I am new to your channel and feel others are more deserving of this giveaway, but I will enter as well because I feel that maybe I am worthy as well. I love your channel and I have been making positive changes in my diet, and your channel gives me the most information. I love your recipes, your information on Japanese sauces, lifestyle and more. Thank you for everything and for the opportunity to enter the giveaway. Have a blessed day!
I can see you are a wonderful mom love the attention you give to your sons when you talk and of course. You remind me of how my mom is with my siblings and me 😇. You have beautiful kids 👩👦👦🥰. Oh, and thank you so much for your recipe I been worndering how to eat bitter melon. Great idea I’ll try it soon. ☺️
Hello from Toronto! My dad has a very interesting story about bitter melon. He hated it when he was a kid and was kind of forced to eat it in university when he told a bunch of guys he was living with that he wasn’t a fan. From what I understand, the way meals worked at campus dining halls in Hong Kong (back on the 60s, anyway), you got a main course and a bowl of rice. Some kids ate the main themselves and other kids might share with the table. My dad’s table did the latter. Except one day, they all got bitter melon and beef and my dad got something else. And the guys all reached for my dad’s main, forcing him to eat the bitter melon. So now he eats it. Lol
As an Okinawan, this is so wonderful to see! The culture is so unique and in the US it’s impossible to find Okinawan foods. Sugar cane, Goya, and sweet potato is wonderful. And fish:)
Hey Miwa... Good to catch you on this video.. For the first time I'm seeing you making bitter melon... Here in India we call it as bitterguard... We make fries, stir fry recipes out of it... It's one of the most most medicinal benefit rich vegetables here... Most of the diabetic patients are prescribed to take this bitter melon juice or as a whole vegetable in curries... I loved the way you prepared this recipe as always... Lots of love Miwa.. Bye bye Matane
there are so many ways you use different type of vegetables as a medicine in India, which is a great thing to learn!! Thank you for sharing Sammy! Stay safe Sammy!
We live in Florida, and our Goya plant has grown well this year and is producing large goya cucumbers, though we lost many plants to cold spring weather. I'm going to use your recipe this time. 私の妻は沖縄出身です She usually cooks it her way. I love chanpuru and usually make it with cabbage and mixed veggies. You have a great channel. We have Asian food stores but they don't carry many products from Japan, mostly from Vietnam, Korea, and China. Finding out about Kokoro is awesome.
wow! You grow goya!!!? My family just started to grow some cherry tomato but it's not easy! haha I love kokorocare package. they always come up with high quality unique products! I hope you family will enjoy it! Thank you!
*Hi~~From Korea* We also have bitter melon, but I've never had it for food, but for facial washing~~ 우리는 저것을 여주라고부르는데 세안용으로 쓰지만 볶아먹는것은 처음봐요 참 신기하네요^^👍👍👍🥒🥒🥒
this is soooo interesting!!!!! now I'm so curious how you make a face mask with it!!! No wonder Korean ladies have a beautiful skin!!thank you for sharing!
Hello Miwa ! You make us travel a little bit with your videos . It was interesting to do something with Okinawa food! i m like your son no bitter for me but i must say that dish looked delicious ! Thank you for this great video !
Sorry for the late reply! I'm glad to hear that you felt like traveling okinawa ! I wish I could visit and show you real Okinawa though! Saving that for later!! thank you for your comment as always!
Hi from the US! I love your videos!!! They’re always so soothing to watch and they inspire me to cook Japanese food 😋 My favorite food are the many soups you’ve shared how to make with a miso base. I would love to be entered in the giveaway and try more recipes! ❤️ Followed ✅
I enjoyed the regional food introductions, thank you! Miss going to Japan and appreciate the food tours, please do more… can you do one on Fukuoka, too? And kissaten (western Japanese recipes) easy ones please, thanks again!
There is a shop near my house that sells bitter melon tea, and it's so yummy! It is so refreshing iced in the summer and perks me up...I was excited to see bitter melon in this video, because it is a very popular Asian produce item in my area, so it was something I was familiar with. It's very addictive to people who love bitter tastes, you should try bitter melon tea! 😆💚
In India it’s called bitter gourd/ karela it’s very beneficial for diabetes patients You can add rice flour cornstarch chilli powder n salt deep fry them they taste yum
Miwa San! Okinawa is on my list of travels! Your boys always look so well behaved👦🏻👦🏻My sister loves Goya so I’m excited to use your recipe....I know she is going to love it! Good luck to the winner of your giveaway! Looks like an amazing box of goodies. I am so lucky to live in Japan and have access to all of the ingredients, I know it must be hard to get in other parts of the world. Happy Father’s Day to your hubby!
I just discovered your channel & love recipes so far. I would love to enter the givaway. I love Yakitori & miso soup as well as sushi. I also enjoy nikuman (I think that is that's what they are called? ) however I am not sure as Japanese coworker brought these steamed buns to work once to share & they were delicious.
Favourite Japanese food? Hmm, maybe ramen or sushi. I need some more recipes that use oyster sauce as I have a bottle in my cupboard that I've only used once in the burdock curry I cooked from your video.
I love bitter gourd and so far, I only know how to cook it as they do in India and Sri Lanka. I didn’t know that this is a popular dish in Okinawa, I love the way that you made it. I will definitely try it!
If you ever get a chance and like Pineapple, the next time you're in Okinawa you should check out Nago Pineapple Park. Their store has everything imaginable made from pineapple! Loved visiting it when I was there years ago.
Crushed nuts to give it a bit of crunch is such a good idea! That nut tofu looked delicious too, like a blancmange but healthier! Your recipes give me so many ideas for healthier meals, when I'm cooking it gets too easy to throw things together and drown it in sauce instead of enjoying the individual ingredient flavours and how they combine, and making bitter melon the star really shows how bitterness can compliment a dish rather than ruin it. My favourite dish is cold soba noodles, I just love how refreshing they can be on a hot day and they instantly give me energy back, but they are very expensive to buy where I live haha - I would like to enter this giveaway and experience more ingredients and their flavours, thank you for the opportunity!
Hello! I have just discovered onigiri and I love it! It's inexpensive and has a lot of variety. My teenagers love it, too. I would love to win but if I don't it's ok. It's wonderful to have discovered your channel❤️ Thank you
I grew up on Okinawa, Goya chanpuru is very refreshing in the summer. My favorite though is soki soba (Okinawan soba is not buckwheat) or a cup of tea and a few lumps of black sugar.
Hi Miwa-san....I really enjoyed your adventure to Okinawa. I love seeing different places and trying different foods. Everything is so interesting. The grapes on seaweed reminded me of kazunoko. My Dad used to love eating this. I also have access to many types of Japanese ingredients so wishing good luck to whomever wins your generous giveaway. Very kind of you to do this for your viewers. Kio tsukete 😊🇨🇦
Great video, didn't know that bitter melon was part of Japanese cooking too. We use bitter melon (called karela in urdu) in Pakistani cooking. My mum used to make it in a curry with minced chicken which was very delicious and could be served with rice or roti.
You are so cute and your accent is also so cute 🥰 💕My mom always wants me to eat Bitter Melon, she says it cleans your system very well🤪, I like it with Peanut Chutney and little jaggery. I would love to connect with you personally to learn and understand more about Okinawa Recipes, would like to learn, thank you and Love from India. 🇮🇳❤️
My favorite Japanese Food is still Tenzaru (delicious one) 🤟 I would love to join but I am living in Japan 😜 hopefully someone from oversea can get it 😍🙏
Thank you for your recipes Miwa-san! My favorite is tsumetai soba ! Would you make us a video on it? umi-budo is so good but also so hard to find anywhere... right? I'd like to enter the giveaway, thank you !!!
Miwaさん❣️ I love your IG page and I love your recipes!! Actually I have many fav Japanese foods! But I really love staple food like kimpira gobo and unohana okara! I loved so much when my host family in Japan was used to prepare shio koji marinated fish! And I would love to partecipate to this give away to recreate that so special warm-heart flavors even here in Italy! Thank you for sharing! @pantoufla ❤️
I’d love to enter the giveaway but I’m lucky enough to live close to a bunch of good Asian food stores ☺️ I wish everyone luck who is entering!! Also thank you for the great video!!!
@@MiwasJapaneseCooking back in Phillipines theres a lot . we always made it into salad then pair it with roasted fish. hopefully when i l visit my home again i can eat those fresh seafoods. u can try to make it.
Thank you very much for your kind word!! I really don't do much for myself... but I'll think of if I have anything I can share with you! btw, you look so beautiful in the pic!!!
I would ❤️LOVE❤️ to win the box. 🎁🎉🎁🎉. My favorite Japanese food is onigiri. I have three little chihuahua dogs and it is their favorite too. I can't eat many carbs, so I take a bite and my dogs get excited to know they are getting the rest of it. I live in Tucson, Arizona in the dry desert. 🌵🌵🌵 I am far away from Japan, and not Japanese, but I love Japan and try to eat Japanese food every day, especially Okinawan food. So, this box would be perfect for me and my three little chihuahuas. They would be so happy, they might just sing you guys a "roo roo" thank you song.
Would love to enter the giveaway if it’s not too late! My boyfriend is from Okinawa, and he makes goya chanpuru sometimes. But my reaction to the bitter melon was the same as your son 😂 my own favorite Japanese food is miso katsu, because I’ve spent a lot of time in Nagoya!
I would love to try the taste of Okinawa box! It's a tough one but my favourite Japanese food is abura age, so I love things like kitsune udon and inari zushi :D I still want to go to this specialty shop (and others like the yamagata specialty shop as well, since I have a friend that's from Yamagata prefecture). I know many things I cannot take back home but while in Tokyo I would like to try some of the foods. Going to Okinawa would be even better hahaha I sometimes can get goya here from a Suriname food stall at my local market. But it's soooo bitter. I usually with shiomomi leave it 10 minutes and soak for 24 hours. I tried making goya shigure-ni style but it was still so bitter. Strange the wata is said to be the most bitter part. There are recipes with it but I never dared try it. Interesting that you use mayo in the champuru. Had seen it a s a topping but never a recipe where you add it as a condiment while cooking. I should try that next time.
Hello!!! That recipe looks delicious but I think I will never find any bitter melon in Belgium... My favorite japanese food is chawanmushi, I could eat this every meal ^^
My favorite Japanese Food is still Tenzaru (delicious one) 蘭 I would love to join but I am living in Japan hopefully someone from oversea can get it
What you can tell me about meat for teens? It's might be healthy food (if I eat this with fiber and carbs), just many people say that it's unhealthy, but I don't know...
I would love to enter the giveaway! .Favorite Japanese food is mochi. I love any kind of mochi, with fruit, ice cream, red bean paste, any kind. I don't eat it a lot because it's high in carbohydrates but when I do, I'm in mochi heaven.
@ No Ma I make mochi in the microwave and it tastes great. So fast and easy using glutinous rice flour. I mention it in case you didn't know. I used to make it by cooking rice, pounding rice, etc.
I would love to enter and win an Okinawan box 😊 I have so many favourite Japanese foods, recipes but one I will always remember is Battera Sushi from the Kansai region 😍
@@MiwasJapaneseCooking yes, I was introduced to it when I lived in Kanazawa many years ago. It is never on the menu in Australian sushi bars unfortunately.
I don’t know if i can pick just 1 favorite japanese food coz i got many. I think i can eat rice with miso soup everyday and natto with mustard sauce. I’d love to get the kokorocare package.
We went to Okinawa to see family when I was 10. My little brother and I tried ji-mami tofu and loved it. However, we loved it even more because we would yell "Gee Mommy!" while pointing at our American mother and then laughing. I don't know if our obaasan ever really understood why we'd point at our mother, yell "peanut", and then break down in hysterics.
I’d like to enter the giveaway. My favourite Japanese food is sushi and donburi. Sushi to eat out and donburi to make at home. I went to Okinawa in 2018, it was in December so off season. The weather was beautiful and beaches empty. Tokashiki is my paradise island 🧡
Bitter melon is very popular with the Hmong culture here. I tried the smooth bitter melon once, and it was too bitter for me. I’ll try the bumpy one next time :)
Hi Miwa! My favourite japanese food is tantanmen, but as an everyday food I love natto expecially if combined with genmai and cucumber. When I was living in Tokyo I ate soooo much goya, I found it somehow refreshing in its bitterness, I don`t know, it`s hard to describe, a bitterness that is somehow healthy and satisfying :) And when I was on holiday in Okinawa I hate a lot of purple potatoes, shima rakkyo and umibudo.. I really love okinawan cuisine and I really miss those taste so I would like to try the okinawan box :)
If you would like to lessen the bitter taste, before cooking, follow the instructions below. 1) Cut open the Bitter Melon, discard the seeds and slice into 1/4 inch thickness. 2) Sprinkle some salt and mixed well, cover with a kitchen towel and set aside for about 10 minutes. 3) After 10 minutes using your hands squeezed out as much juice as you would like. 4) You can now cook and enjoy Bitter Melon!
Hi Miwa! I'm Viveka frm India. I would love to enter the giveway korocare package. My favorite Japanese food is miso soup , sushi , etc. I totally fell in love with Japanese food after watching your videos. Your communication is so clear to understand . Keep doing video , we support you ❤🙌
thank you very much for your kind word!!! So heartwarming!!! That's why I can't stopping making contents! So addictive to be connected with people all over the world! haha I'll announce the winner tomorrow!
Miso soup definitely is my favourite. I would like to participate in give away 😄 Is bitter melon similar to winter melon, or ash gourd? It could be hardly found here...Great recepe anyway, as always, I will try it with zucchini!
This is what I think I heard her say: firm soya paneer(tofu), bitter melon, onion, carrot, kombu stock powder, mayonnaise, Chinese hoisin sauce, toasted sesame oil, and salt. Kombu stock powder can be made by boiling kombu seaweed in water or just substitute some kind of Maggi soup cube. I used to buy my Japanese products in Chennai in Adyar. There was a Japanese restaurant with Japanese grocery store . Not sure if it is still there as it was 2009.
I can finally give the love back to you friends!! At the end of this video, I'm announcing GIVEAWAY by partnering with kokorocare package ( kokorocares.com?sca_ref=191925.N4eyA6vKUY )!

I miss my homeland. Vegan 9 years I make all my Okinawan foods vegan. I was born in Okinawa and speak English too. Goya Chanpuru!
Thank you so much for the vegan version! 😘
Thank you for always including the vegan version!!!!! You are great! And this is going to really help me! Thank you!!
I've been to OKINAWA.
Okinawa's foods most impressed me.
You can cook the inside part and it is not bitter depending on the bitter melon itself. If is small n skinny usually is bitter.
thank you for sharing!!
My first Okinawan food i made was Taco Rice. I try making this one second.
I can see you are a wonderful mom love the attention you give to your sons when you talk and of course. You remind me of how my mom is with my siblings and me 😇. You have beautiful kids 👩👦👦🥰. Oh, and thank you so much for your recipe I been worndering how to eat bitter melon. Great idea I’ll try it soon. ☺️

I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed it!! thank you!!!
Thank you so much! I’m SO happy I found your channel! My Mother was Okinawan and I have been looking for healthy recipes! ❤️

Interesting that you use mayo in the champuru. Had seen it a s a topping but never a recipe where you add it as a condiment while cooking. I should try that next time.
soaking 24 hours!!! wow!! It must be soooo bitter!!!!
thank you for entering the giveaway!! My kids is going to pick one! Wishing your luck Tamara!!
Hello!!! That recipe looks delicious but I think I will never find any bitter melon in Belgium... My favorite japanese food is chawanmushi, I could eat this every meal ^^

What you can tell me about meat for teens? It's might be healthy food (if I eat this with fiber and carbs), just many people say that it's unhealthy, but I don't know...
I would love to enter the giveaway! .Favorite Japanese food is mochi. I love any kind of mochi, with fruit, ice cream, red bean paste, any kind. I don't eat it a lot because it's high in carbohydrates but when I do, I'm in mochi heaven.
@ No Ma I make mochi in the microwave and it tastes great. So fast and easy using glutinous rice flour. I mention it in case you didn't know. I used to make it by cooking rice, pounding rice, etc.
Mochi heaven! spoke to me! haha
Thank you for sharing NO Ma!
I would love to enter and win an Okinawan box 😊 I have so many favourite Japanese foods, recipes but one I will always remember is Battera Sushi from the Kansai region 😍
wow!!! I don't think many people know bettera sushi! love it! Thank you for joining give away🙌
@@MiwasJapaneseCooking yes, I was introduced to it when I lived in Kanazawa many years ago. It is never on the menu in Australian sushi bars unfortunately.
I don’t know if i can pick just 1 favorite japanese food coz i got many. I think i can eat rice with miso soup everyday and natto with mustard sauce. I’d love to get the kokorocare package.
your taste buds are pretty much like mine!! haha
I can eat those everyday too! thank you for sharing! I'll announce the winner in a couple of days!
We went to Okinawa to see family when I was 10. My little brother and I tried ji-mami tofu and loved it. However, we loved it even more because we would yell "Gee Mommy!" while pointing at our American mother and then laughing.
I don't know if our obaasan ever really understood why we'd point at our mother, yell "peanut", and then break down in hysterics.
Kawaii. And nice recipe.
arigato😍✨
South Asian cuisine has lot of dishes with bitter melon. We eat it a lot. It is good for people with diabetes and cholesterol.
it really be enjoyed as a medicine in South asia! What a knowledge!
Hi Miwa-san, great content! My favorite Japanese dish is sukiyaki. I would love to win the Okinawa Care Box. Thanks!

I’d like to enter the giveaway. My favourite Japanese food is sushi and donburi. Sushi to eat out and donburi to make at home. I went to Okinawa in 2018, it was in December so off season. The weather was beautiful and beaches empty. Tokashiki is my paradise island 🧡
Bitter melon is very popular with the Hmong culture here. I tried the smooth bitter melon once, and it was too bitter for me. I’ll try the bumpy one next time :)
some of kinds are very very bitter! but sprinkling salt and soaking in water helps! thank you very much for your comment as always!
@@MiwasJapaneseCooking I will try letting it soak for a long time haha! 💕
Miwa saaan. I will participate the giveaway. Thanks for the introduction.
thank you for joining the giveaway! I'll announce the winner in a couple of days!
It’s very hard to find miso in Indiana. Can it be ordered?
Bitter melon is a healthy dish, will try once. But in Thailand we have Chinese bitter gourd, bigger than your bitter melon.
wow!! I thought mine is already huge!! You have even bigger one! interesting! thank you very much for sharing!
👍
Hi Miwa! My favourite japanese food is tantanmen, but as an everyday food I love natto expecially if combined with genmai and cucumber. When I was living in Tokyo I ate soooo much goya, I found it somehow refreshing in its bitterness, I don`t know, it`s hard to describe, a bitterness that is somehow healthy and satisfying :) And when I was on holiday in Okinawa I hate a lot of purple potatoes, shima rakkyo and umibudo.. I really love okinawan cuisine and I really miss those taste so I would like to try the okinawan box :)
Thank you for sharing your stories in Japan Serena! so lovely to hear!! now you are in the giveaway! let me announce the winner in a couple of days!

Hi, iam from south india....nice ur videos...but u r adding wat ingredients with spelling
Thank you very much for your kind word and feedback!
This is what I think I heard her say: firm soya paneer(tofu), bitter melon, onion, carrot, kombu stock powder, mayonnaise, Chinese hoisin sauce, toasted sesame oil, and salt. Kombu stock powder can be made by boiling kombu seaweed in water or just substitute some kind of Maggi soup cube. I used to buy my Japanese products in Chennai in Adyar. There was a Japanese restaurant with Japanese grocery store . Not sure if it is still there as it was 2009.
@@MiwasJapaneseCooking It is my pleasure. Thank you for all the wonderful videos and recipes.
Do people in Okinawa eat a pork?
