Dining With the Chef

The theme for this episode is simmering. Okara is a byproduct of making tofu, an iconic Japanese ingredient. Chef Saito and Yu Hayami use okara and plenty of dashi, simmered together to make the popular dish unohana-ni. By adding richly flavorful ingredients to the bland okara, they make a healthy and delicious side that goes perfectly with rice. They also make roasted teriyaki chicken wings - a quick and easy dish to prepare while the unohana-ni simmers.
