โJapanese gas stoves have a grill for grilling fish.โ
- ใ็ผใ (ใใ / yaku)ใ is a verb meaning to cook with heat, which corresponds to grill, roast, bake, etc. in English. It can be used to cook meat, vegetables, and fish. It can also be used to bake bread, cakes, cookies, etc., in the oven. (It cannot be used to heat food in the microwave. We say ใๆธฉใใ (ใใใใใ / atatameru / โto heatโ)ใ, instead.)
- Almost all Japanese gas stoves have a built-in grill dedicated just to grilling fish. My Ghanaian and Austrian friends were amazed when they cooked at my house.

โThe longer you simmer it, the more seasoned and delicious the meat will be.โ
- ใ็
ฎใ (ใซใ / niru)ใ is used when you simmer the food to get the flavor into the food. But when you boil it just to heat it up (without seasoning it), you say ใ่นใงใ (ใใงใ / yuderu)ใ.
- For example, Pot-au-feu and chicken noodle soup are simmered so that the ingredients are well seasoned and the vegetables become tender. So, ใ็ ฎใ (ใซใ / niru)ใ is perfect for these foods.
- On the other hand, boiling spaghetti noodles or boiling potatoes to make mashed potatoes is just to heat them up. For these, the verb ใ่นใงใ (ใใงใ / yuderu)ใ is perfect.
