Wow, I need to try this.I usually just dump the soy sauce on top usually.

 

[mimicking]

this is sweet and wonderful x3 makes me feel all warm and nice on the inside ~~ and indeed, this food is amazing! my mom used to make it for me all the time ~~

 

[asphaltus]

you rule, fatguy.

 

[mochi]

you should cook eggs, but lovely chapter, lovely art and mood

@mochi the egg is cured in soy sauce, the salt slowly "cooks" the egg yolk. It's mostly safe to eat. It's the same concept as cured meat/sausages. But if you're still afraid (rightfully so, DIY curing can be a little bit scary) you can just heat it up again in a frying pan or in a microwave if it's hard enough.

This little plump dude needs to start dating the lady from Wakako-zake. All they do would be to meet each other to eat at tasty restaurants and go home.

@naeon as far as I know, marinading only provides the texture of cooked food, it doesn't kill bacteria. With fish you can safely pull it off by deep-freezing the fish for 2 days before use, but obviously not with eggs. The good news is that store-bought eggs from reputable brands are rarely affected by salmonella etc; definitely don't do this recipe with farmer's eggs.
As for cured meat, suffice to say that many people who do homemade salami (with wild boar) end up with larvae in their guts and a trip to the hospital; and anyway it's a different kind of preparation.

 

[naeon]

@mochi soy sauce have high sodium content. So it is safe to say that egg is cured. Marinade shouldn't harden the thing you're marinating, which is why it's usually watered down salt with a bunch of stuff in it. In recipes, marinating is sometime used to describe the act of submerging ingredients in general.
But yeah curing isn't something you should do if you haven't learn it properly, since a lot of factors goes into it (room temp, humidity, type of ingredients, and etc). A lot of people usually learn it halfway and end up being food poisoned. Cooking in itself isn't guaranteed to be 100% free from any risk.

@mochi No thank, I like eating raw eggs. Different from US, eggs in Japan are safe to eat raw. A common dish is Tamago kake gohan. FYI, I get tired of people who act like the end of the world is coming when seeing others eat raw foods. When we eat them, we already know that the foods are safe. In Japan, raw A5 beef and raw horse meat are delicacy.

 

[mochi]

@miyako19 I don't claim that raw food is unsafe, but that it's not worth the risk unless I can be absolutely sure it's safe; I can recall many cases of people getting nasty bugs from sushi served by restaurants that skimped on the correct procedures to make raw fish safe.

 

[unime]

The author got me damn it!

IIRC, eggs in the USA and Japan are pasteurized. The egg itself is safe but the shell might have bad bacteria on it, so if you want to be safe you can just wash the egg. That said, the standard advice is to not eat uncooked foods if you have a compromised immune system or pregnant.
A good alternative might be to eat a onsen egg or softboiled egg over your rice. (Onsen egg is a softboiled egg that has been cooked at a low temperature for a long time.)

 

[Pokari]

I wasn't sure what "yo▅" was going to be but I definitely wasn't expecting "yolk".

Well played. What even was that before translation...? o.o

 

[strawmushroom]

Translator here. The original chapter title was “Kimi to no Deai wa” which roughly means “A Rendezvous with Kimi”. Normally “kimi” means “you”...but coincidentally it can also mean “egg yolk”. (● u ●)/

Glad so many of you are enjoying this manga!

 

[Bladestone]

Store bought eggs in the USA are pasteurized so they are safe to eat raw for the most part. If you ever eat them cooked but with runny yolks you are probably running just as much risk as this recipe.

 

[elefantine97]

I've tried marinating quite a few things in soy sauce, mirin, scallion roots, and sugar and they usually turn out great.
Just don't go over 3 days, it'll be really salty.

 

[maisai]

Hakata torimon pastries!!! Now I want some....

 

[Tikibo]

Lol, people getting mad about raw yolk when it's normal to eat gogl-mogl (or whatever they call it in other countries) in some parts of Europe... especially for a sore throat. Don't compare making cured meat from wild animals to this.

 

[CyanHide]

Not gonna lie, I was fooled where that was going
