★Hollandaise sauce , a sauce that originated in France, but is also popular in Germany. This menu is often found in restaurants. It’s typical of Germany to eat it with ham. Accompany wine or beer as you like.
★Hollandaise sauce It goes well with white rice, so I think you can serve it with rice instead of potatoes.
★In Japan, it may be difficult to obtain asparagus in large quantities at reasonable prices like in Germany. Other than asparagus, green vegetables such as broccoli and green beans also go well with the sauce, so be sure to try combining them with other vegetables.
