Our theme this episode is “one soup, three dishes,” the traditional structure for Japanese meals. Our main dish is yellowtail teriyaki, made by cooking deliciously fatty yellowtail with a sweet and savory soy sauce-based sauce that complements it perfectly and goes great with rice. For our side dish, we’ll be making a simple daikon radish and cucumber salad with blended vinegar, and our soup will be miso soup full of the rich flavor of mushrooms. Our final dish is karashi mentaiko or marinated spicy pollock roe, a very popular side to rice in Japan, and a very easy way to add a fun bit of variety to your meal: we’ll also show you an easy and unique twist using karashi mentaiko.
