Diary octorber 11 saturday
For about the past six months, I’ve been really into cooking with a seiro (a traditional Japanese bamboo steamer). It all started thanks to a businessman named Mako Nari, who recommended it in one of his videos. In fact, it was also Mako Nari who inspired me to start decluttering my life earlier this year.
Until then, the only way I knew to eat a lot of vegetables was by making miso soup loaded with ingredients. But with a seiro, vegetables are ready in just five to ten minutes.
The ones I often steam are garland chrysanthemum (shungiku), shiitake mushrooms, maitake mushrooms, broccoli, and onions. Of course, it also works great for pork and even boiled eggs. It’s incredibly convenient — and since it helps me eat a lot of vegetables, it’s a really healthy way to take care of myself through food. I highly recommend it to everyone.
When I looked into it, I found that quite a few cooking experts have also been recommending seiro steaming recently. I first learned about it from Mako Nari himself, and I think his ideas in general are excellent. If you’re interested, you should definitely check out his YouTube channel — Mako Nari Shachō.
私はこの半年位せいろにはまっています。きっかけはマコなりさんと言う社長さんのお勧めです。そもそもが今年初めごろに断捨離をする気になったのも まこなりという社長さんでした。今までは野菜をたくさん食べるには具だくさん味噌汁しか知らなかったのです。ところがせいろを使うともう5分から10分で野菜が出来上がります。私はよく食べるのは春菊、椎茸、まいたけ、ブロッコリー、玉ねぎ等です。当然豚肉などもできます。ゆで卵もできます。ほんとに重宝していますし、食べ物から健康づくりをすると言うためにもたくさん野菜が取れてとてもヘルシーです。皆さんにお勧めします。調べてみると最近他にもせいろをお勧めしている料理研究家の人が何人かいるようです。僕はまこなり
