Gomae 胡麻和え

Gomae is one of the famous Japanese appetizer in North America. It is also popular in Japan, and gomae is always on the side of main dish. There are many types of Gomae recipe exist in each island, region, and family. Some people add miso to the Gomae, and some other add cream to it. Here is one of my original recipe. 

Gomae 胡麻和え

Ingredients: Soy sauce  1 tea spoon　醤油　小さじ1

         材料  Mirin          1 tea spoon　みりん　小さじ1

                   Honey      1 tea spoon　蜂蜜　小さじ1

                   Mayo         1 tea spoon     マヨ　小さじ1

                   Salt             a pinch　　　塩　ひとつまみ

                   Peanut butter       2 tea spoon　

                  ピーナッツバター　小さじ2

                   White sesame      1 tea spoon　白ごま　　小さじ1

                   Any kind of boiled Veggies　　好みの茹でた野菜

☆I use peanut butter instead of sesame paste because sesame paste is costly and hard to find it in Vancouver. バンクーバーでは練り胡麻の値段が高く、手に入りにくいためピーナツバターを代わりに使っています。

Step 1: Mix all the ingredients except boiled veggies.　野菜以外の材料を混ぜます

Step 2: Mix Veggies and sauce together and ready to serve!!　茹でた野菜を混ぜてできあがり

This is a traditional Japanese breakfast with Spinach Gomae on the side.

This is the Celery Gomae. I added a bit of parmesan cheese in this gomae. This cheese gomae sauce is actually perfect to make watercross gomae as well! これは、セロリの胡麻和えです。ゴマだれに少し粉チーズを混ぜてみました。このたれは、クレソンの胡麻和えにもすごく合った！
