Aeon's "bouillabaisse"
Bouillabaisse in the microwave!

Aeon's "World Dining" series, which uses frozen foods and retort foods from around the world. I tried one of them, "bouillabaisse". It contains a lot of mussels and shrimp and is a nice dish for seafood lovers.

This is the package

The selling price is 398 yen (excluding tax). Calories are 189 kcal per bag. Bouillabaisse is a soup that is said to have started in the Provence region of France, where fishermen's dishes of small fish and shellfish that are not for sale are boiled in a pot. Aeon's seafood is combined with potatoes in a tomato-based soup.

6 minutes in the microwave. Don't forget to unzip before opening the package.

Cooking is as simple as using a microwave, but be aware that the package should not be opened in the frozen state and should be thawed naturally or under running water while still sealed. After the ingredients and soup are completely melted, put them in a deep bowl, stir well, cover with plastic wrap, and heat in the "strong" range for 6 minutes.

When the soup is successfully prepared, you will smell the rich spices and seafood when you open the microwave oven door. If you remove the wrap and check the ingredients again, you will find that it is a considerable amount. This package contained 5 sweet shrimp, 3 Alaska pollack, 3 mussels with color, and a lot of potatoes cut into bite-sized blocks. It is a volume that is easy to share with 2 to 3 people.

After that, there are a lot of bite-sized potatoes

The sweet shrimp is small and can be eaten as it is, and each time you chew it, the taste of seafood comes out from inside. Cod sucks soup well and has a spicy flavor added to the light taste of white fish. Mussels are pre-prepared and large.

The soup is quite salty, so you can enjoy it little by little by dipping it in bread, or if you put the ingredients in a separate plate first, put a rice pack etc. in the microwave again and make it a risotto-style porridge. It may not be bad.
