Nasu miso (eggplants panfried with miso and other seasonings) is a favorite of my wife's. In fact, it's one of her gohan no tomo (rice's companion). The nasu miso shown in the photo contains ginger, too, and is seasoned with miso, sugar, and mirin.
なす味噌は妻の好物の一つ。「ご飯の友」です。写真に載せたのは、生姜も入っていて、味噌、砂糖、みりんで味付けしたものです。
What is a gohan no tomo exactly? It looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteTypical examples are pickles like takuan and shibazuke, tsukudani, and furikake. A gohan no tomo is what you eat with a bowl of rice (usually piping hot), and you like the combination so much that you could almost say, "If I had this and piping hot rice, then I wouldn't want anything else!"
ReplyDeleteAsk a Japanese friend, and he/she may talk feverishly about his/her gohan no tomo.
