Sort of linking in with yesterday’s somen noodles, today I am eating soba. The similarity is that they are both served cold and delicious. The difference is that they are totally different noodles ( a sort of weal link).
Anyhow tonight I could think of nothing easier to cook by myself, for myself than a plate […]
Yaki soba (BBQ noodles) is more commonly cooked with pork but in the interest of keeping with my stepping stones solo cooking week I have used beef to link in with yesterday.
Chopped onions, mushrooms, cabbage and beef all went into the fry pan until almost done. Then in went the noodles closely followed by the […]
Linking into yesterday’s meal, I have once again used (or misused) somen noodles. This time they are hot and mixed in with the stir fried dish at the last minute which I think is something that fine somen noodles would not be used to. Anyhow it was a simple matter of stir frying some thinly sliced […]
Yesterday I ate sake ( not the sort you drink but the Japanese word for salmon) as a rice bowl donburi meal. The rice was the second half of a batch that I cooked for the night before and the curry that I ate then. Maybe the way to cook quickly and with minimum fuss […]
Cooking for one is all about timing. Tonight I only just got dinner together before I passed out with hunger. That is my excuse anyway for not taking a photo until half of the meal was already eaten.
Tonight I re-heated the second half of last night’s rice and topped it with steamed spinach, sauteed long […]
Japan is known for it’s curry. It is sweet and not even really very curryish but it tastes OK. The sliest most cheating way to get curry onto your table is to use a ready made sachet like this. Everything is in there ( at least the bare minimum of everything). All it needs is […]
My wife is overseas for a week and my kids are not interested in eating what I cook for myself (that is reasonable because I am not interested in what I cook for them either - boring for my three year old and mushy for my toothless one year old) so it is solo cooking again […]
This is a new addition to my kitchen and one that has quickly made a permanent home. It is a light and delicious dressing made of the minty/basil flavoured shiso leaf. Shiso is also called beef steak plant for some reason but it goes well with chicken, salad, fish or pork. A small amount of […]
Check these guys out. A friend bought these over when she performed a tea ceremony with us. All of them are based on rice. Sticky and mildly sweet the flavours are subtle and intriguing and the textures are out of this world.
This is an omiyage (souvenir) from Sendai. a bed of seaweed and tiny fish eggs topped with big salmon eggs and scallops. It came frozen and is to be eaten raw. With fresh rice it was delicious. I think scallops are one of my all time favourite food (but so are most things)
