"Incka style miso soup" with white corn behaved in Peru

Speaking of Peru, it is a historic country that flourished in the past by the Inca Empire, but in Lima, the capital of Peru, we made miso soup with potatoes originating in Inca and originating in Andes.

Hello!World newspaperA special reporterMiya Yatabeis. Over a year and a half have passed since I traveled around the world while acting on miso soup. I am in Peru, South America now.

◆ Reason to behave miso soup
Miso soup is "Japanese taste of mumsuku" for Japanese people. I want people of the world to eat this, I want to know more about Japan! It is the plan that started based on the idea that it is. As before13 countries in the worldI acted miso soup with.

About Peru
Wikipedia's articles in PeruAccording to "It was the center of the Inca Empire (Tawantin · Suuyu), which was one of the largest empires of the time in the world until the 16th century, since many ancient civilizations flourished from the beginning of BC" and traveling in Peru, I can not help feeling the transience.

I will make miso soup for this person
This time to eat is a Peruvian davit who lives in Lima 's capital and twin sisters who are its cousins. This time I looked for an encounter for a once-a-lifetime meeting on the Internet.


Couch surfingDo you know the Internet service called? As if to travel "surfing" a "couch (chaise)", travelers can saved by having them stay at a host's sofa, etc., and the host has the advantage of meeting travelers It is a matching site between travelers and hosts. You can use it not only for accommodation but also for when you want to make tea, for example by making friends on a trip.

I sent a message to Mr. David living in Peru / Lima found by couch surfing, "I am Japanese, I would like to act on miso soup, will you meet me?" What a reply OK! I bought miso and went to see him soon!

◆ Food culture in Peru
The motto when making miso soup during a trip is to understand the food culture of the country as much as possible. By knowing what is being eaten it is possible to get a step closer to miso soup which people in the country think are "delicious". Let's introduce Peru's foods you experienced by traveler's perspective!

The geography of Peru has a mountain, there is a sea, There is an Amazon, there is a change in the ingredients, it is influenced by the cooking of various countries such as Spain, China, Japan, and it seems to be refined. It seems that Peruvian food culture is gaining attention from all over the world.

· Meat · Onion · Stir-fried tomato "Romito Al Fugo"
The photo is Romito Al Fugo for breakfast. Seasoning like the herb and Worcester sauce goes well with beef, onion and tomatoes. For lunch, we often eat it in white rice with an amount about 3 times.


· Marinated seafood "Ceviche"
It is seasoned with onions, lemon, herbs, peppers such as ahi, salt. They are widely eaten in South American countries facing the Atlantic Ocean. It is an appetizer and a knob. A personal hobby is pretty huge in terms of personal preference.


· Boiled potatoes and cheese sauce "Papa Ala Winkai"
The sauce to be cooked on boiled potatoes is made up of fresh cheese and red peppers called Ahi, a mortar blended by a blender, and a trot. I will eat it as an appetizer.

There are countless kinds of soups, but here are celery, carrots, garlic, chicken, corn soup. If you like, eat it with lime or red pepper.

Here is the beer which fermented white maize. Other commonly not containing alcohol or juice called Chicha Molada made of purple corn is common.

· Quinoa's beverages
Quinoa has various uses such as corn, but here is a sweetened drink with sugar. It is a mysterious taste as a droid, but it is also somewhat fruity and juice.


◆ I will make this miso soup!
Now, it is not just miso soup to eat this time. First of all, I'd like to put the historic corn and potatoes grown in Inca as rumbling! And since there is a culture to eat fish in Peru, I would like to seriously soup with dried bonito flakes. I will add more rice cake. Mochi was a present from a Japanese friend at the end of last year and put it for the important thing to eat at the beginning of the year. Let's have a little New Year feeling with me who has not been having a kitchen celebrating New Year at traveling destination! That's why.

◆ Buy to the market
It is this residential area that is 30 minutes away from the center of Lima in the city bus by Davit's house. I will go buy it in the market right next to my house.


In Peru 's market there are many forms where small shops are building aggregations.


I bought corn, potatoes, onions, carrots, onion!


◆ Start making miso soup
Let's make it at once. This is the kitchen. It is contemporary.


This corn, which is whiter than the Japanese corn and has large grain. I did not understand how to handle it, I tried fruit fingers for the time being, but I finally cut it off with a kitchen knife.


I finished cutting other vegetables.


This is a bonito flavor and a bonito cutting machine which the bonito shop of Nishi Izu gave us. The way to cut is currently being trained. Truly authentic bonito flavor is a good scent.


Put some root crops where you got soup.


Continue to put in corn and green onions.


And here is a mochi of example. The time has come to cut the waiting wait!


I cut the rice cake in half and made it easy to eat.


I am consuming dozens of kilometers on my trip so far,Echigo Nagaoka Miso brewing Tabana misois. It is a rice-flavored miso with a natural flavor. Let's melt this!


Both vegetables and rice cakes are soft and good feeling!


Completion of brilliant collaboration of corn, potatoes, and Japanese bonito, miso, and rice cakes that are transmitted to Incas.


Impressions
Miso soup seemed to be delicious. Mr. Davit liked it and said, "Miso is tasty not eaten so far, but it is very tasty, it is really tasty and it tells the taste of the fish of the soup properly" he said.


Actually, I was showing a bonito flavor before cooking. "Is this a tree," David said. I finally tried eating miso soup, it appeared convinced by the flavor produced by bonito flavor.


Mr. Davit's cousin, Ms. Marianella and Diana sister, also drunk without juice. And I seemed to love corn, "I'm delighted that" Choclo (maize thing!) Choclo! " Indeed, unlike corn to eat in Japan, large grains are pretty rich and slightly sweet, it also fits miso soup!


Flowers bloom in the story, David taught us. "There are lots of healthy food in Peru, it is really not good to eat rice, potatoes and bread, eat each meal with cola, etc. Forgetting the existence of cheaply available traditional food That's it.


Apparently healthy miso soup seems to have liked everyone.

However, I thought that everyone will be pleased with the mochi waiting for waiting since the New Year's .... It did not work. Marianella screamed for rice cake that came in her mouth suddenly and was laughing, "It was delicious except for chewing gum like rice."
