Fried Konjac, scallions and Shichimi pepper
焼きこんにゃくと葱七味

Konjac is a starchy root vegetable that can be made into a flour and used in low-carb food products. It contains water-soluble dietary fiber called glucomannan.
Making incisions and pan-frying it will give it a better texture. I chopped up some green onions, poured a little ponzu sauce, and sprinkled it with plenty of shichimi pepper.

Red Shiso Inari roll
赤紫蘇いなりロール

I mixed red perilla powder into freshly cooked glutinous rice. I then took aburaage, deep-fried tofu pouches—which had been briefly simmered in a light broth of dashi, light soy sauce, and mirin—opened them up and flattened them out to wrap around the rice, creating a hearty, inari-style sushi roll.

Sauerkraut with Indonesian long pepper
ザワークラウト、ロングペッパー風味

I wanted to make a different kind of sauerkraut, so I added 2 or 3 long peppers bought in Indonesia besides juniper berries. It softens the acidity and gives it a mild peppery aroma.
