  • BASIC STOCK “DASHI” Dashi Or Basic Stock Plays a Fundamental Role in Simmered Dishes, Soups and Other Japanese Cuisine, Ultimately Determining Their Flavors
    BASIC STOCK “DASHI” Dashi or basic stock plays a fundamental role in simmered dishes, soups and other Japanese cuisine, ultimately determining their flavors. This tasty stock will greatly enhance the overall taste of food and by learning how to prepare it, cooking Japanese food will become more fun. PREPARATION: 2000ml water Warm up the water, just before boiling add: 40g kombu algae (previously soaked in cold water for 2-4hrs) When the water boils, add: 60g dried Shiitake mushrooms/Bonito flakes MISO SOUP WITH EGGPLANT “MISO SHIRU” Miso soup is an integral part of Japanese cuisine. Properly prepared dashi is the crucial element in miso soup. 1. Cut eggplant and leek into bite-sized pieces (soak eggplant in cold water first for few minutes to eliminate the bitterness). 2. Prepare dashi. 3. Cook dashi in middle-high temperature. Add eggplant and lower the temperature just before boiling. Gradually add miso paste and stir lightly. Add leek. Serve in small bowls. Instead of eggplant, other types of vegetables can be used in miso soup such as spinach, onion, cale, wakame algae or classic Japanese tofu. Taste of miso paste differs from brand to brand – some miso pastes are more salty and assertive in taste so it is necessary to taste the miso paste before preparation. INGREDIENTS -2 eggplants -1200ml dashi -90 g miso paste -leek “TEMPURA” Tempura is a Japanese dish of seafood or vegetables that have been battered and deep fried. 1. Prepare sauce – Cook soy sauce, mirin and sake (medium heat) for several minutes. Remove the heads of the shrimps, shell and devein but leave the tails attached.

  • Miso Soup Yield: 4
    Miso Soup Yield: 4 The base of a good miso soup begins with the dashi and is characterized by the ​ ​ different types of miso used. Miso is a thick paste produced from fermenting, rice, soybeans or barley. Miso can range in varying complexities and saltiness and is commonly identified by their colors from the less salty and sweet white (shiro) miso to red (mugi or sendai) to dark (hatcho). Dashi is Japanese stock made using the konbu or kombu, dried giant kelp and katsuobushi – wispy paper thin flakes from dried bonito fish. Dashi stock can be simmered once, and is called ichiban dashi or first dashi and is used for clear simple soups. This same dashi can be simmered again to make niban dashi or second dashi to give the soup a fuller flavor. Niban dashi is used for miso soup. Homemade Dashi Yield: 4 cups or 1 quart 4 cups cold water water 2 pieces 4-inch premium konbu or kombu ( dried kelp) 1/3 cup katsuobushi shaved dried bonito flakes 1. Make the first dash (ichiban dashi): Fill a saucepan with cold water and soak ​ the konbu. Heat until steam is rising off the pot. Do not allow the water to boil ​ as it will turn the dashi bitter. Just before the dashi begins to boil, turn off the heat and take the konbu out and set it aside. ​ ​ 2. Add the katsuobushi flakes and simmer for a couple of minutes. Take it off heat and strain to remove the katsuobushi flakes. This is your first dashi and at this stage can be used to make clear simple soups.

    Talking Dirty, Tongue First Research at the Mouth of the Thames Estuary \ Fran Gallardo and Arts Catayst 1 2 „ + =Leigh-on-Sea Sailing Club Boat Yard Leigh Marsh Two Tree Island Hadleigh Ray î 3 200 meters Talking Dirty: Tongue First! Recipes & Research at the Mouth of the Thames for John, a friend, lovely smuggler, queer sailor and activist By Fran Gallardo & Arts Catalyst 5 6 Preface Talking Dirty: Tongue First! Recipes & Research at the Mouth of the Thames, is a commission by Arts Catalyst led by artist Fran Gallardo. Talking Dirty: Tongue First! was a series of public events involving local foods, their source, preparation and consumption, leading to this recipe book produced in collaboration with the situated knowledge of South Essex people, scientific research and global socio-environmental ‘trends’. This book contains instructions for cooking with estuary ingredients: Grey Mullet and Hair Soy sauce to inhaling Fogs and Airs of the Thames Estuary. Through introducing local people to ingredients from the Thames in public cooking and tasting workshops in Leigh-on-Sea, they explored environmental and industrial changes including social impacts of these changes. Alongside these tastings, Andy Freeman led citizen science workshops which investigated the traces of waste disposal on the ‘unnatural’ nature reserve of Two Tree Island in Leigh-on-Sea with Dr Mark Scrimshaw, Reader in Environmental Chemistry at Brunel University. Citizen science workshops involved the use of digital technologies to investigate the legacy of generations of industrial use and misuse in the estuary landscape to reflect on wildlife habitats, global effects of climate change, industrialisation, farming, risk and health.

There are many commercially available varieties of edible seaweed known for their medicinal properties and food values. However, seaweed can concentrate exceptionally high amounts of heavy elements available from sea, some of which are toxic. Seaweeds have also been used as bioindicators to monitor environmental pollution and for decontamination of some toxic elements from wastewaters [1]. In this study, multielemental speciation analysis of essential and toxic elements in commercially available brown seaweeds such as hiziki and wakame is performed using size exclusion chromatography coupled to inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry in order to examine the association of trace elements and metals with different molecular weight extracts of seaweed.
