[Tsukiji Recreation Series No. 1] Spring soup


Hello. It's Hanes, an active correspondent ^^*
Last year, I wrote articles in various series on correspondent blogs.
And now, two months later this year, we will start a new series with fullness.
The name is "Tsukiji Reservoir Cooking Reproduction Series"!

In this series, based on the recipes published in Koji Nomura's "Cooking Recipe of Tsukiji Reserve: Missionary Madame Perry 126" (Seifudo Bookstore, 2017), we will try to make dishes that would have been eaten at Tsukiji Reserve.
However, I would like to introduce Tsukiji's shops by procuring some of the ingredients in Tsukiji, not just cooking.

However, the creator is a lot of self-style creative dishes (laughs).
We are making arrangements as appropriate while being conscious of following the recipe, so we hope you can see it with warm eyes.

About Missionary Madam Perry

Madame Perry...There are only a few historical materials that tell her about her....
However, there was surprise and discovery.

The details are not clear, but according to a record document remaining at Rikkyo University (annual activity report of 1891 and 1893 addressed to the head of the Japanese missionary missionary of the Holy Public Society), she said she lived in Tsukiji Reservation No. 5 in 1891.
He lived with the sisters of Ann and Fannie, but it remains unclear which one is Madame Perry.

However, based on the story of the descendants of Takaharu Nomura (described later) who learned cooking with Madame Perry, she is known to be a relative of Perry, famous for her black ship!
Perry's brother was the chief priest of the American Church, and his sisters came to Japan with their relatives in the early Meiji era and operated the Bible School.

By the way, in this recipe, a chef and servant, Takaharu Nomura (former samurai from Shinshu), who lived and worked in the house of Perry sisters who had been conducting missionary work, wrote down the recipe of Madame Perry. Cooking Guidebook "is based on
Madame Perry is believed to have given him recipes in easy-to-understand English and unfamiliar Japanese based on a cookbook published in the United States.
And in later research, it is believed that the recipes included in the cookbook were mainly French cuisine, which was popular in the United States at the time.

This time, I would like to introduce "spring soup" that can be easily made from such recipes.

Spring soup: Materials and how to make

■Materials
・A green beans (raw French beans)
・A little redeci* footnote: Lettuce here.
・Two onions
・Pepper
・Batter ten momme
・Three egg yolks
・Soup hachigo
・A little water

Because it is difficult to obtain raw French beans (green) for cooking this time, we used Daifuku beans (Ofukume and White Genme beans), which are also used in regional cuisine Kasle in southwestern France.
The recipe also describes how to make soup (stock), but it is difficult to procure ingredients and it takes time and effort, so use consommé soup.
Also, depending on my personal preference, I tried to make olive oil instead of butter.

(* The actual amount does not match the material in the photo.)


■How to make it
Redesi is not necessary to use it *, it is finely squeezed by hand, cut into other items finely, boiled for 45 minutes, and stir well with eggs.
*Footnote: Knife

That's all!
When you are used to modern polite recipes, "Do you cut beans finely?" There are various questions, "When can butter be put in?"
Lettuce faithfully "grained finely with hand" in the way of making it, but I tried the following arrangements and ideas.

・Soak the beans in water in advance. Since it is not raw beans, use whole rice without cutting it finely.
・Shorten the boiling time and steam.
・Lettuce is not boiled for a long time, but put just before it is ready.

At first glance, I was confused about how to make it, but it was easy to arrange it in my own style because there were no detailed instructions. ^
I don't know what kind of soup would be right, but as a result I made it.

While leaving a moderate crunchy feeling in the lettuce, the sweetness of the onion that had been boiled for a long time was good, and it became so soft that it melts.
The essential beans waited for them to be prepared, carefully, carefully, and patiently softened, so they were just right.
It became a mellow soup that can be enjoyed without conflicting with the different textures of each ingredient.
Personally, it is recommended to sprinkle more pepper after serving ^^

Mameya Sanei Shokai in Tsukiji

By the way, this time, I asked for the procurement of Daifuku beans (white beans) was Sanei Shokai, a wholesaler specializing in beans and cereals, which has been in business for 70 years.
In addition to store sales at Tsukiji Outer Market, we also sell a variety of beans online.
There are a lot of beans that I don't usually see in supermarkets, so I was interested in watching!

Tsukiji also has products that can be used as souvenirs in the package, as well as beans sold by purveyors.
And the reason why I recommend this shop is that not only the beans themselves, but also the information about bean dishes is substantial ^^

Unless you're not a chef or a doctor of beans, you'll encounter beans that you're not familiar with at the store.
In such a case, please talk to the shop.
Please tell me the recommended bean recipes and cooking methods carefully*.

On the other hand, if you are worried, "I want to try bean dishes but don't know what to start with." Why don't you check Sanei Shokai's Instagram?
The recipe is also posted here, so there is a lot of pattern of choosing the beans used for the dishes you care about with your eyes!

Since ancient times, it has been said that beans are good for the body, but the nutrients, effects and effects vary depending on the color.
This white beans contain calcium and dietary fiber, which is good for obesity control and beauty.
Madame Perry's recipe also includes other bean dishes, so I'd like to cook with different colored beans next time.
