Introduction
This set features 'Zawa-Pepe', a new sensation in Peperoncino using sauerkraut (pickled cabbage) inspired by a popular dish at a famous Asakusa restaurant, along with a hearty soup to deliciously use up any leftover sauerkraut. By thoroughly stir-frying the sauerkraut, the acidity becomes mild, drawing out surprising depth and richness.
Step 1
[Zawa-Pepe] Slice the garlic, and cut the chili pepper in half to remove the seeds. Slice the onion and finely mince the bacon.
Step 2
[Zawa-Pepe] Add 1 tbsp olive oil to a frying pan and stir-fry the sliced garlic over medium heat. Once it turns a beautiful golden brown, remove the fried garlic before it burns.
Step 3
[Zawa-Pepe] Boil water in a pot, add salt (1% concentration), and start boiling the pasta (1.7mm) for 1 minute less than the package instructions (7 minutes in this case).
Step 4
[Zawa-Pepe] Using the oil from the pan where you made the fried garlic, add the chili pepper, bacon, and onion, and stir-fry over medium heat until the onion softens.
Step 5
[Zawa-Pepe] Add 80cc of water, 1/2 tsp consommé, 1/4 tsp chicken bouillon powder, and 20g of sauerkraut to the pan. Heat over low heat to cook off the strong acidity of the sauerkraut and extract the umami.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Sauerkraut is tart when raw, but heating it softens the edges and transforms it into a premium, savory flavor. The key for both the pasta sauce and the soup is to stir-fry well to remove excess moisture. 🔥
Garlic continues to cook in the residual heat, so remove it from the oil quickly as soon as it colors to ensure perfect garlic chips. 💡
When boiling pasta, strictly maintain a 1% salt concentration; seasoning the pasta itself is crucial for balancing the overall flavor. ⚠️
