Japanese people love dashi. Also love soy sauce.Ohitashi is a dish in which cooked vegetables are soaked in a sauce made of dashi and soy sauce.
Ohitashi can be made with a variety of vegetables. For example, spinach. And there are many ways to cook ohitashi. Nibitashi is a dish of boiled vegetables, and yaki-bitashi is a dish of grilled vegetables. This is a recipe for yaki-bitashi.
In Finland, I make it with Japanese eggplants and green peppers, which are available from spring to autumn. And mentsuyu is home-made.
Cut eggplant, zucchini, and red pepper into thin strips about 5 cm long.
Cut several slits in the green pepper (*1).
Add half of the sesame oil to a frying pan and heat over medium heat.
Add eggplant and zucchini and saute well, letting the oil soak in.
When the eggplant and zucchini are nearly cooked, add the remaining sesame oil and add the green pepper and sweet red pepper.
Stir-fry until browned.
Add all seasonings (*2) to the pan.
Bring to a boil and turn off the heat.
Leave for about 10 minutes to let the seasoning soak in (*3).
NOTES
*1Although green peppers can be eaten with their seeds, it is difficult to soak up the flavor if they are left as they are, so make slits in them. For more information about green peppers, sweet red peppers, and paprika, please refer to this article.
