No need to wash after cooking
料理(りょうり)の後(あと)洗(あら)う必要(ひつよう)なし

After the big earthquake occurred in Japan on March 11th, I didn’t have running water for about two weeks and it was really inconvenient.
3月11日(さんがつじゅういちにち)大地震(おおじしん)の後(あと)、約二週間(やくにしゅうかん)断水(だんすい)でした。それはとても不便(ふべん)でした。

I gave up cooking for a while but I found a good way to cook.
しばらく料理(りょうり)することを諦(あきら)めていましたが、よい料理方法(りょうりほうほう)を見(み)つけました。

I’d like to give you a recipe for chicken dish with no need to wash the pot after cooking and I hope it would be useful for you too.
料理(りょうり)の後(あと)鍋(なべ)を洗(あら)わなくてもよい鶏肉料理(とりにくりょうり)を紹介(しょうかい)します。お役(やく)に立(た)てたら光栄(こうえい)です。

What you need:
One chicken breast
Two tablespoons of soy sauce
Two tablespoons of sake or wine
Two tablespoons of sugar
One tablespoon of water
One re-sealable zipper storage bag(e.g. Ziplock Bag)

How to cook:
1.Get chicken out of the refrigerator and leave it at room temperature. I recommend you take chicken skin away.
2.Boil plenty of water in a big pan, turn the stove off, and wait for about five minutes with the top on the pot.
3.While waiting, mix all the seasoning in a re-sealable zipper storage bag, soak the chicken in the seasoning, and keep the air out closing from edge to edge.
4.Put the bag in the pot and leave it in the covered pot for twenty five minutes. You don’t need to turn the stove on.
5.Take the bag out of the pot, let it cool in room temperature and serve it as you please.

Please try also to season only with salt instead of what I suggested above. I’m sure you will like it.

When you want to save some water to wash your hands before and after cooking, you can use two plastic bags as a pair of gloves. This is what I did during water outage.

用意(ようい)するもの:
鶏(とり)の胸肉(むねにく)
しょう油(ゆ) 大(おお)さじ2杯(にはい)
酒(さけ)またはワイン 大さじ2杯
砂糖(さとう) 大さじ2杯
水(みず) 大さじ1杯(いっぱい)
密封(みっぷう)バッグ(例えばジップロックなど)

作(つく)り方(かた):
1.鶏肉(とりにく)を冷蔵庫(れいぞうこ)から出(だ)し、常温(じょうおん)に戻(もど)す。鶏肉の皮(かわ)は取(と)り除(のぞ)くことをお勧(すす)めします。
2.大(おお)きめの鍋(なべ)にたっぷりのお湯(ゆ)を沸(わ)かします。火(ひ)を消(け)し、蓋(ふた)をしたまま5分(ごふん)ほど置(お)きます。
3.待(ま)っている間(あいだ)に、すべての調味料(ちょうみりょう)を密封(みっぷう)バッグに入(い)れて混(ま)ぜ、鶏肉(とりにく)を漬(つ)け込(こ)み、空気(くうき)を抜(ぬ)いて閉(と)じます。
4.鍋(なべ)の中(なか)にバッグを入(い)れ、蓋(ふた)をして25分間(にじゅうごふんかん)放置(ほうち)します。火(ひ)をつける必要(ひつよう)はありません。
5.鍋(なべ)からバッグを取(と)り出(だ)し、室温(しつおん)で冷(さ)まして、お好(す)きなように盛(も)り付(つ)けてください。

私(わたし)が提案(ていあん)した調味料(ちょうみりょう)の代(か)わりに塩(しお)だけでもお試(ため)しください。きっと気(き)にいると思(おも)います。

料理(りょうり)の前(まえ)と後(あと)で手(て)を洗(あら)う分(ぶん)の水(みず)を節約(せつやく)したい方は、二枚(にまい)のビニール袋(びにーるぶくろ)を手袋(てぶくろ)のようにして使(つか)うことが出来(でき)ます。断水(だんすい)の間(あいだ)、私はそうしていました。

Similar to how I marinate my chicken sometimes before cooking ^^ Yummy ^o^

Thank you for your corrections Melitu-san! I'd love to hear your recipe ^^ The chicken is really tender when it is cooked in this way. I also cooked a loaf of porc in the same way but I put the porc back in the pot twice to avoid the porc to get half-cooked. I like this cooking method very much. Please try it one day ^^

Before stir-frying, I will marinate the chicken with the same seasonings: soy sauce (usually "lite" version though), wine, and sometimes also sugar. I don't measure though ^^; Oh, and I also put a little cornstarch; it helps keep the chicken tender ^^

Without any water at all, you could wrap your marinated chicken in foil and bake in it the oven. I haven't tried it, but I'm sure it would come out yummy, too. I know the oven isn't used much in Japanese cooking though ^^;

Thank you for your recipe! I also use lite soy sauce :) I only use the oven for baking cakes and cookies ^^; but I want to try it! Thank you Melitu-san!

Hi Nana-san!
I like rice balls very much because it's simple to make but yet yummy (*^_^*)

Do you like cury and rice? Please add these seasonins to your cury recipe:
Please fry garlic and ginger before meat.
one tablespoon of miso
two tblspoons of ketchup
one tblspoon of Worcestershire sauce
two teaspoons of soy sauce
one or two tblespoons of vinegar
two tblspoons of Parmesan cheese(add it at the last five minutes of cooking)
200ml tomato juice instead of the water out of quantity of the water called for in your cury recipe(この英語には自信がないf^^;分量の水の内、200mlはトマトジュースを使用します。トマトジュースは水と一緒に入れて煮込んでください)

Please adjust the seasonings as you like ^^

Hi, Mari-san!
Wow, I've never heard of that! I cannot imagine how it'll taste if I add miso, vineger and fried ginger. ^^;
If I have enough courage to do so, I might try it. ^^;
味噌や酢を加えるなんて、初めて聞きました! *@0@*
いつか勇気を出して、トライしてみたいとおもいます(多分)♪ ^^

きいたあなあいい!!!

:P

I'm glad you're okay, even with all the earthquakes. It must be tough having to invent new ways of cooking.

添削、どうもありがとう!お礼が遅くなってごめんね(T_T)子供が二人とも病気をしていました(><)

>きいたあなあいい!!!
You can get used to it! :p うそ。病気になるよxD

料理は楽しいけど水が使えないという制限は辛かった。この世で一番価値のある資源は金より水だ!
