Meat, fish, tofu, and eggs — understanding protein in Japanese cooking.
🥢 1 Ingredient
Protein is handled with precision in Japanese cooking. Learn how different proteins respond to heat, salt, and acid.
Did you know?
Traditional Japanese cuisine uses more types of protein per meal than most world cuisines — fish, tofu, egg, and sometimes meat in a single kaiseki course.
Pro Tip
Salt protein 20 minutes before cooking — this draws out moisture, which you pat dry, resulting in better browning.
