How to make Chashu and Nitamago 〜チャーシュー〜 | easy Japanese home cooking recipe

[@sophisthecat7163]

I found your channel yesterday and I am already obsessed with your videos. I love love love the japanese cuisine and found it very difficult to cook various recepes because of the ingredients. But you seem to live in the same part of the world as I do, so I am able to buy the same ingredients 😁 Be sure that I am going to try a lot of your recipes in the near future.

[@taijiskitchen]

glad to hear you like my videos!! enjoy!!

[@hpoornimarao]

True that, all the ingredients used r avlb even in India.

[@pinkmonkeybird2644]

You do a great job explaining all the details of cooking. You appeal to everyone interested in cooking and not just beginners, though, because you are so thorough and go through the process in logical order. This puts beginners at ease because they get a roadmap to follow, while more experienced cooks can find pointers and recipe combinations they’ve never considered before.

I am so excited to try this! Thank you for making these videos, both the recipes and the cultural education. Travel is beyond my means financially but I use excellent educators, like yourself, to become a more knowledgeable and appreciative global citizen. I am grateful, sir. - a Wyoming wife

[@veggiegirl3848]

Wow! I love your detailed explanations about the process, and it makes me feel comfortable enough to try cooking pork belly! That looks so flavorful!

[@taijiskitchen]

glad you feel that way! bc thats exactly my aim of this channel, making Japanese food as accessible as possible!!

[@telmoaf4756]

It is a nice channel, we discovered a couple of days and we are loving your work. Our family, one day per week, eat Japanese dinner, traditional dishes, not industrial sushi. We bought a cooking book about soups, but you are best. Can you explain more recipes with marinated eggs? Thank you, received our better wishes, love, peace and health from Asturias, in the north of Spain.

Thank you for eating some of it on the video. I know its important to enjoy the chashu, tare, and rice together so its nice to see that reflected at the end where you ate it. I always want to put soy sauce on the rice after I finish the meat but I know it would be seen as unusual. I wonder if more tare would be okay?

I'm addicted to your channel! Love every video I've seen so far. I make a traditional Chinese Char siu and did not know that Japan has its own version. Very informative. With Chinese char siu the ingredients are a bit more complex and the cooking process is to marinate overnight or up to a week before slow roasting in an oven. I cannot wait to try your process. Love Japanese cuisine and you make each recipe easy to follow. Plus, you are so cute. 😅

[@ma.edithamendoza9181]

I had seen the title of this video and hadn't had a chance to watch it BUT pork belly was on sale so I took that as a sign - and OMG it was D E L I C I O U S! And so easy! It lifted my 'brothy noodles/ramen' to a whole new level. Big thumbs up from hubby too. Your step by step instructions and all the little details you include make your videos outstanding. I can just imagine that your students must love your classes - you are a gifted instructor. Can't wait to see you hit 200K! Like so many others I am catching up with all your videos and really appreciate your work. Cheers from Sydney Oz!

[@ramthian]

Very nice 👍

[@taijiskitchen]

[@kamikazitsunami]

In America most of the char siu that we have is Cantonese style with a red sweet barbecue sauce and the meat has crispy caramelized edges.

[@bahedbanger]

cantonese char siu (skewered bbq pork) is the original authentic dish! kyou can add a little 5 spice to give it the bbq flavor). the japanese take on foreign dishes is always amazing.

[@justjan147]

Taiji, that dish looked absolutely delicious! I've never had pork belly that way. You made it look so easy. I agree there is a lot of waiting and you have to plan ahead if you want this dish since it does have to refrigerate for 24 hours. I love the tip of wetting the wooden rice spoon before fluffing and serving the rice! I do have one question. When you say 1.2 cups of water to cook the rice do you mean 1 and 1/2 cups of water or 1 and 1/8 cups of water? Thank you for sharing your recipe! 😊🌻

[@riaconradt2554]

It’s 1 and 1/5 cups of water.

[@Occupatio]

Hallo taiji-san, Ich schaue deine Videos von Anfang an, folge dir aber erst seit kurzem. Ich liebe die japanische Küche sehr und bin so froh, dass sie so vielseitig ist. Da ich leider eine fischeiweißallergie habe, bleiben mir einige kulinarische Köstlichkeiten verwehrt. Mit dem japanisch kochen habe ich vor etwa zehn, zwölf Jahren angefangen. Ich habe eine Freundin in fukuoka und wir tauschen uns regelmäßig über Rezepte aus. Ich hab nur zwei kleine Fragen an dich: in welcher Region in Deutschland lebst du? Und wo in Deutschland bekomme ich "fujiya peach nectar" in Flaschen ohne dabei arm zu werden? Ich habe in einem Video über vending machines gesehen, dass es diesen Saft quasi überall in Japan zu erstaunlich günstigen Preisen gibt. Aber ich verzweifle hier ein wenig! Mach weiter so!

My mouth is watering watching this! Like you mentioned in the video, this is quite a process but it doesn't look too difficult. Can you freeze the meat and the sauce (I'm guessing the eggs won't freeze well)?

yes, you can freeze the meat and the sauce.

Thank you for the great recipe! if I don't have pork belly, can I use other part of the pork?

[@HannaARTzink]

I did not know that the japanese ate pork. Very interesting recipe. This could also be put in a fridge in a bowl, saving us from excessive use of plastics. Another 5 cents: slurping is known as tasting technique - soups, coffee etc but lapping is probable a bit difficult to accept in the West.

[@babylizacruzcasimiro9101]

[@tovemagnussen4423]

The meat, can it be salted and smoked before rolling&cooking it? Since I started cooking rice your way... Never failed, perfect every time! ❤

[@marie-suzankalogeropoulos9249]

Hello, don't know what Taijisan's answer would be, but slow stewing in sugar and soy sauce is already a preserving technique of its own, and enhances the specific flavors of the pork, together with garlic and ginger... Smoking and salting are also lovely preserving techniques, and I could live on bacon year in year out ! But, though making this recipe with bacon might end up an interesting experiment, you might as well discard the specific Japanese process, throw in a pound of soaked beans, and remember to finish with a nice glaze of maple syrup, period😅! The most interesting part of testing foreign cuisine, may be in the discovery of the special differences, not in covering these up with what we already know too well, don't U think ? ❤ from Paris

[@riaconradt2554]

Hi Taiji. Which type vegetable or vegetable dish will go with this dish (besides the garnishing)? Especially from your existing recipes… I normally have a vegetable dish with my meats. Thanks!

[@smontone]

What temperature are the eggs eaten at for the nitamago? Is it cold from the refrigerator or is it allowed to come to room temperature?

[@taijiskitchen]

better to have in room temperature in advance, if possible.

[@jimdeane3667]

Hi Taiji. I wonder if this would work with lamb in substitute for the pork? If I were going to try lamb, I think I would substitute shawarma seasoning in place of the chili powder too.

[@taijiskitchen]

never thought of that (since we rarely eat lamb in Japan, only in Hokkaido), but only one way to find out! try it yourself!!

[@ira._.]

always making the same mistake and watching your videos before going to bed :D looks really good and will give it a try next week ^^ do you think this will also go great in a sandwich?

[@taijiskitchen]

hahaha, sorry I never thought of that, but why not! there's only one way to find out!

[@SamCaracha]

Why did you not put salt on the pork belly before you rolled it? Or did I just not see it...? Or is the soysauce enough?

[@stefimandi186]

Hi Taiji! I need your advise. Next year we are planning some Healthy Eating sessions and I want to come up with Japanese food. Is there a special holiday in Japan to celebrate the healthy features of Japanese cooking? I know there is an International Sushi Day, but raw fish is not too popular in my country. I would prefer to introduce your delicious soups, or ragouts, or all those wonderful fermented ingredients and the well balanced macro nutrients. So anything, what makes Japanese cooking healthy. Thank you for your advise in advance!

[@taijiskitchen]

I can't really think of such holiday in Japan, since eating healthy is a natural thing. the only date, that I can think of similar idea would be Niiname-sai on the Nov. 23rd: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niiname-no-Matsuri it is similar to thanksgiving, where emperor pursue a ritual to thank the gods for the blessing of that year. but it is more of a royal event rather than something we as commoner do, so I dont know if this fit your idea. but anyhow, your idea sounds super!! hope it turns out well and let me know if I can be of any more help!!

[@svenskdod]

Do you use Nitamago and Ajitama interchangeably or is it something different? I have used Ajitama and maybe I’m incorrect?

[@svenskdod]

Also, doesn’t nitamago just mean 2 eggs, or is there a contextual thing here. (Early Japanese learner).

[@taijiskitchen]

oh, you are right, these are actually Ajitama (or Ajitamago), since they are flavored. Nitamago means actually just cooked eggs (ni ← 煮 meaning to cook or cooked), but in Japan it means usually soft boiled egg used as a topping. and Ajitama means flavored egg (Aji ← 味 meaning flavor) usually as a definition, Ajitama is included in Nitamago, since it needs to be cooked first. so Ajitama is a type of Nitamago, and sometimes unflavored soft boiled eggs are used as toppings, so those are Nitamago. so in this case it should actually be Ajitama, but since I didn't think it is a well-known word, I used Nitamago, which of course is not wrong.

[@taijiskitchen]

in this case "ni" is not two, but to cook/cooked. not 二卵 but rather 煮卵. Japanese language have many of these Homonyms, since we have less vowels and consonants.
