Kikkoman's New Culinary Innovations

Kikkoman Foods, a household name in Japan, has announced the launch of two exciting new products in their "Uchi no Gohan" line on August 4. This series focuses on providing convenient and delicious solutions for home-cooked meals while ensuring that preparation is easy and quick. The new items, "Tofu Melted Sesame Mabo" and "Pork and Chinese Cabbage with Oyster Sauce Soy Sauce," promise to revitalize dinner time with their authentic flavors and simple cooking methods.

Tofu Melted Sesame Mabo

The first item, "Tofu Melted Sesame Mabo," is designed for those craving a scrumptious and satisfying tofu dish. To create this delectable meal, you need just one block of silken tofu (approximately 350-400g), about 30g of green onion, and 100g of minced pork. In just about seven minutes using a frying pan, you can prepare 2-3 servings of this creamy and rich Mabo Tofu. The unique flavor profile features a deep umami from doubanjiang and garlic, while the sesame contributes a mild creaminess, making it suitable even for kids who prefer lighter spice levels.

Pork and Chinese Cabbage with Oyster Sauce Soy Sauce

The second offering, "Pork and Chinese Cabbage with Oyster Sauce Soy Sauce," calls for 350g of Chinese cabbage and 250g of thinly sliced pork belly. This dish also takes around seven minutes to prepare and yields a generous 3-4 servings. The cooked cabbage achieves a wonderfully tender texture, infused with the deep umami flavors from the oyster sauce, complemented by a hint of sesame oil and cracked black pepper for an inviting aroma.

The 'Uchi no Gohan' Concept

The "Uchi no Gohan" series has been a game-changer since its inception in 2002, allowing busy home cooks to whip up dishes that taste as if they were made from scratch. It began as a localized offering in the greater Tokyo area and expanded nationwide the following year. Over the years, the series has diversified to include various convenient cooking options such as "Osozai no Moto," which makes easy-to-prepare Japanese homestyle sides, as well as varieties perfect for microwave cooking or quick mixing with rice. Additionally, offerings like the "Vege Osozai no Moto" have made it simpler to incorporate essential vegetables into daily meals, fulfilling the daily vegetable intake for a person.

Enhanced Vegetable Broths

Notably, Kikkoman has upgraded the vegetable broths used in their "Uchi no Gohan" series, now featuring a blend of seven different domestic vegetable sources, including daikon and spinach, alongside the usual cabbage, carrot, onion, and potato. This reformulation enhances the umami and sweetness, making every dish a delightful surprise for the palate.

Catering to Modern Lifestyles

Kikkoman recognizes the evolving nature of meal preparation and the increasing demand for quick, hassle-free cooking products. As people’s lifestyles continue to change, Kikkoman is committed to delivering high-quality cooking solutions to support daily home-cooked meals. With these new offerings, home chefs can enjoy the benefits of delicious, homemade flavors in less time than ever before.
