@kon4music it's a kind of vegetable gelatin, and it's vegan. it doesn't really have much taste. but it doesn't melt in your mouth like most gelatins its firm.
I wish I could get all of those ingredients in the US. Some are hard to find and are not usually fresh. I guess its easier in some cities, but not mine. Awesome vide, thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
For Japanese people food is art. I don't know, for me I like food look like food not like art. I don't need carrots wich look like flowers. Nevertheless, thanks for the clip. Made much of efforts. Happy New Year.
@luticia same. I don't need decorations because it's going to end up in the same place. Then again us people from the UK are more concerned with keeping our stomachs full and our energy up. (which is why UK food isn't that nice to look at lol) *shrug*
@luticia I know what you mean, I like cute food, but It's too much work for me. But it's not like they always cook like this, it's because it's New Year's food. Everything they cook then has a special meaning celebrating the New Year (such as good health, fertility, good harvest, happiness, long life, etc…) so making different shapes and using different colours is not only for the beauty of the dish.
@crtorrespr konnyaku is a traditional Japanese sort of firm jelly made from a special plant (some sort of potato or the root from the plant, I don't know anymore :P). It has almost no taste (maybe a bit salty) and is used mostly because of the texture and because it's supposed to be very low in calories and very healthy. Japanese people like mixing different tastes and textures like salty/sweet/sour etc. so they generally like sticky or jelly-like things.
Do you serve this right away or does it keep for a while? If you don't eat it right away, do you store it in the box? I will be trying this. ありがとうございます!
How did I not get the auto-notice :(( Sorry for my lateness commenting.. this is an absolutely amazing recipe! tasty and delicious!!! Have a great New Year!!! (*U*) xxx
Fantastic presentations! Almost looks too good to eat. "Almost"...
I hope you had/have a wonderful holiday season! And btw, I was able to find La-Yu at a market in the next town over, so I bought some. I'm going to make that scallop roses recipe now, without needing a substitute for it :)
Can you please recommend other uses for the La-Yu? Seems this stuff will be delicious on just about anything, really. It'd be much appreciated.
If I want to use fresh vegetables and not frozen, how would that effect the cooking time? My market has the fresh gobo, lotus, and bamboo but not frozen.
@faylinameir i think it takes few hours to prepare each vegetables and simmer. and of course, cooking time for each vegetables are different, so it is better to separate the pot when you cook, which is pain in the neck X( i did that once long time ago and bamboo was not that easy...
Whaoo!!!! All of your Osechi-Ryoris look so amazing and decorative!! I would probably just stare in Aw at them and wouldn't know where to start eating! Super pretty!! Thank you for sharing the recipe!
Ochikeron さん, thank you for all of your videos over the past year, I've really enjoyed watching them! Wishing you a happy and healthy 2012! よいお年を! (^_^)/
Thanks for this tutorial, Osechi-Ryori looks very festive! I've never heard of konjak before though I've seen the plant. Very interesting to learn about this ingredient :) I also wouldn't worry about choking because the whole dish is nothing babies would like and as an adult... well, it should be common sense that chewing is always a good thing to do ;)
@lumpfish99 same in japan. if you are old or too young (like baby) but we eat. it is mostly said for konjac jello btw. anyways it is necessary for japanese dishes ;)
@MrThunder1452 Its jelly like and used for the texture in stuff like oden and sukiyaki. Its made from some plant flour and water kind of like gelatin and is similar to Korean dotorimuk (acorn jelly)
@KaitLikesStuff i think this dish is the healthiest of all osechi ryori! that's why my darling loves it and i make it in a large portion every year ;)
