"Do you know if this vegetable is perfect for summer?"

🌱 Enzai = Sorashina, did you know?

Although it is common in Okinawa and Asia, in Japan it is still a summer vegetable known only to those in the know.

✔ stem is hollow and has a crunchy texture

✔ iron and calcium

✔ β-carotene and vitamin C for UV protection

✔ leaves are soft and easy to eat

Because it is a strong vegetable in summer, you can eat it even if you lose your appetite due to the heat.

"It's a waste not to know" is a vegetable.

... Read more空芯菜(くうしんさい)って、名前は聞いたことがあっても「エンツァイ?エンサイ?別名なの?」と混乱しがちですよね。私も最初は売り場で「エンツァイ=空芯菜」と書かれていて、やっと同じ野菜だと知りました。呼び方はいくつかありますが、基本は“同じ野菜を指している”と思ってOKです。 まず、空芯菜のいちばん分かりやすい特徴は「茎の中が空洞」なこと。切ってみると本当にストローみたいで、炒めると茎はシャキッ、葉はやわらか。クセが少ないので、青菜が苦手な人でも食べやすいと思います。暑い時期って食欲が落ちがちですが、この食感があるだけで箸が進みました。 栄養面では、夏にうれしい要素が多いのも魅力。鉄分&カルシウムが含まれていて、なんとなく疲れやすい時期の食事に取り入れやすいです。さらにβカロテン&ビタミンCも意識できるので、紫外線が強い季節の“野菜でできる対策”としても選びやすいなと感じました。「茎は空洞なのに、栄養はギッシリ」という言葉がしっくりきます。 食べ方は、まずはシンプルな炒め物がおすすめ。にんにく+油でサッと炒めて、塩または醤油で味を決めるだけで十分おいしいです。ポイントは“火を通しすぎない”こと。炒め時間が長いとシャキッと感が減りやすいので、強火で短時間が好みでした。豚肉やツナを足すとボリュームが出て、主菜っぽくもなります。 もう一つおすすめは、さっと茹でてから冷やして、ポン酢やごまダレで食べる方法。暑い日に「炒める気力がない…」というときでも食べやすく、作り置きにも便利でした。 栽培に興味がある人向けに軽く触れると、空芯菜は“夏に強い”野菜として知られていて、暑い時期でも育ちやすいのが人気の理由のひとつみたいです。家庭菜園でも見かけるので、夏のベランダ菜園候補としてチェックしてみるのもアリ。 空芯菜(エンツァイ)は、知らないままだともったいない夏野菜。見かけたら一度試して、シャキッと食感と食べやすさを体験してみてください。
