日本叉燒..櫻花茶..小鯉魚(裝飾)

材料





Here is the recipe for 日本叉燒
One 1 kg (2.2 lb) or so lump of pork roast that is not too lean
It’s best to make this with a cut of meat that isn’t totally lean, so don’t use an expensive cut like tenderloin or filet. It should have a little marbling, just like ham. Quite a lot of the fat will end up in the poaching liquid, which you can just throw out or skim off.
• Kitchen twine to tie up the meat (optional)
For the poaching liquid:
• 1 bunch of green leek tops
• 1 big piece fresh ginger, sliced
• 1 umeboshi (pickled plum) (somewhat optional)
For the marinating liquid:
• 2 cups regular dark soy sauce
• 1/4 cup sugar (or sugar substitute)
• 1/4 cup mirin
• 1/4 cup sake
• 1 tiny bit (not a whole piece) of star anise
If you want your pork to be nicely shaped, tie it up with the kitchen twine neatly. You don’t have to do this if you can’t be bothered.
In the meantime, put the green leek tops, ginger slices, and umeboshi in a pot with enough water to cover the pork. Bring to a boil, then put the meat in. Lower the heat until it’s barely simmering, put on a lid, and poach for 90 minutes. Let cool a bit in the liquid.
In the meantime, combine the marinade ingredients in a smaller pan and bring to the boil. Let cool.
Put the marinade and the still warm, drained pork into a plastic bag. Close tightly, and place in a bowl to catch any leaks. Let marinate, turning every so often, for about an hour or more. Store in the refrige. or until cold.
It can be kept like this in the marinade in a tightly closed container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Or, take out of the marinade and store in the freezer (optionally cut into smaller pieces for easy use and defrosting). Best served cold and thinly sliced.

Sakura tea, it tastes 甘, perfumey and beautiful. I bought this in 大丸 Japan, I was going to buy some last time I visited Japan, but i thought it looks salty, so I didn't buy it. After I came home my friend said you should get some, that's why i bought some this time.The black bean with sugar and little cookies are from 深門寺.
