Some kind of Japaneese dinner + snack


Posting this easy recipe I'm using for my normal, no-frill style dinners.
It's basically a wok or stew, and you can add any kind of meat and veggies. Then some marinade made out of the holy triangle (soya, sake and mirin) and a few more additives, and you're set!

Today it went like this:
Quantity of pork (tender part)
Fennel, carrot, shiitake, lotus root, shiso leaves; chopped.
Marinate in a mix of soya, sake, mirin, dashi, sesame seeds, salt and sugar.
Fry fast in a pan or wok, add the marinade when the meat is done and simmer for a few more minutes. Serve with rice, umeboshi, and in this case deep fried lotus root.
As a pre-dinner snack we had some edamame (soya beans in pod).

Quick fixes...


Sorry for not posting in such a long time! Buzy days in the Linuz home...

Anyway, posting a picture of my "not wanting to cook" dinner.... simply rice topped with shiso, nori, sesame seeds, bonito shavings, umeboshi and soy sauce.

I will be posting a few more recipes in near future, pictures are ready.
