This is such an amazing video! You deserve so many more subs and likes!! I am very grateful to you for making a vegetarian version. I am vegetarian but my boyfriend is Japanese, so I was worried about how I could enjoy the food he eats. This is perfect!! Thank you so much!
Thank you so so much for such an encouraging comment!!🤣 You are welcome and I feel grateful that my video can help you! I appreciate it, if you could share my channel with your friends, who might be interested in Japanese food/cooking!!😁
Hi My question,u use too much sugar in everything. Have u ever tried ,instead of s+sauce,to use plain water and some salt?also,for your poor gievers,would u be willing to send some Japanese food box to Europe?
@@pritispuki Your first "question" isn't a question, pal. And second, why would he? Japanese people are among, if not the healthiest in the world, despite being a first world country so there is obviously nothing wrong with the amount of sugar and soy sauce they eat. And water mixed with salt sounds tasteless and just plain nasty lol If you want to eat like that, go ahead but most people do want to enjoy their food. 😂
ok, i just wanted to clap my hands together of joy. i found a japanese chef, who now shows me some vegan stuff. i just had rice for dinner, which i loved, but your channel will change my rice game! subbed!
What a beautifully presented dish. My grandparents emigrated from Japan to the US, and we grew up eating sushi for special occasions, but we never had Temari sushi. Looks easier to make and so attractive. Thanks for sharing!
wow i. just saw your RU-vid Channel glad to see your here the way you cook is Awesome and easy ..im sure i will be do this for my friends,..Thank you ...From Japan
You are cooking like a pro. It is obvious that you have lots of cooking skills. What I would like to know is whether the meal can also be prepared plastic-free. What about silicone utensils? Have you ever tried it or is that not possible with these dishes? What do you actually think of cooking sustainably and less plastic as possible?
thank you! but I actually never had any professional training what so ever, only passionate about food (or actually eating, lol) of course!! this style of Sushi was invented around 300 years ago, and of course they didn't have Saran Wrap back then. like you said you can use other form of sheets, like baking sheets or silicone sheets, or originally was done by making a small rice ball first with bare hands and then putting the ingredients over it and squeezing lightly again. as for the sustainability, I am aware and try to do as much as I can, especially in my personal life, but 1) I don't want to be too picky about it and 2) in my videos, my goal is to try to make Japanese food EASILY accessible to other people around the world. so I thank you for your insight and I will keep that aspect in my mind, when I make the videos.
beeswax coated cloth may be used as an alternative to plastic. Your won’t be able to see through but it will do the same job without plastic…that’s what I’ll try 🤓
Almost too beautiful to eat … but you managed all of it including the garnish! 😂. Absolutely exquisite presentation. Thank you so much. Very inspiring, brother ❤❤❤
Taiji, love your cooking videos and try to imitate some easy ones. I love salmon teriyaki and unadon. I saw your New Years practice in your country. I love mochi but the one filled with green tea or red bean. The machine you used to make them is fancy, no more kneading. Look forward to your dishes!
Taji, that was very impressive! Your knife skills are so good that I'd never be able to do anything presented this well. And thank you for this vegetarian/vegan version! I don't eat a lot of meat of any kind, so this was excellent!
I have been cooking for more than 60 years. When I was young, I would have said the same thing as you, but what you can accomplish with some time and interest is surprising. You don't have to be dedicated to it, just work on it little by little. Baby steps can have gratifying results. Practice on vegetables one day, rice another day. Keep practicing. You can easily eat your failures which, by the way, are the key to success. It is amazing how many successful people say they have failed their way to the top. Have faith that you can do wonderful things. You have to start somewhere; nobody is accomplished at first. Start where you are. I am 80 now and still learning wonderful things.
Hi Taiji I just found your channel and subbed…my 3 year old loves watching your videos with me…prepping him for our next snowboarding holiday in Hokkaido once Japan opens up again 🤗 Question: do these need to be eaten right away? Would they keep well in a (chilled) bento box for a few hours? Would love to make these as a special picnic. Thanks for the awesome videos!
Unfortunately, I am allergic/sensitive to a lot of foods, but Japanese food is one cuisine that I can eat without issue. These all look delicious!! 很很好吃!!
Love your channel. Thanks for sharing your cooking expertise. As far as I know, you live in Germany, right? Any good website to buy Japanese ingredients? I usually go to my local Asian market. The lady there is amazing, but she's having trouble with supplies right now.
A BIG WHAZZZOOO! Looks to good to eat But hey it is healthy food and I can do it ahead of time and then refrigerate until my time to eat. Way to go with veggies 😋
well, actually refrigerating rice is not a good idea, since the starch in the rice will harden under 4 degrees Celsius. so better to make the ingredients (topping) beforehand and then refrigerate those and make the rice on the day you want to eat.
wow, grilled paprika sushi, I must try. And the dandalion! Here that golden fermented radish is not available, I tried to make Danmuji using kurkuma. But that was diced into small cubes. Now I will make that yellow brine again for radish using your hedgehog cut.
Danmuji is a korean version of Takuan. to make it properly you need to salt it and let it dry for a while. and then make a brine sauce using rice bran. here is a video about how to make it yourself. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6WQ1_svH-Jk.html
Ooowaaaaa! I’m not a big fan of sushi, I don’t like the texture of the raw fish. However the rest of those dishes looked amazing and I’m definitely going to try them 🤤
Hi, to answer your question, I would say no. the starch in rice will harden when this becomes under 5 degrees celsius. so I would suggest cooking the rice right before serving/making the sushi. if you really dont have time, then the alternative, you can microwave the cold refredgerated rice.
As always, very good and interesting video !! But as a little tip, I would personally write how to cook and not how to make in the title. But very good video quality keep it up!
thanx so much for the tip! I just changed them. does it apply for like Mochi or Maki-sushi? I mean, do you say "cook Mochi" or "cook Sushi"? or in this case "make Mochi" or "make Sushi"?
@@taijiskitchen So i would say "How to Cook" in general. Do you know what i mean? so i mean when people are looking for videos to cook with they are mostly looking for how to cook.:) But your Videos are amazing!!
yes, I understood what you meant. but my question was, if I should also say "cook Mochi" or "cook Sushi" instead of "make Mochi" or "make Sushi". somehow it sounds for me a bit strange to say cook sushi. but of course I'm not 100% native in English and I can't get that fine nuance. so I thank you for your help!
@@taijiskitchenAha now i know what you mean! Yeah Sushi fish is mostly eaten raw, right? in that case, that's a good question. But on the other hand, rice is also cooked, isn't it? I would just write it as it sounds right to you :)
@@rogue_nomad thank you. I have no idea why its name changed (I need some research) sometimes it happens when non-Japanese names come in, like "Piiman/ピーマン" for green peppers. Maybe some words are confused with or taken from something, like people who brings in or situations. (It is Interesting that Japanese "Teppan-yaki/鉄板焼" is often called in USA "Hibachi," which means a brazier in Japanese.)
