Note - the first three photos come from Iron Chef Kimio Nonaga's website. Click here to see more recipes that he created for the Lekue.
I received one of these Lekue steam roasters. It can be used in the microwave or in a regular oven. It's ideal for assembling and cooking in one dish, making cleaning easy. Steam can escape from the side vents but it will cook and steam at the same time.
Iron Chef Kimio Nonaga of Nihonbashi Yukari's recipes for seafood and some side dishes that are seafood friendly was included in the steam roaster.
Here is a professional photo of okra, nori, and mushrooms. Below is my dish that I made at home.
It took less than a minute to assemble, a few minutes in the microwave, and then it was done. We loved this as a side dish and will make it again.
This was another one of chef Nonaga's side dishes in his cookbook. Simply slice up some cabbage and a chikuwa (toasted fish cake), add mayonnaise and miso then cook in the microwave.
Also a big hit and a dish we will make again as these are items that are usually in our fridge. Also, it gives me inspiration to make other similar dishes.
Lekue is originally a Spanish product and is available in major countries. It is easy to clean as well. My only advice is to be careful when removing it from the microwave. Once I was caught off guard by the steam coming out of the side vents and it was very hot.
