February 26th Lunch
February 26th,
It's such a lovely spring weather day, but they said it'll get cold again by the weekend.
Today's lunch:
Tomato and Egg Udon Soup
Chicken and Hanpen Tsukune in Teriyaki Sauce
Tsukune is basically a chicken meatball. You can find it most commonly on the menu at yaki tori restaurants. It's usually served with tare (a sticky sweet sauce) or salt.
Hanpen is an ingredient that often looks like a giant square marshmallow (the ones they sell at the super markets in Japan). It's made mostly from fish and egg whites. The great part of hanpen is that it's low in fat and calories but will add volume to your dish so it's very healthy!
You may find it at an Asian grocery store.

Tried a hand at the poached egg again.
The shape isn't so great but the taste was glorious!

Basil Oven Pumpkin Fries
Simple Salad
In Japan, it's safe to eat eggs even if they're raw because they inspect every egg.
The gooey golden deliciousness.... can't... stop... the drooling...
The other plain half of English muffin I of course used to eat any remaining egg yolk.

February 18th,
Went out for lunch today,
A good friend from the high school days came to Japan!
Japanese style burger teishyoku
Teishyoku refers to a common set menu that comes with a main dish, rice, soup, and a side (usually pickled vegetables).
The rice is pink because it's a mixture of pickled plum and rice, very rum!
The topping on the burger is pureed daikon radish (called daikon oroshi) a common Japanese style topping you also see with fish. The burger is accompanied with grilled eggplant, potato, and tomatoes.
