One Pan Cooking: Moist Shio-Koji "Roast" Pork
I've been trying all kinds of recipes using homemade shio-koji. Shio-koji brings out the natural umami in food, so I tried making a simple 'roast' pork with it. It was more delicious than I imagined, so I think I'n becoming an even bigger shio-koji fan now. Even the fat is amazingly tasty. This is dangerous since I keep overeating! Make sure to brown the surface of the pork belly block all over first. Then cook the meat while adjusting the heat level until the meat is cooked through and bounces back when you poke it, shaking the frying pan occasionally and turning the meat. If you cut through it and you're not sure it's cooked through, fry the slices in a pan or microwave briefly. I marinated the meat in shio-koji for 5 days this time. For 3 to 4 servings.

Chikuwa and Bell Pepper Stir-Fry with Yuzu Pepper and Mayo
I usually stock up on chikuwa because I love fish cakes so much. One day, I realized that the expiration dates were getting close. I wanted to use them up since I already had another bag in the freezer. This recipe is a new variation of the "Pork Stir Fry with Yuzu Pepper and Mayo" that I posted in the past. The chikuwa I used were thin. You could also use king oyster mushrooms instead of shimeji. Make sure the heat is high throughout the process. I recommend adding freshly ground black pepper to finish. You could use sansho peppers instead, or add bonito flakes as an accent. For 2 servings. Recipe by Sabumochi

Stir Fried Fish Sausages with Sesame Flavor
Sauteing fish sausages together with shiitake mushrooms and green peppers in sesame oil yielded one delicious dish. You can use other mushrooms aside from shiitake. Add in shichimi chili powder if you want to spice it up. If you have time, pan-roast the sesame seeds and mince it, and it will improve the taste and texture. For 1~2 people. Recipe by Mikki-an
