In the mood for food
Just a short pictorial of what has been brewing in my kitchen. Sometimes I go through periods where I struggle to think of what to whip up, but there are days where I feel inspired to be a cooking demon…
Here are a couple of non-Japanese dishes I have been making:
This is a new breakfast for me as I am a little tired of my tofu scramble and egg/ham bagels. I bought some spinach but wasn’t keen on making dashi (anchovy powder) soup with spinach and mushrooms, so I threw some into an omelette with baby tomatoes and mozzarella cheese. A sprinkle of black pepper is only needed to give some flavour and voila! I like this so much I could eat it everyday for now.
As usual, Prima to the rescue. I don’t think this version of mee siam is very authentic but it has enough familiar flavours to make me happy. I’ve made this a few times, and strangely, each time I sampled the leftovers, they tasted stale and overly sweet. I think there is something in the sauce that makes it like that, plus cooked spaghetti doesn’t keep well at all so this is definitely an eat-all-or-dump-the-rest dish.
