The temperature drops sharply from the 5th, and it is easy to get sick at times like this.

So, in order to improve my physical condition, I went to a restaurant specializing in ginger, which is a typical ingredient that warms the body from the inside, and learned how to use it well.

This ginger restaurant in Musashino, Tokyo offers 16 ginger dishes, from hot pots to desserts.



Reservations increased due to the cold from the 5th, and Friday the 7th is almost full.



The store uses about 10 kilograms of ginger per week, and Yoshinobu Uchida, the head chef, says, ``Ginger all contained in ginger has the effect of warming the internal organs when heated. , is the perfect food for the colder months."



According to Mr. Uchida, even ginger in a commercially available tube can be effective to some extent by using a large amount.



So I was taught how to cook at home using ginger.

First of all, it is ginger grilled "Pork Ginger".



On top of the grilled pork, you can enjoy the change in taste by pouring plenty of two kinds of sauces, a soy sauce-based ginger sauce and an apple ginger sauce mixed with apples, onions, and garlic.



It is better to grate it by hand, but you can chop it finely and put it in a mixer.



In addition, when cooking rice, about 6 pieces of sliced ​​ginger are added to the rice to add the flavor of rice, and you can enjoy the flavor of ginger.

In addition, since it's hot pot season, adding shredded ginger and eating it with pork and vegetables is recommended as it warms the body even more.



Mr. Uchida said, "Ginger goes well with any dish. I want you to use ginger to warm your body from the inside and get through this winter."

For people who don't like ginger, there is also this way of eating

We asked Mr. Yoshinobu Uchida, the head chef of a ginger specialty restaurant, how to eat it for people who don't like ginger.



One is “okaka ginger”.



Once the bonito flakes, soy sauce, sake, mirin, and sugar are heated, the ginger is soaked in cold water to remove its unique bitterness before being chopped.



Sprinkle roasted sesame seeds at the end to finish, and it is recommended as an ingredient for rice balls.



You can adjust the taste to your taste by changing the amount of ginger and sugar.

Also, "ginger glacé" that can be used as a snack.



Boil the sliced ​​ginger to remove the spiciness, then boil it down with sugar and water.



Once cooled, it is ready and can be stored for a long time.
