Yvan has discovered that a south-east asian grocery near his work stocks umeboshi – and a very bright red (but tasty) variety at that! In addition: a good quality short grain rice.
The previous evening there was a surplus of certain ingredients in the house and Yvan decided on cooking up something he hadn’t cooked in a while: stirfry. How nice to have most of your lunch made for you already!
Lunch contents: leftover chicken stirfry, parsley, simmered kombu rolls, rice with umeboshi and black sesame seeds.
The simmered kombu was already kicking around in the fridge, all I did was roll a few up for lunch to complement the plain rice.
