KARASHI RENKON (Lotus Root with Japanese Hot Mustard) - REGIONAL food from KUMAMOTO, JAPAN 辛子蓮根の作り方

[@ymn202]

How interesting! Please show more of these less known recipes in the future!

[@justonecookbook]

Thank you! I think it's good to feature some less-known regional recipes once in a while. I really want to share more home cooking meals and some regional foods from Japan that are not known worldwide... I think we have enough sushi, tempura, teriyaki stuff. ;)

[@AS-os3lj]

This is awesome, i never heard of this. This is better than a default recipe that 100 channels have on KZbin!

[@glowingstar71]

I had this in Fukuoka last year, and I didn't know the name of it! Thank you for posting this! I will try to make it tomorrow.

[@corlissyamasaki3476]

Thank you for posting this video! My husband's grandmother came from Kumamoto and sher used to make this every New Year. She passed several years ago, and I never learned how to make this. Now I can !

[@justonecookbook]

Hope you enjoy making this recipe!

[@chrismoore9686]

What an interesting recipe! And I love the way Mr. JOC edits these videos. He is very talented!

[@justonecookbook]

Thank you for your kind words, Chris! I'll let Mr. JOC know you enjoyed his edits. :)

[@sploogecarp814]

The music for the video is so nice! I like the mix of the real cooking sounds and music, blends smoothly.😊

[@justonecookbook]

Thank you for your kind words, Kyla!

[@vedivedi]

After eating this in Japan, I was looking for this recipe! Thank you 😊

[@cheronroggen9638]

The recipe is so authentic and different! Yum☺

[@justonecookbook]

Thank you Cheron! It is very different from what I normally cook. Very fun to try cooking a regional food sometimes.

[@rafaelgarcia1401]

Nami-san , here comes another amazing video fulfilled with authenticity and passion. Nice job, and thanks for your time and effort !

[@justonecookbook]

Thank you so much for your kind words, Rafael!

[@fourangers]

I always ate this dish, dreaming to find a good recipe of it. Thank you so much for uploading this video! I loved it!

[@justonecookbook]

Thank you so much! Hope you enjoy!

[@rainicascadia5514]

Thank you Nami-san for your beautiful presentations and authentic recipes! Unfortunately for me I now live in an area where I cannot find the ingredients to make them all. :((( But I hope in the future I can and still love the recipes in the mean time! Thank you Nami-san!!!!

[@justonecookbook]

Hi Raini! I understand, some Japanese ingredients are hard to find. I want to still introduce the real and authentic Japanese food to everyone, as sushi, teriyaki, and tempura seem like the only "Japanese food" people think. It's my desire to share different Japanese foods that people encounter when they visit Japan. :)

[@Amanda-vp8ou]

Wow what a beautiful dish, it looks very interesting and tasty ♥

[@justonecookbook]

Thank you for your kind words, Amanda!

[@Shokupan982]

This is so interesting! I love renkon and karashi, so I imagine I'd enjoy it. Thanks for introducing me to this dish, Nami-san! P.S. My father’s family is originally from Kumamoto, and I’d love to visit there someday. We lost touch with that side of the family because my ancestors moved to the U.S. in the 1800s. I keep wondering if I still have relatives there. Luckily, we're still in contact with my mom's relatives in Yamaguch-ken.

[@justonecookbook]

Hi Yoshiko-san! Thank you so much for sharing your story! It's always interesting to hear about ancestors from Japan, and how they lived (maybe because I'm the first generation who came to the US). I'm sure your father's side of family eat this dish for the New Years! It seems like it's their tradition in Kumamoto. :)

[@kennyrogers803]

Woow!! Thats very amazing!! Thats taste so delicious and crispy golden brown lotus roots!! I like that dish so much!! Great dish!! See u anytime!!

[@justonecookbook]

Thanks for watching! It’s super unique but very popular regional food in Kumamoto or some parts of Kyushu. If you ever visit you would know right away. It’s sold everywhere at shops.

[@kennyrogers803]

Just One Cookbook Ok!! Thanks!! Have a great day too!!

[@ChefRafi]

Now I know what to do with leftover lotus root!! Very unique! ❤️👨‍🍳

[@justonecookbook]

Yeah it is super unique! I never had it until last summer in Kumamoto. I have other lotus root recipes here too: www.justonecookbook.com/?s=lotus+root

[@juneseongmin]

Interesting use of turmeric powder in Japanese cooking. While in Malaysia turmeric powder is like a staple ingredient in our pantry for Malay people it is. We use it to to marinate our fish and chicken before frying it which we call "ayam goreng" (fried chicken) and "ikan goreng" (fried fish). It is also uses in stir fry cabbages too which a common dish in Muslim Indian a.k.a mamak here in Malaysia.

[@justonecookbook]

It’s super rare to use turmeric in Japanese cooking too! That’s why this regional food in Kumamoto, Kyushu, is very interesting. Historically it was served to the shogun or someone (forgot exact person name) who was ill. Both mustard and turmeric have good effect.

[@abbysmommy1205]

Looks tasty! Ive never had lotus before.

[@justonecookbook]

It’s common in Asian cuisine. It’s such an interest ingredient isn’t it? I love lotus root texture - crunchy and delicious especially with tempura and deep fried!

[@abbysmommy1205]

Just One Cookbook i will have to try it next time i do tempura

[@joewhyam]

Miso and lotus root, what is not to like.. Didnt know we could cook lotus root like this. We usually just boiled in soup at home.. Would try this week

[@hidekigomi]

作り方見たことなかったんで興味深かったです、食べたことないんですけどマズイわけがない！九州は名物（プリンドラも名物かな？）が多くていいですね。伊勢出身なんですけど「なんかご当地物作って」って言われてもあんまりないんですよね～

[@justonecookbook]

名古屋と九州は特に、関東で食べるものとかなり違っていて、とても興味深かったです。同じ（小さい）日本とは言え、郷土料理が他の地方で食べれないのも、その場で食べてみたい、訪れてみたいと思う魅力かなと思いました。

[@conorjhanratty]

This looks magic. Hope I can find renkon here in Ireland to try it :))

[@justonecookbook]

Hi Conor! Thank you! Probably in Asian grocery stores as Chinese and Koreans use these root vegetables too! 😊

[@hollyhasegawa4240]

Very interesting, one recipe and dish I have never heard of, if I can find the ingredients where I live I might have to try it, thank you again, and I so enjoy this channel

[@justonecookbook]

Hi Holly! Exactly! We have all these ingredients in other parts of Japan, too, yet this is only enjoyed in Kumamoto. Really cool regional dish! Thank you for watching!

[@sundaybutane9725]

Do you have any recipes on how to make miso? (or fermentation guide)

[@justonecookbook]

I’ll add to my list! 😊

[@lilym.9842]

It looks tasty and certainly interesting, but I wish it was easier to do :)

[@justonecookbook]

I agree. :)

[@gamerhalim4717]

Can I make less salty?

[@jerrypierreponte5864]

That is quite an interesting blend of spices! Is the Karashi mustard really hot, or not so much? Unfortunately I can't consume spicy foods. So if it is hot, can you suggest an alternative? Thx Nami!

[@justonecookbook]

It is hot, but mixed with miso and other ingredients that it’s not red chili kinda spice. It’s more like wasabi style punch. You can totally omit it. 😊

[@texrexy5344]

Some of the japanese ingredient for lotus root filling is hard to find, I'm thinking to use salted egg instead...can it be done?

[@justonecookbook]

I don’t think I had salted eggs before... it’s Asian (Chinese?) dish right? It may work. :)

[@aidansyto3585]

Why do you scrape the renkon with your fork? So the batter can stick to it better?

[@justonecookbook]

Yes, that's correct!

[@aidansyto3585]

Dont tell me ur from saitama voice acter vid

[@SlashGiefs]

I personally think the cinematic introduction part could be a lot shorter.

[@justonecookbook]

Thanks for the feedback! This recipe has too many unfamiliar cooking steps to tell a clear story of the dish. Finding a balance / a sweet spot for both enough intro time and story telling is our challenge. 🙂

Ah! We just found out my daughter has it (my mom too). I'm sorry about that. She can't cook pancakes because of that...
