Whale Food Art
クジラのフードアート
Made this for Sunday's lunch! Something fun on the plate~~ more people have started to asked me to make food art. 

While I am a bento blogger, food art is very close to my heart since it allows me to create kawaii food too, so instead of packing into a box, the food is plated. :) So I hope you will like it. 

The side dishes for my lunch were:
-Japanese vegetables and chicken curry
-Stir fry spicy caulifower and sweet peas
-Pork soboro
-Furofuki daikon (photo and recipe below)
*soboro means crumbled meat in Japanese, a popular and super easy dish
*furofuki daikon is a japanese nimono dish of simmered daikon.

昨日クジラのフードアートを作りました。最近、みながフードアートをリクエストしました。

Delicious Healthy Dish
Simmered Daikon
Simmered Daikon Recipe (Furofuki Daikon)
Daikon (10 slices, about 1~1.5cm thick)
Carrot slices (8~10slices)
Shiitake mushroom (5~6 pcs, pre-soaked)
Dashi stock (1 litre)
Soy sauce (2 tbsp)
Mirin (1 tbsp)
Sake (1 tbsp)
Sugar (1 tbsp)

Preparing Japanese dashi stock
  1. Pre-soak 10cm of kombu seaweed in water for about 20mins. Boil 1 litre of water at low heat with the kombu seaweed for 10 minutes. 
  2. Remove kombu seaweed after 10 minutes. 
  3. Add katsuobushi flakes (bonito flakes) and boil for about 30 seconds, drain and remove.
Cooking Furofuki Daikon
  1. Heat the dashi stock in a pan, add mushrooms and daikon.
  2. Add the seasoning (soy sauce, sake, mirin, sugar)
  3. Boil and simmer at low heat, turning and rotating daikon occasinally until daikon is completely tender and colored all the way through, about 45 minutes.
  4. Add carrot slices and simmer for another 15minutes.
  5. Before serving, add some sweet peas and boil for under 1 minute.
  6. Serve.
TIP!  Use an otoshi buta. This is a drop lid that enables even heat distribution while cookin/simmering. In replacement, you can fold aluminium sheet into a right size and place the aluminium foil on the top of the contents while simmering.
