rangiri cucumber yuzu salad: a lazy sunomono

19/03/2018 by Chris

When I’m pushed for time and need an extra vegetable dish, this rangiri cucumber yuzu salad is the recipe I turn to most often. Essentially a cucumber sunomono (vinegared salad), it provides a nice splash of acidity and colour alongside fish, chicken, rice or miso soup. Rangiri or ‘random-cut’ refers to the chopping technique, or rather the visual effect it creates. It’s actually not random – or complicated – in the slightest. Read on for all the info and a few ideas for variations!

roasted broccoli with ponzu shoyu

29/11/2016 by Chris

Today I’d like to share a cheat’s version of a sauce that’s quite hard to find ready-made in the UK: ponzu shōyu (ポン酢醤油). It’s a great match for umami vegetables like broccoli, as well as more classical fish or tofu applications.
