I copied this recipe from the web some years ago. I was going
to get my nephew to help me translate it as he studied Japanese
all through grade school. However, he never gets around to it
so I thought I'd give y'all a try. :-) Anyone know any Japanese?

It's odd that they had the translations for the title and the
ingredients but not for the directions. Anyway, here it is.
Just going by the title it sounds yummy.

I know nothing about Japanese, but I tried plugging in a couple of
paragraphs into an online translator with surprising results. The
translation was identical to the original text!

Weird, huh?

No, but I have a translator; drop me a line if you need him
and I'll talk to him for you...

It is written you have to boil the potatoes and add the dressing!
Here is a free translation. The amount of water is not specified...



JYAGAIMO NO SENGIRI NO AMAZU ZUKE (Potato Cut into Fine Strips, Sweet
Vinegar Soak)

Category: Japanese|Potatoes

Ingredients:
A:
2 large potatoes
B:
1/2 cup rice vinegar
water
1 red pepper
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon light soy sauce

Preparation:
(1) Put ingredients B in a pan and bring shortly to a boil until the
ingredients are dissolved. Remove then from heat.

(2) Peel the potatoes, cut in julienne with a vegetable cutter, soak in
water.

(3) Bring the potatoes to a boil in a lot of water until they become
translucent. Drain in a colander. Add the dressing from (1) while still
warm. Let cool.

(recipe=ryori: Ooba Hideko san)
(book=hon: kurashi to kenko kara sansyo)

It seems that it can be eaten after 2 to 3 hours and that it is also
good to accompany meat. It is a healthy and simple side dish! Low in
salt. I hope you will like it!

Yeah, I tried that, too. Spent all day trying to find
a translation engine that would translate from Roman characters.
They all seem to translate from Kanji characters. Finally
found one that translated from Romaji and it only translated
every 6th or 7th word! That was helpful. Not. :-)

Thanks! That's great! I thought about trying to figure
out what to do just by looking at the ingredients. I never
would have guessed about boiling the dressing ingredients.
It might still have been good but this is better. I'll have
to try it soon. I've had it sitting around for over 5 years!

Kate,

I think personally that boiling the dressing is an heresy. The rice
vinegar will loose its quality if you let it boil. I would just heat it
enough to dissolve the sugar.

I have been ignoring this thread cause i have no ability with or
knowledge of the Japanese language, but to day my browser opened up on
this thread and upon reading it, it seems to me, given the ingredients
list, that it is probable that the potatoes are boiled in the water then
the rest of the ingredients mixed together to form a sauce and marinade
in which to toss the cut up potatoes & pepper. If the red pepper were
thinly sliced or diced, no cooking of it would be necessary.

I wonder if the 'mizu' might not be "miso" a kind of Japanese instant
soup mix? Which would make sense to me to boil both the potatoes and red
pepper in miso. All speculaton on my part.

I understand the Japanese love potatoes and one of my favourite omelette
recipes comes from a Japanese cooking show i once watched on t.v.

Boiled, cubed potatoes are lightly browned in butter then beaten eggs
poured over them to form an omelette. Any meats or spices one desires
may be added, green onions and garlic being what was demonstrated.

I was amazed at how much better the combination of potatoes and eggs
cooked together are, much better than being cooked and served
separately.

mizu is water, miso is instant soup mix, misu is miss.

Miso shiru is soup with miso. Miso is fermented soybean paste.

Well, I wasn't going to boil it for a long time, just bring it
to a boil. Like the sauce you make for sushi. It's a very
light syrup of vinegar and sugar, it's just brought to a boil
to dissolve the sugar.
