off the very bottom of the mushroom if it's too dirty.
  2. Slice matsutake mushroom stems, and tear the stump by hand into small pieces.
  3. Rinse and polish rice and strain it through a collandar. Put it aside (for about 30 minutes)
  4. In a Dutch oven or any deep pot you have, put in the rice and add dashi, soysauce, sake and salt. Add in sliced matsutake. If you have an electric rice cooker. Note: If you have an electric rice cooker just cook the matsutake rice with all the ingredients as you normally cook rice.
  5. Place the pot, turn on the heat over High and wait for the liquid to start boiling. A lid is not required.
  6. Turn the heat down to simmer, put the lid on if you haven't done it yet, then cook for 12 minutes. Turn off the heat then but do not remove the lid yet.
  7. Wait for 15 minutes. Open the lid and fluff the matsutake rice! Don't pass out with the incredible aroma!
