Lunch Log: Week 116
It’s still considered early on in the year, but one thing has been absolutely unmissable to stock up on since we discovered it is wild garlic. If winter was the quiet boring time on the culinary calendar, once you hear on the grapevine that wild garlic is about then it confirms that the food cycle […]
Lunch Log: Week 115
Recipes nowadays seem far more accessible compared to the past, defined by the same line of those that have heard the sound of a dial-up modem in the same room from those that have had social media accounts before turning 10. If it wasn’t for this ease of accessibility I probably wouldn’t of developed my […]
Monsoon Summer lunch
I’m not sure if I got household approval or hunger was to blame but it resulted in complete annihilation of the piri piri sauce. Lunch is late with pan fried chicken thigh pieces with piri piri, tomato & mint salad, stir fried yellow capsicum & onion and steamed runner beans. The onigiri are plain but […]
The tradional colours of Autumn
Autumnal Bento: too bad I’ve not foraged for mushrooms around here, so it’s store provided shiitake. Takikomi gohan (shiitake, carrot, frozen baby broad beans, kombu no tsukudani) with a soft boiled egg, tomato, runner beans steamed in dashi and salmon
Not your average BBQ chicken
I guess you start to truly appreciate good quality meat when it is less convenient to come by. Lunch is pickled radish, tomato, carrot kimpira, BBQ eggplant, BBQ chicken with home made piri piri sauce and kombu no tsukudani
Bibimbap – Healthy, Pretty, and Delicious
Feeling under the weather, so I had this a little earlier than usual. Stir fried onion, soft boiled egg, chilli sausage, soy eggplant, garlic runner beans, carrot kimpira and pickled radish.. And when it’s bowled up – wWhat a beautiful sight; it’s mostly veg so it’s probably healthier than yesterday’s lunch. Bibimbap never fails to […]
Nostalgic Piri Piri Chicken
What an eventful week. After such an elaborate sushi making session, it’s good to wind down. As the rice was fresh for sushi, I prepared onigiri yesterday in advance. The fillings were kombu no tsukudani, smoked salmon & wasabi or anchovy & spring onion – “cupboard store” items (or left overs in the case of […]
Very Simple Ramen
A simple lunch consisting of noodles which is heavy on the crab sticks as I need to get through it since the brand change was not popular in the household. Shiitake, soft boiled egg, shredded crab sticks and spring onion combined with a shoyu ginger broth with added chicken stock. Despite the reduced amount of noodles or […]
Waving Goodbye to Summer with Onigiri
Time to cache the sunlight, pity it doesn’t warm rice balls effectively. Lunch is seafood green curry, pickled radish ‘chrysanthemums’, cucumber, runner beans with ginger & ponzu and tomato served with onigiri (kombu tsukudani, bacon and anchovy with spring onion & ginger)
First Pasta of September
First day and pasta of the month, though the days are getting shorter the BBQ will go on.. Because of excess sausages and beans for Sunday breakfast, it was a simple matter of cooking the tomatoes to bring out their extra sweetness. Lunch is stove-top grilled tomatoes, shredded bacon, sliced Italian sausage and runner beans […]
