Hi everyone, I am Sasha. Today I want to share 7 good items from Costco that my family "frequently repurchases" In the video, I will share my experience and cooking methods. I hope everyone will like it. Then let’s start today’s video! Frozen cultured extra-large shrimp with tail / Purchased at COSTCO (JPY¥2298) / Made in Thailand One pack weighs 908g and contains about 42-50 shrimps. No chemical ingredients are added. Packed in a zipper bag, very convenient to take. The shrimp heads, shells and intestines are all clean and can be cooked directly after thawing. You can use 3% salt water to thaw, which can reduce the fishy smell of shrimp and make it more saturated and elastic. It will be OK in about 20 minutes The size of this shrimp is very suitable for making "tempura"🍤 Before frying, you can make a few diagonal cuts on the bottom so that the shrimps can be laid out in a straight line. With this preparatory work, the shrimps will not curl up after being fried and will look more beautiful. Dip in flour first and then the tempura batter. This will make it easier for the tempura batter to adhere to the shrimp. Oil temperature is about 180 degrees, fry for 3-5 minutes You can dip your hands into some batter and slowly sprinkle it on top of the shrimp to make a tempura shell. Dip in some pepper and salt, it will be delicious~ In addition to tempura, you can also make Spanish garlic shrimp, which is simple and delicious Put garlic and chili into the pot and fry until fragrant Add cauliflower, shrimp, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes and other ingredients, and finally add some olive oil Sprinkle with black pepper, salt, and coriander powder and it’s done~

The shrimps taste very chewy, and with the aroma of garlic, you really won’t be able to stop eating them one bite after another!

In addition to shrimps, this dish would also be delicious if replaced with other seafood (oysters, squid, etc.)~

Mini pizza (24 pieces) / Purchased at COSTCO (JPY¥998) / Made in Germany
twenty four
00:01:46,873 --> 00:01:52,780
This is a Margherita flavored pizza. The small size is perfect for breakfast or afternoon tea. There are 24 pieces in a box, 1 piece is about JPY¥42 (=NT$8.8), the CP value is very high Although it is about the size of your palm, the crust is very thick and there is a lot of cheese. Although it looks small, you feel full after eating it There is no need to remove the ice in advance, just place it in the oven for heating when frozen. Aladdin oven without preheating, 200 degrees for 7-8 minutes After roasting, it's crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and it's delicious, but there's too much tomato sauce, and the cheese flavor is a bit overshadowed. It’s worth buying for those who like a bit more sour taste. You can add some “Brazilian” to make it taste more sophisticated~ Red grapefruit cups (12 pieces) / Purchased at COSTCO (JPY¥2148) / Made in Mexico This red grapefruit is my "must buy" every time, and it's also very popular online. The ingredients include red-fleshed grapefruit, water, sugar, and antioxidants. Overall, it’s quite simple. A cup of 96cal, you can eat it when you are craving for food and feel less guilty~~laugh The grapefruit pulp is very complete and plump, and tastes like freshly peeled fruit. Its sugar water is not too sweet. Eat it directly with the pulp. It has just the right sour and sweet taste. If you don’t like it too sweet, you can also add sparkling water, green tea, Sprite, vodka, etc. to make a special drink The refrigerated shelf life is about 10 months, but in the summer I freeze part of it to make smoothies. Sweet, sour and cold, you can eat several cups at a time! 😋 Peeled beef tongue / Purchased at COSTCO (JPY¥4329) / Made in the United States It’s rare to see whole beef tongue in Japanese supermarkets, so I always buy one every time I go to Costco. It also has sliced beef tongue, but the whole piece is cheaper (about 100g cheaper JPY¥100) Cutting is actually not as troublesome as expected, and you can also adjust the thickness of the beef tongue yourself. Cut the left and right sides of the package first, and then cut it from the middle. Blood will not spray randomly when opening the bag. Remaining blood and water can easily cause the meat to stink. Rinse it with water first and then soak it in water for 1 hour to remove the blood water. Different parts of beef tongue have slightly different tastes. You can decide how to cook them according to the parts. There are two large blood vessels and some fascia under the tongue, which will not affect the taste after treatment. It can be easily cut by pulling and cutting at the same time, and then trim the fascia carefully. The sublingual area after intensive repair will look like this Then cut the upper part of the tongue and press it with your fingers to find the cutting line Next, I will share with you two dishes: pan-fried beef tongue and red wine braised beef tongue. Dishes 1: Pan-fried beef tongue Roll up the middle and base of the tongue with plastic wrap to shape it. It is better to cut into slices after being slightly frozen. You can decide the thickness yourself. Let’s take the luxury of cutting it into thick slices today~ Make a few diagonal cuts on the surface, which will make it easier to cook when grilled and easier to bite when eating. After the pan is heated, use high heat to brown the surface, then turn to low heat and cook for 5-6 minutes. You can add scallion and salt sauce, or creamy soy sauce, it will be delicious ~ thumbs up! Dishes 2: Beef tongue braised in red wine Ingredients for beef tongue braised in red wine (for 2 people) Marinate beef tongue with salt and black pepper for 10 minutes After the butter melts, add the beef tongue and fry on both sides until fragrant, then sauté the onions and carrots until soft Add 100ml of red wine and 300ml of water, cover and simmer over low heat for 40 minutes Finally, add the seasonings and potatoes, then open the lid and simmer for 20 minutes. When the sauce thickens, you can remove it from the pot. My husband said it was delicious and he ate two bowls of rice~ Guacamole / Purchased at COSTCO (JPY¥2098) / Made in Mexico This is the guacamole from Costco's private brand "KIRKLAND" There are 16 pieces in a box, and the average price is about 131 yen (=NT$28) per piece. Individual packaging (70g) is very convenient and can be eaten at one time In addition to avocado puree, additional seasonings such as tomatoes, lime juice, onions, and garlic are added It tastes spicy and sour, with a hint of garlic flavor, and people with strong tastes will love it! Pair the guacamole with corn chips and it will really make you bite after bite! I can't stop~~ I also often use it to make "Avocado Egg Salad Burger", it's simple and delicious Add your favorite ingredients to the guacamole, stir evenly and set aside The small meal bag is heated in the oven first, and then a V-shaped opening is cut. Put a shrimp in the middle Then add avocado and egg salad Finally, sprinkle some black pepper to increase the aroma, and you’re done~ Seafood and guacamole go well together. In addition to making a submarine, it can also be made into pasta~ It can be kept refrigerated for a month, or frozen, and the taste won’t change too much after thawing. Dr. Brown Cleansing Lotion / Purchased at COSTCO (JPY¥2388) / Made in the United States The reviews on Costco Japan are good, and the most popular one is the lavender model. What I often repurchase is the "blue model" with no added fragrance, which can be used to wash your face and body. Its texture is watery, and its base is composed of five organic vegetable oils, making it suitable for sensitive skin. It lathers quite well and the foam is quite delicate. I have combination skin and it feels very refreshing after use, with no residual feeling and my skin is not too tight. I think it’s OK to wash my face in winter, as my cheeks won’t be too dry (skin type in winter: T-shaped oily, cheeks tend to be dry) My husband uses one bottle to wash himself from head to toe. It’s also very convenient for taking a bath occasionally! But for me,
I don’t recommend using it to wash your hair. People with long hair will get tangled to the point of crying~😢😢 It can also be diluted with water and used with a mousse spray bottle~ Lion Coffee Powder/Purchased at COSTCO (JPY¥2880)/Made in the United States This "Lion Coffee" is the most popular coffee brand in Hawaii with a long history (1864) It is also the coffee used for state banquets at the White House in the United States. "Aroma Series" coffee is their specialty. I used to buy vanilla nut flavored coffee. But Costco's "Hawaiian flavor" is made from Colombian, Brazilian, and Hawaiian high-end alakabi.
The coffee beans are medium-dark roasted and are one of the few Lion Coffee coffees that do not have additional aroma added! Hot coffee brewing ratio: 10g coffee powder/180ml water Before brewing, soak the coffee powder with a small amount of hot water, let it steam for 1 minute, and then use the hot water in a circular motion to
Join in and make it by hand, it’s also delicious~ Although it is a bitter coffee with less sourness, it is very smooth to drink. Black coffee or with milk is fine. Also suitable for making iced coffee, brewing ratio: 50g coffee powder/620ml water Place in refrigerator for 8 hours After drinking Leng Cui, there will be less "bitterness" and the drink will taste much softer~ Unopened coffee: Store at room temperature for 3 to 4 months After opening, I will store it in the refrigerator so that the coffee flavor will not escape too much. Thank you for watching today’s video and I wish you all a happy weekend~
