Sauteed Chinese yam with butter and soup stock flavored soy sauce

 

Yuri Yamamoto is now the most popular cooking blogger in Japan. The dish of Chinese yam is very easy: saute it with its peel, put butter and sprinkle soup stock flavored soy sauce. It is so good. In the first place, I didn’t have the idea of sauteing Chinese yam. It is a kind of taste like you eat in izakaya. Yuri highly recommends soup stock flavored soy sauce, so I bought two flavors. Only by sprinkling with the soy sauce, boiled or grilled vegetables become a delicious dish.

Yuri has posted many recipes that you can cook with a microwave, which you have fewer dishes that you have to wash. I have heard that a husband who read Yuri’s recipe book and he got motivated to cook for the first time because those recipes looked so easy.

 

By the way, Yuri is from Osaka but her husband is from Ono City, Fukui Prefecture. They return to Ono City once in a while. And she wrote in her blog about foods in Ono City.

 

On Twitter, she answers questions frequently about her recipes. For example, against a chocolate cheesecake recipe, “Is it okay without chocolate?” “It’s okay. I recommend adding a little lemon juice.” She has a big heart, so it must be one of the secrets of her popularity. (H.S)
