Hello! I’m Laika, a writer who recently started writing a diary. The contents of my diary tend to be what I eat every day. Yesterday it was rice with hashed meat.
So, everyone, what are you going to do for dinner tonight? The main dish is ready! And, aren’t you worried about side dishes?
“Considering nutrition… Considering color balance… What should I do already? I can’t even think of how to combine the main dish with the side dishes!
I would like to recommend to you a super easy way to make a meal! A dish that gets compliments! Here are 5 side dishes for you to choose from. They are quick to prepare and colorful when you are in need of one more dish. You can make them quickly and colorfully, and you can leave them on the table for later.
Boiled Eggs -Super easy and quick side dish! Can be made and left over!
(1) Boil an egg
I like mine half-boiled, so I boil it half-boiled.
(2) Peel the shells and put them in a Ziploc
Then pour in the mentsuyu! The amount of mentsuyu should be just enough to cling to the eggs when the Ziploc is as airless as possible!
If you put the mentsuyu in the Ziploc while the eggs are still warm from boiling, the flavor will soak in easily by osmosis as the eggs cool down, making the cooking time shorter!
(3) Wait a little longer and it’s done!
Cut in half and place on serving plate, the yellow yolk will brighten up your table! And the nutritional value is great too, high in protein and low in calories! Who doesn’t like boiled eggs?
*A small amount of men-tsuyu is added undiluted, so you only need a small amount!
The mentsuyu is thick, so it soaks in quickly!
You can make a big batch and keep it for later!
Boiled eggs are a favorite of dieters, and this side dish is perfect for when you are hungry because you only need to add mentsuyu to a Ziploc and the boiled eggs are ready to serve. It is also useful as a leftover dish. You can serve it on ramen noodles, on salads, by itself, or with kakuni. A short dish that can play a role in any situation, it’s worth remembering!
Bean Sprouts Namul -Super easy and quick side dish! Can be made and left over!
(1) Heat in microwave
Open the bag of bean sprouts you bought a little and microwave them as is for 3 minutes.
(2) Wash in cold water
After dinging, open in a colander and rinse in cold water.
(3) Sprinkle salt
Shake the colander to drain as much water as possible, sprinkle with salt, and leave it for a while. Prepare a plate and chopsticks.
When you sprinkle salt on the bean sprouts, they will release some of their water! Leave it for that!
(4) Seasoning
When you’re done letting it sit properly, drain as much water as possible, put it in a Tupperware, sprinkle with hawkweed and sesame oil, put the Tupperware lid on and shake!
(5) Completed!
An excellent, all-purpose side dish that’s super easy to make! It’s even better with a dash of vinegar on top!
Serve what you are going to eat and leave what you are not going to eat in the fridge. Less dishes to wash!
The red color of the hawk’s claw adds color to the table, and the endless supply of tangy bean sprout namul goes well with any main dish.
Salted olives with tofu–super easy and quick side dish! Great with any dish!!! -Juliette
(1) Drain water
Drain the tofu as much as possible.
(2) Seasoning
Sprinkle with salt and olive oil just before eating.
(3) Completed!
If you put salt on it and leave it, the water will drain out, so it is best to do it right before you eat it.
You can also put basil on it or sprinkle it on top.
Usually tofu is served with soy sauce, but if you know the variation of salted olives, you can use it with Western-style dishes, so it’s worth knowing! It’s a simple, quick and easy dish that is sure to get you compliments.
These three are pretty useful if you remember them, so give them a try!
