[shoku-and-awe]

I am *not* a fan of nameko mushrooms. There are a lot of difficult, acquired-taste, fermented or smelly or slimy or otherwise challenging Japanese foods that I'm good with, but these, I've never come around on. I don't like the smell (fruity, kinda rotten), I don't like the liquid they're packed in, I don't like the slime (it lingers on other foods and coats the roof of your mouth), I don't like the way they roll arond and squish and slide when you bite down. I simply am not a fan.

However! I am even more not a fan of wasting food. And I happen to be a recent recipient of a pack of nameko. So let's go! Let's make them palatable!

Step 1: My colander is my best friend. I rinse the nameko several times, under different temperatures of water, trying to see if I can get the slime off and turn them into normal mushrooms.

This is about as good as it gets. It's progress—they're no longer coated in the fucking ooze!—but we're still well far away from normal mushrooms.

(The gossipy mama at the 7-11 will later tell me that slimy food is what I need to heal my back injury. Okay! So maybe this failure is a good thing? I don't know if the slime actually helps, but I understand that it's considered to have an anti-aging effect, skincarewise, so I can see why it might help with old-person-related injuries, and anyway, I'm really enjoying okra in my shrimp and mulukhiyah leaves in my miso soup recently and that's certainly not hurting anyone! I'm still years away from being a nameko fan, though. [OR AM I?])

I chop and sauté a quarter onion, half a leek, and a couple cloves of garlic. When they're smelling good, I throw the nameko in too.

I make a batter with flour, water, salt, and a drizzle of sesame oil. If I'm doing it right, I think, I would mix the nameko straight into the batter, but for some reason, I don't. I pour it on top of them in the pan and immediately begin worrying that I've fucked up. I tear up a piece of my husband's sad-person reduced-cholesterol plastic cheese and throw it on top for insurance. Can't go wrong with cheese.

It might be starting to come together! The key is to start out low and slow so the pancake/pajeon/pizza has time to solidify and cook through. Once it's solid enough to flip unassisted, you can turn the heat up and get it crisping real nice.

I do the awesome flipping maneuver: cover the pan with a plate, then flip the whole deal over so the wet side of the pancake falls onto the plate, then sliiiiide the wet side back, facedown, into the pan to finish cooking. It's really coming together!

Would you look at that! It looks like real food!

I cut it with food scissors and find a dipping sauce. Most people would prepare some kinda soy sauce mixture, but idk; I just use chinkiang vinegar, one of the best things in the world. Which it turns out goes great with cheese!

And it's tasty! It really is. Some of the fruity, fermenty nameko flavor is still there, but between the doughy/crispy pancake, the cheese, and all the allium goodness, it's a very mild, soy saucey flavor! It's not unlike a very, very Japanese white pizza. If you'd told me a few hours ago that nameko could be this good, I wouldn't've believed you! Honestly, I still might not! Good for me.

Mushroom-2: eating mushrooms

Dried Shiitake steak with soy sauce, tarragon style (29.09.2020)

Nameko and Grated radish with Soy sauce (25.07.2020)

（@ 2mushroom dishes I made）

It looks like this. Molds and mushrooms grow by taking digestive enzymes out of the body, dissolving plant-derived organic matter, and using them as their own nutrition. Therefore, molds and mushrooms are extremely important at the level of the whole organism as they decompose those debris for the forest, which would be filled with tree debris if left untouched. In particular, mushrooms that decay trees are called "white-rot fungi" and are the only organisms that can decompose the skeleton substance of trees (a polymer whose main raw material is phenol) called lignin, which even white ants cannot decompose. It then sucks up nutrients from the trees and turns them into nutritious mushrooms that entertain people. In terms of nutritional value, mushrooms are comparable to meat and fish. A few years ago, Russian mathematician Perelman, who was awarded the Fields Medal (Nobel Prize in mathematics) by solving an unsolved mathematical problem (Poincare conjecture), refused to receive the award and searched for mushrooms in the forest. As expected, Russians love mushrooms so much.

 When eating mushrooms, if you think they are confusing with poisonous mushrooms, it is wise not to eat them. In general, there is no standard for distinguishing between edible mushrooms and poisonous mushrooms. "You can eat with eggplant" and "you can eat mushrooms that split vertically" are all lies. You have to know the mushrooms one by one. By the way, I have collected wild mushrooms (when I was living in the mountains), but I collected two species of mushrooms that can be identified with certainty. One is Iguchitake, which grows selectively in larch forests. There is a slime like nameko. For soaking. The other is the fox tea plant. It is a white sphere and grows on the roadside. For soup. Kuritake and Agaricus were cultivated by myself. Kuritake is made by driving a columnar top into a Hodagi （Body　of Tree for culture） and planting it in the soil,  it doesn’t came out from the first year and was not eaten. but I ate it in that year. And it is for three or four years edible, but my family didn't try to eat it, my brother ate it in the fourth year, and my father didn't eat it until the end. I told his dad that he didn't eat it because he was also closely related to the deadly poisonous mushroom called Nigakuritake, so he was shy. I bought Agaricus from a seed company for each cultivation set. It was mentioned that it has an anti-cancer effect.

The key substance, lignin, is contained in the wood pulp that is the raw material for Western paper today, but it turns brown when exposed to the sun. This is inevitable for Western paper with lignin. However, mulberry, mitsumata, ganpi, etc., which are the materials of Japanese paper, are made into paper by peeling the bast fibers from the skin. It is fair because it does not contain lignin, and it becomes whiter as it gets in the sun.

As I read somewhere, in an area that was radioactively contaminated by the Chiernobyl nuclear accident (probably Ukraine), parents said, "We eat mushrooms and feed our children (relatively safe) steaks." That is the practice.

When trees are polluted, mushrooms are polluted  too,and it is dangerous to eat mushrooms, but I thought it was different. : "The nutritional value of mushrooms is comparable to that of meat and fish." That is why parents can live on mushrooms.

I also consciously eat mushrooms. The dried shiitake steak is delicious. (It is a shiitake mushroom dried by myself.)

Some Holmes and Nameko sketches! that's it! they're silly n cute!

(god forbids the hand-sweater thingy Holmes has going on; drawing hands is hard and that was his signature looks....I don't draw them outside of sketches o7)

Nameko looks composed at first glance but he's as much of a dork as Holmes, if not worse in his own way. As much as he looks like it because of how I draw him Holmes is not a smol bean either. He's just akward.

Favorite Japanese dish?

Bonus question: have you ever tried to make those fluffy pancakes? I hear is easy to do in rice makers.

Mmmmmm that's hard.

I'll list several that come to mind, but they're by no means the end all be all.

Fair warning: If you're easily squicked out by non-western foods, then you may want to read with caution from here on out because I won't censor myself.

First of all, soba.

Specifically the cold stuff. I love it because it often comes with tempura, which is also great.

I love sashimi as well - I'm honestly a huge fan of raw fish in general and usually prefer to to cooked fish.

And speaking of raw meat in general - I also love something called basashi. It's kind of a famous local cuisine around where I live.

Though this type of meat CAN be cooked, I prefer it raw. It's horse! It's horsemeat.

I'm also a fan of nameko soup because I love mushrooms. Most Americans would probably hate this because of the runny texture, though.

As for the fluffy pancakes you mentioned....

I gotta admit, I'm not a huge fan of them. 😅

I've eaten them before in cafes and they're kinda overhyped in my opinion. They're just very airy pancakes. They're not especially different, they're just more fluff than substance in my opinion, and eating them was akin to eating plain white cake with a few strawberries on top.

Then again, I may be biased because when I make pancakes, I like to not cook them all the way through so they stay gooey in the center....

So maybe other people who really love fluffy cake would love them! Who knows. Make up your minds, I guess.
