Cooked some taros with our octagonal handle knife

Today, I cooked some taros that I harvested in the farm. Isimmered it slowly with soy sauce, sugar, Japanese soup broth, and sweet sake, making the potatoes very soft and warm. This is a very standard dish in Japan during the cold seasons, and makes a delicious addition to packed bento lunches if you add some extra flavoring.

The taros have a smooth texture and a distinct “slime,” so you must be extremely careful when peeling its skin with a knife– your hands may slip and you may hurt yourself. This is when a trusted kitchen knife with a strong grip comes in handy.

Our kitchen knives have octagonal grips, which prevent slipping and allow you to prepare food without adding extra force to your hands.

Today, we used a knife called “Nakiri” (Vegetable knife), which has a square shape that is distinct to Japanese knives. With this knife, you can even cut through the uneven surfaces of taros with all its different sizes and shapes.

Warm your body with ginger flavor

I just tried making beef and onions simmered in soy sauce.

First slice onions and julienne ginger. Then gently simmer the beef with soy sauce, sugar, and sake.

The flavor of ginger helps increase appetite. In Japan, the autumn leaves have become beautiful, and it’s getting colder and colder. Ginger helps warm your body, so I love to eat a lot of it in the cold winter months.

This dish also tastes great over rice.

Santoku knife is good for cutting the onion slices.
Using a sharp knife means you can prepare onions easily with no tears.
The weight of the blade cuts straight through the onion leaving the layers intact.

The Santoku knife is the knife most commonly used in Japanese homes. As long as you have one, you can handle any ingredient that comes your way, from vegetables to meat and fish. How about to get one?
