Sesame Sauce is a very convenient seasoning for vegetables. It is quick and easy to make. Then just mix with your favorite steamed or boiled veggies. It is also very healthy because there is no added fat or oil in it. When you eat salads, a lot of the time, the dressing is the problem for healthy eating.
Broccoli is one of the super vegetables, and you would like to eat a lot, but maybe not plain. Instead of cheese or butter, use this Sesame Sauce, and it doesn’t add very much calories.

Great recipes, I had a question. How do you take care of your suribachi? I’ve had doubts whether I should buy one, as they seem kinda fragile (being ceramic).
Excelent site!

I don’t put it in dishwasher, but other than that, it is easy to take care of. Wash with soap and a bottle brush to get rid of food.

June 3, 2014 at 3:55 pmThank you Noriko-san.
I have another couple of questions, while studying in Japan as a kenshyuusei, my kaisha co-workers took to a restaurant where we had miso-nabe with a kind of tightly-rolled gohan, ho you know what are those called, and with the same friends we went to a seafood restaurant where we had some sashimi, the thing is it came with a little sprig of little flower buds (I think) and you took them from the spring and it gave the shouyu a nice lemon-like tangy taste, I have been trying to find what those were, and how are they called, but to no avail, do you, by any chance know what those are?
Thank you again, and excelent recipes!

I have no idea…the tightly rolled rice may be Kiritanpo, but I’m just guessing.
