Economical Cooking

Do you know Whole Food Cooking? It is a way of cooking with use of whole edible parts of veggies including leaves, stems, fruits, skin and roots. According to this whole food cookery, most of the part of vegetables are edible and contains rich nutrients. I personally believe in this whole food cooking because it can improve our health, and reduces the expenses for food at the same time.   

In Yamaguchi prefecture (southern part of main island in Japan), people eat skin of the mandarin orange which they grown, because it is very good for health especially for the skin. The skin of orange made in Yamaguchi is very thin and less bitterness, so easier to have it. I want to try it one day. 

I made this Role cabbage few weeks ago. My favorite way to eat role cabbage is to have it with sour cream, bacon, and  basil. And...↓

Cabbage Core Marinated Salad

I always have this salad when I make role cabbage. Marinated with salt, pepper, vinegar, and canola oil. Cabbage core is a bit bitter when you have it raw, so use salt to soften them first, or boil it. You can enjoy cabbage core as an ingredients for miso soup as well.

Radish Skin Mayo Salad

Clean the radish skin well, and Peel the radish skin a bit thicker than usual. Salt it to soften them (use salt water), and mix with mayo and Aonori (Dried Seaweed powder). 

Broccoli Stem and Radish sprout miso soup

These taste a bit sweet after boiling the broccoli stem, so it goes well as an ingredients for soup. Make sure to peel the stem skin first because that part is very hard to chew.
