Tips for cooking

By adding Japanese yam (nagaimo), it becomes fluffy without adding eggs. By adding rice flour, it becomes fragrant, but if you don't have rice flour, you can use the same amount of cake flour (pastry flour) instead. The ingredients go well with not only pork but also with seafood, so please make it as you like. We used Japanese versatile dashi base (shiro-dashi) that is 10 times concentrated. The flavor and intensity of Japanese versatile dashi base (shiro-dashi) differs depending on the type, so please use the amount on the package as a guide and adjust to your preference. We used 100% rice flour that does not add any sugar or flour.
