Kanpyō (dried gourd strips)A* 1 tbsp. Mirin (sweet Sake)* 2 tbsp. Sake* 3 tbsp. sugar4 tbsp. soy sauceDirections:1. Clean each Kombu with moistened towel. Soak in 800ml water for 5 minutes. Save the water.2. Wash Kanpyō, rub 1/2 tbsp. of salt on Kanpyō (to remove bad smell and cook tender), then wash and drain well.3. Cut salmon into about 0.7-inch-wide strips.4. Place a salmon strip on the end of the Kombu close to you and roll securely. Wrap a strip of Kanpyō round the Kombu roll for 2 times (not too tight but not too loose), make double knot, then trim off the uneven ends. You may want to tie up 2 or 3 places.5. In a large pot, place the rolls without overlapping each other. Pour the reserved soaking water just until it barely covers the ingredients. Bring to a boil, then remove the foam if necessary.6. Add A, turn the heat down to low, cover with Otoshibuta (drop lid), and cook for 30 minutes.7. Add soy sauce, cook on low for another 30 minutes until the cooking liquid is almost absorbed.8. Turn off the heat. Leave to cool in the pot. Cut into 2 or 3 pieces.You can store in the fridge for a week :)↓レシピ(日本語)http://cooklabo.blogspot.jp/2013/12/blog-post_28.html---------------------------------Music byEpidemic SoundSakura Dreams 6FYI (products I used in my videos):http://www.amazon.co.jp/lm/R3VVDX7JZ5GYJE/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=247&creative=7399&linkCode=ur2&tag=shopping072-22♥Original T-SHIRTS♥http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFsQE0qd_4w♥Visit my Blog to know more about ME♥http://createeathappy.blogspot.com/♥My Recipe Posts in Japanese♥http://cooklabo.blogspot.jp/http://cookpad.com/amihttp://twitter.com/alohaforever♥and of course SUBSCRIBE♥http://www.youtube.com/ochikeron
