Towada Barayaki
Misawa city is said to be the birthplace of Towada Barayaki. The popularity of this simple dish has crossed its border to the neighboring cities and towns though mostly in Towada city. Let’s get to the main point. What is Towada Barayaki? It is one of the famous local specialties of Aomori prefecture. Barayaki – a dish made with beef ribs (these days sometimes pork is used) and onions including coating ingredients such as grated ginger, soya sauce, sugar and grated apple. The dish was originated in the 1950s, right after the Japan world war2. Locals at that time were able to buy beef ribs very cheaply from the US Air Base located in Misawa city.
The recipe is very simple. First of all, you mix up all the coating ingredients in a bowl. Then you slice the beef thinly, after that you peel onions and cut then into 1 cm. wide slices. Now you marinate the sliced beef and onion in coating ingredients for about 30 minutes to 40 minutes. Take a BBQ iron griddle pan and heat the salad oil before adding the marinated beef and onion. Grill and stir it well for 10 to 15 minutes. Then serve it immediately.
