Horenso no Ohitashi

This is a boiled spinach seasoned with soy sauce.
We usually boile spinach in hot water.
Put it cold water to cool it.
Squeeze it to drain off the water.
Mix it with soy sauce and dashi-stock.
And serve it topped on shreded dried bonito.

By the way, I remenber I learned how to cook it in elementary school.

Boiled Edamame

We usually boil Edamame (green soy beans) in a salted water, and drain water off it.
And cool it with air. ( If we cool it in water, it will loose rich taste.)
And push beans out of pods with finger to mouth.

Nowaday's, we can buy frozen Edamame all season.
But I like to Eat it with beer in summer.

Phto above is frozen Edamame ( alredy boiled) in supermarket.

Photo above is Edamame fresh from farm.
