Notes -
So in the spirit of small scale, what's for dinner tonight?
My wife was up tonight and made the following:
Regular onigiri with white rice
Pork-wrapped julienned carrots and green peppers with some sort of sour plum paste seasoned with salt and pepper. Sautéed so it was like a little roll of meat with vegetables inside
Some sort of kimchee vegetables that included celery sections. Was surprisingly good
miso soup (tofu, green onions, spinach)
tofu (kinugoshi or soft) in squares topped with thin sliced onions, sesame oil, and her family's soy sauce, which I'm told is noticeably different than that you can buy in stores
cucumber medallions and daikon radish and carrots pickled in some way
udon noodles topped with some meat and baby leaf lettuce seasoned in some way (I think the noodles were the main?)
I had all this with two very cold beers.
I imagine @Tretiak eating pizza topped in butter, how about the rest of you?
Probably making either a curry or a dal. Easy to heat up during the week when I don't feel like cooking. Also got a leek & potato pie on tap to make at some point, although I will freely admit I just use storebought puff pastry for the topping. I do need to learn how to make a proper shortcrust at some point, since I love meat pies & pasties, but that's sure as hell not a today thing.
