Satoshi's parents live in Nagoya and every so often they send us a huge box of groceries full of all his favourite childhood foods - it's like the most adorbs thing ever and for some reason makes me well up every time they do it. Not expressing your love outwardly but instead making sweet gestures like that is just so wa. But yeah, anyway, the other day they sent us about ten million sausages and the most gorgeously fresh and crisp spring cabbage, so I thought I'd put them both to use for dinner. It's a fancy way to eat your sausages and adds some vegetables to the mix!
Ingredients:
♥ Sausages (we love the Johnsonville range 'Beddar with Cheddar' and 'Cooked Brats')
♥ A few cabbage leaves
♥ 1 cup water
♥ A konsome stock cube [コンソメ]
♥ 1 tablespoon of potato starch [片栗粉] mixed with 2 tablespoons water
1. Boil the water and add in the konsome stock cube.
2. Add the cabbage leaves and leave to boil for 4 minutes or until soft.
3. Wrap each sausage in a cabbage leaf.
4. Put back into the boiling water and simmer for 5 minutes.
5. Stir in the potato starch for about 2 minutes until the mixture thickens.
Ooh! This looks really good. I have a friend from Aichi (not Nagoya, but close) who lives in Tokyo, and his parents do the exact same thing! I swear it's the cutest thing ever!
