Goya Chanpuru, Okinawan Cuisine
- 15 g sake (cooking alcohol or Japanese sake)
- 25 g soy sauce
- 1 Tablespoon Bonito stock (dashi)
- 1 pinch salt
- 15 g mirin
- 15 g sesame oil
- 1 Goya
- 150 g bacon
- 2 eggs
- 1 extra firm tofu
- First, prepare the sauce for goya chanpuru.
- Mix sake, soy sauce, mirin, salt,bonito stock all together.
- Hull the goya and cut it in the half lengthwise and take all seeds with a spoon or your fingers and discard them.
- Slice goya thin like the shape of letter C. Goya is a bitter melon.
- (If you do not like this bitterness, put the sliced goya in a water with salt and soak it for 10 minutes.
- I don't do this because I like this bitter taste)
- Wrap the extra firm tofu with 4 kitchen papers and microwave it for 1 minutes.
- This is for removing some of the water from the tofu so it makes a good crispy tofu.
- Prepare the bacon while microwaving the tofu.
- Cut the bacon in 5 cm length.
- Sprinkle salt and black paper on the sliced bacon
- Take the tofu out from the microwave and cut it into large cubes.
- Heat the large frying pan, add the olive oil, and cook the tofu till they brown.
- Remove the browned tofu from the pan.
- Put the sesame oil to the heated pan and add the bacon.
- Add the goya to the pan after the bacon is almost cooked.
- Mix well and continue stirring until the goya becomes wilted.
- Add the tofu and mix gently.
- Be careful not to scramble the tofu.
- Beat the eggs.
- Add the beaten egg and pour the sauce from step 1.
- When the egg is cooked, goya chanpuru is ready to be served!
- Add katsuobushi if you'd like!
- I always add one pack of katsuobushi to the goya chanpuru.
- This is available in an Asian market.
- Place the chanpuru on the plate and itadakimasu!
