[Click here for easy recipes and purchases! ] Introducing the best 3 items using the all-purpose Chinese seasoning “Yui WEY-WEY”!

Masaki Masugi, the director of the popular YouTube drama "Oyaji Camp Meal", went on a one-day trip to unique Chinese restaurants in Kyoto looking for hints for the next drama in the June/July issue of Leaf magazine. At one of the places he visited, Private Sumiyoshi, he hit it off with chef Sumiyoshi and started making seasonings. After making many prototypes and comparing them, the final result was “WEY-WEY,” which means a one-of-a-kind flavor. A unique blend of fermented foods such as doubanjiang, doubanjiang, oyster sauce, garlic, soy sauce, and sugar, it contains all of the umami, saltiness, sweetness, spiciness, and bitterness.
This time, we will reveal recommended dishes and recipes that can be easily prepared at home or while camping!

point
The key is to boil the chicken thighs while preparing. After that, it is fried until crispy, but the inside is very juicy.


Finely chop the white onions and ginger, and cut the Chinese cabbage, komatsuna, bamboo shoots, and fried fish into pieces about 2cm wide. Boil water in a pot and boil chicken thighs cut into bite-sized pieces. Boil for about 1 minute, then drain in a colander and mix with soy sauce in a bowl to season.

Add Chinese cabbage, komatsuna, shimeji mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and fried rice and stir-fry. Add water and chicken stock and bring to a boil.

3. Steam it! Grilled white fish and vermicelli in foil

Grilled white fish and vermicelli in foil

[Ingredients (for 2 people)]
・Sea bream/2 slices
・Vermicelli/80g
・Enoki/60g
・Lemon (slice) / 4 pieces
・WEYWEY/20g
・Soy sauce/a little
・Salt/a little

point
If you're in a hurry, you can omit blanching the vermicelli to make it more palatable. If you don't want to steam it in a pot, you can warm it up in a toaster.


Make cuts in the sea bream and season lightly with salt. Soak the vermicelli in water and set aside. Boil water in a pot and quickly blanch the enoki mushrooms and vermicelli. ←It will have a better texture, but if you are in a hurry, you don't need to boil it.


Apply sesame oil all over the aluminum foil, place the vermicelli and enoki mushrooms, and then place the sea bream on top. Spread the WEYWEY all over the sea bream and garnish with lemon.


Align the back and front parts of the aluminum foil and fold them back so there are no gaps. Transfer the wrapped foil to a frying pan, add 100cc of water, cover and heat over low heat for about 10 minutes.
