Weekday Cooking


Porcini lagu sauce pasta

Taro gets hungry seriously when he came home!!
I always keep several fresh pasta and sauce in the freezer in case I prepare for dinner right away especially for weekdays. Just boil water and reheat the sauce. Easy. Takes less than 10 minutes.

While boiling water, make some salad. Shred carrot and coriander.
Pasta and Salad. It is enough for satisfying our stomach.

Daikon Radish Noodle


At last I found the NEW taste for Daikon radish. Saute diced daikon with olive oil and drizzle soy sauce. That's all. Very tasty. Simple is the best.

Scilatelli di Campagna


This is the new solution to consume a huge "Pak Choy(白菜)" ! Learnt at kotokotopasta. For Pak choy, we usually eat as "hot pot". I was looking for another recipe.
Was surprised that it is very matching with tomato lagu sauce.
This pasta is called "Scilatelli"which shape is similar to macaroni and torofie. Make this shape using spaghetti! Interesting.

Japanese Edible Flower

This is called ”食用菊(しょくようぎく)”in Japanese. (Chrysanthemum in English.)
In Autumn, I always buy them. Pull petals and cook them in a boiling water with some vinegar for seconds.
I prefer them to use for Ohitashi Salad. Boiled spinach, tiny dried sardin, lemon juice, soy sauce and crumble seaweed.
Kawaii and Oishi indeed :)

Steamed Fish



Steamed fish with a little Japanese Sake(white wine would be fine as well.)
Very easy and quick recipe for full time worker moms.
The point is that using herbs(ginger, green onion, coliander, Shiso etc.etc.) and special sauce.

How to make special suace for steamed fish
Crushed garlic, Doubanjiang(chinese chilli sauce) , sesami oil and soy sauce.
put all ingredients in a bottle and put the lid on the bottle and shake. and Done!
If you're in Japan, you may use "Kanzuri" instead of Doubanjiang. It would be more tasty.
