Mushroom saute and arrangement recipe to make with children

As an example of cooking using shiitake mushrooms"Sautéed mushrooms"I'd like to introduce_______

Children get tired of cooking for a long time, but sautéed mushrooms are recommended as the first dish to try because they require less work and are completed quickly.

 

【material】

  • Several types of mushrooms such as shiitake mushrooms (If you think the knife is dangerous, prepare a pre-cut one)
  • Butter (appropriate amount)
  • Salt and pepper (appropriate amount)
  • Soy sauce (appropriate amount)

 

There are some points.

  • Shiitake mushrooms are thick and taut and fresh. Choose one that does not discolor the bulk.
  • If you have several kinds of mushrooms, you can enjoy the taste and texture, and it will look gorgeous. I often use shiitake mushrooms, shimeji mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, king trumpet mushrooms, and maitake mushrooms.
  • For hygiene, wash the shiitake mushrooms with water. Also, make sure to cook it well. Detailed explanationThis articlePlease refer to.

 

【procedure】

  1. Remove the shiitake mushrooms and cut them into pieces that are easy to eat.You can also split shimeji mushrooms and king trumpet mushrooms by hand.
  2. Warm the frying pan, melt the butter, and fry the mushrooms on medium heat.When it becomes soft, sprinkle with salt and pepper.Adults should take a look at the heat and the streets of fire.
  3. Serve on a plate and sprinkle with soy sauce as you like.

The umami of mushrooms and the flavor of butter that spreads slowly are combined to make it the most delicious.Use salt and pepper sparingly so that you can adjust the taste later with soy sauce.Both adults and children can eat with their favorite taste.

What I want to be careful about is the handling of kitchen knives and fire. ShiitakeBecause the material is soft, I used a knife instead of a kitchen knife. bladeIt is a knife that is jagged and hard to cut even if it hits your finger.

Regarding fire, we will cook while explaining how to handle the gas stove, how to adjust the heat, and where the frying pan gets hot.While watching overLet's support children so that they can cook independently.

 

Mushroom saute practice report

Here is a report from the person who actually made the mushroom saute.

I am a mother of two children with a daughter in the sixth grade of elementary school and a son in the third grade.It was the first sautéed mushroom cooked by her daughter using fire.
Mushrooms are easy to cook and I liked her daughter, so I chose this dish as my first dish using fire.
I was afraid of burns, so I held the frying pan with my child at first, but as I got used to it, I was told, "Don't hold my mom," and I watched over while screaming (laughs).
It was a great experience for her daughter to know the joy of cooking and eating herself, and she is now trying different dishes.
When I'm tired from work, her daughter stands in the kitchen and she still makes it.
