【My Inimitable Husband and Food: An Easy and Delicious Japanese Recipe】Beautiful stories from far away From Japan

■My husband is a tough worker
My husband and I are newlyweds.

We’re living a happy life, but we have one problem: seasoning our food.

My husband is a tough worker. He’s a former national civil servant, and spent the last 10 years doing physical labor.

He goes to bed early, gets up early, and works furiously from the morning.

At his previous job, he sometimes walked 40,000 steps a day.

During the holiday, I woke up to a clean house and all the laundry was done.
Because he is an early riser, he got all the chores out of the way, and he also offered to cook.
■He’s also a huge eater

He’s also a huge eater.

Sometimes, like a black hole, he’ll eat an entire meal I spent 2 hours making in just a few minutes. At first, I was frightened by his power, and I felt more scared than happy.
“I thought we would have leftovers, but now I have to cook again!”
And his food has to be lightly seasoned. He eats a lot, so strong flavors give him a headache.

I was in a difficult position. I like alcohol, so my cooking tends to be a little salty (for him).
I thought about what I should do, and then I bought a salinity meter.
I bought zinc supplements to sharpen my sense of taste. Yes, I am very serious.
I also decided to faithfully follow recipes created by culinary experts.
■Teriyaki Yellowtail

One day, my husband raved about this recipe for Yoshiharu Doi’s Teriyaki Yellowtail

(The name of the fish in Japanese is Buri ぶり 鰤), saying,
“It’s so delicious! You can do it if you try. Keep it up!”

It was this recipe for “Teriyaki Yellowtail” by Yoshiharu Doi(土井善晴). I’ve written about him before, but he’s a very famous Japanese culinary expert.
It has a very rich flavor, but I don’t think it’s too salty. After all, he liked it.
This is the recipe for “Teriyaki Yellowtail” by Yoshiharu Doi:

I’ve linked the recipe here, so why not give it a try?

It requires only soy sauce, sake, mirin (sugar can be used as a substitute), and sugar, and it can be made quickly in a frying pan, even when you’re tired.
■Japanese Bento

At his old job, there was a cafeteria for workers, but at his new workplace, they wont be provided with meals, so I might pack him a lunch from time to time,yes, Japanese Bento.
I’d like to include this “Teriyaki Yellowtail” in his lunches. It’s reassuring to know about such easy, inexpensive, and delicious dishes. Thank you, Professor Doi.
