A Temarizushi Bento for a Quiet Celebration
For anyone paying attention: yes, I’ve not been keeping this blog up to date. As usual – when I bother to I’ll migrate the rather large volume of past entries eventually. It looks like the general consensus for 2016 has been rather grim – which I’ve also not escaped. Let’s just say I’m going to […]
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 […]
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
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 […]
Lunch Log: Week 83 Day 1
Al desko, as they say, but does it count when you’re at home? Lunch is BBQ lamb steak, grilled runner beans, tomato, cheese cauliflower and crabstick makizushi
Lunch Log: Week 82 Day 5
Because I felt like udon, I went a little overboard with the toppings: steamed beans, spring rolls, soft boiled egg, shredded crab stick, spring onions, simmered shiitake and garlic eggplant – The udon soup started off as a traditional vegetarian type but I couldn’t resist adding a home made chicken stock cube. Topped with nori […]
Lunch Log: Week 82 Day 2
A light lunch today but worth it for fresh spring rolls. Lunch is lamb spring rolls, wakame & cucumber salad, BBQ corn, ginger simmered eggplant & capsicum, and fish filled onigiri (spicy salmon and anchovies)
