Unagi modoki

I taught Shojin Ryori in the morning. We cooked Unagimodoki. It is an imitation eel made of Tofu. We were very much surprised to see and taste it. Because it looked like a real eel and the taste was very good. My student ate it while saying "Delicious! Delicious!"

I will write about today's student.
Six years have passed since she started to learn Shojin Ryori at Akasaka Teran, my cooking school.The reason why she started Shojin Ryori is that she wants her family to live a healthy life. She took care of her father in law who had gotten seriously sick because of his unhealthy food life. From the experience she started to serve good food to her husband. She does not buy supermarket food. She buys organic meat and vegetables directly from the producer and buys fish at fish market near her house. She is a good cook.

I am glad to see her living healthy life with Shojin Ryori.

Naga-imo Steak

Let’s make Naga-imo Steak (Chinese Yam)

Many of the people in western countries say “I do not like Naga-imo because it is sticky.” But in the stickiness there is a lot of nutrition.
Today I will introduce Naga-imo steak. Please enjoy the crunchy texture of Naga-imo.


Nagaimo 200g
Shimeji mushroom 50g
Daikon (white radish) 50g
Ginger 10g
Salad oil a proper amount for grilling Naga-imo
Sauce Light-colored soy sauce 1 table spoon
Kelp broth 2 table spoons
Sake 1/2 table spoon
Mirin (sweet sake for seasoning) 1/2 table spoon


1. Wash Naga-imo well without peeling the skin and cut into 5mm slices.
Cut off the bud end of Shimeji and separate the stems.
2. Grind Daikon and ginger and add them to the sauce.
3. Put the oil into the pan and grill Naga-imo with strong flame until they are brown.
4. Pour the sauce onto Naga-imo and put it on a plate.
5. Stir Shimeji mushroom well in the sauce left in the pan and put it with the sauce on the cooked Naga-imo.

Tha k you very much!

In Japan we say “Itadakimasu” before we eat.
It means, “Thank you for everything which includes the food, preparation and everything that was used to make the food.”

After we finish we say “Gothisosama.”
It means, “We made this meal together so thank for this nice time together.”

Thank you very much,

Enjoy!
