Grandma's nishime



My wife stopped by her mother's house yesterday and, of course, came back with lots of homemade goodies, among them, nishime (にしめ), vegetables and chikuwa (I'll explain another time) boiled in dashi with soy sauce, mirin, and sugar. Nishime can have lots of different ingredients and the seasonings depend on the whim of the cook. It's definitely an as-you-like-it sort of dish. It's good for any meal. We had some for breakfast this morning (Sunday) and will probably finish it with dinner tonight.
