Here is an episode that was aired last month. One of my absolute faves!
Chicken Tatsuta Age and Spinach Ohitashi!
The chicken is lightly coated with potato starch and then deep fried. It is perfect in Bento boxed lunches, because it is good even when it gets cold. And I learned how to finally make the ultimate boiled spinach Ohitashi. Chef Saito said to make sure the spinach is completely cooled down in the cold water after blanching it to ensure it stops the cooking, and for color. Here, he added some chrysanthemum petals, adding a beauitful color to the spinach. A must try!
If you missed it you can watch it on video on demand.
Dining with the chef is aired around the world on NHK WORLD channel!
