A piece of string? Sticks? Why are they tied together? You\u2019ve seen these before and probably used them at home or in a restaurant, but yours were probably much shorter. In Japan, these are used for cooking when you don\u2019t want to get too close to the hot stove or hot oil, like when deep frying. It takes a bit of skill to handle these, so if you\u2019re not that confident, I would recommend tongs instead\u2014no embarrassment in that. So why are they tied together? Just to keep from losing one, I think. But it\u2019s also handy for hanging them from a hook.

But how is it used in cooking? Since the Japanese do a lot of deep fry cooking, this paper is used to blot the excess oil that comes off of just-fried <em>tempura<\/em> or <em>ebi fry<\/em> (fried prawn). Americans deep fry a lot too, but we seem less concerned with making our fried chicken look good on the table\u2014we\u2019d probably just lay it on paper towels.

Think about it\u2014what condiment is normally served with <em>sushi?<\/em> The answer is <em>wasabi<\/em>\u2014and if you\u2019re a fan, you haven\u2019t had great <em>wasabi<\/em> until you\u2019ve had the fresh version that doesn\u2019t come in a tube. How about grilled fish? Many people love fish (myself included), but the oiliness can sometimes get to be too much, so you\u2019ll often see it served with a small mound of white <em>daikon<\/em> radish, which not only enhances the flavor of the fish but also aids in digestion. And tofu? Small blocks of tofu served chilled <em>(hiyayakko)<\/em> or hot <em>(yudofu)<\/em> are sometimes dressed with a bit of ginger paste to give it additional spice. What do all these condiments have in common? If you figured out that they all need to be grated, you win the prize. If you want to make <em>yudofu<\/em> at home, here\u2019s a simple <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/app\/recipe\/-i-yudofu-i-\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff\"><strong>recipe from Zojirushi.<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/skimmer.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3939\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/skimmer.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/skimmer-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/skimmer-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/skimmer-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<p>Obviously this is what you probably think it is. But why is it so flat and shallow? In Japanese cooking, many recipes call for hot pots or <em>nabe<\/em> dishes. As the ingredients cook, scum or foam rises to the surface of the water from the protein produced by the soup stock. Skimming this off keeps the stock nice and clear, and not cloudy. This handy gadget is more indispensable than you think, when you\u2019re making a traditional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/app\/recipe\/-i-mizutaki-i-\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff\"><strong>Mizutaki<\/strong><\/span><\/a> hot pot.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/mortar.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3940\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/mortar.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/mortar-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/mortar-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/mortar-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<p>What th-? It\u2019s so groovy, man. Did you know that Japan is a huge consumer of the sesame seed, importing almost 160,000 tons every year from Latin America? There are 3 different kinds of sesame used in various ways in Japanese cuisine. White Sesame is the most common and the most popular because it has the lightest taste and can be used in salad dressings or to garnish salads. Black Sesame is more distinctive, with a nutty taste, so it\u2019s often used for marinades or crushed to a paste to enhance salads and desserts. Golden Sesame is found in what we might call \u201crice sprinkles\u201d, or <em>furikake,<\/em> a very popular seasoning for white rice and <em>onigiri<\/em> (rice balls). You can buy crushed sesame seeds in packages, but it\u2019s always more fragrant and tastes better if you use this simple tool and do it yourself.<\/p>\n\n<p>For more crazy and exotic kitchen gadgets found only in Japanese cooking, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/?p=1376\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff\"><strong>check this out<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>photo credits: Bert Tanimoto<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is this?
