I had been interested in Organic vegetables from few years ago because the organic vegetables are so good for our health! In Japan, the organic vegetables are  so expensive, so I could not buy the organic vegetables. When I moved in to Philippines, I still thought that the organic vegetables are so expensive as same as Japan. But my friend told me about "Holy Carabao" and the vegetables of Holy Carabao are not so expensive, even if these vegetables are organic. Additionally, they can provide rare vegetables which we can not buy at supermarket, for example Tatsoi (Komatsuna, Japanese name), Kale, and so on.

I will introduce a recipe of Tatsoi today.

"Komatsuna no ohitashi (Boiled Tatsoi eaten with soy sauce)

The ohitashi is very simple and traditional Japanese home cooking. 

[Ingredients]
・Tatsoi

*Katsuobushi is also known as okaka is the Japanese name for dried, fermentell, and  smoked skipjack tuna.

[Provedure]

2. Wash the boiled Tatsoi by water.

3. Squeeze the Tatsoi, and then cut it into 3 to 4 cm.

4. Dish up the Tatsoi on a plate and top with Katsuobushi. Please eat with Japanese soy sauce.
