Everyday Harumi

Miso Soup with Sesame and Tofu : page 133

There are many excellent variations on this recipe; almost every Japanese housewife has her own secret tip for making this everyday dish. Kurihara recommends tearing the tofu into pieces by hand instead of using a knife; the resulting tofu is indeed more flavorful. Cooks should pay special attention when toasting the sesame seeds for the sesame paste as the seeds burn very easily.

Rice with Soy-flavored Pork and Carrots : page 90

Kurihara's recipe is quite excellent without modifications. Braising the carrots results in this oddly crispy but extremely delicious texture. It works exceedingly well as a rice dish.
