Noodle Salad ~Hiyashi Chuka冷やし中華~

The season of Cold noodle salad has come! Last year, we had it on May 22. Almost all the same as the one we had last year. Just the difference of shaped of chicken. Shreded or Sliced.
I prefer the first one.

Gobo(burdock roots) & Beef DON

Japanese people care for Teriyaki taste.
Sautee Gobo and Sliced beef. Season Teriyaki sauce(soy sauce, Mirin, sake and sugar). Wrapped with soft boiled eggs. No need to add "Dashi". Beef and Gobo have lots of Dashi essence.

Taro's rate:★★★★★
He likes rich and thick taste.

Spicy meat ball with turmeric rice

When I made humburg, made spicy meat balls at the same time. Braised meat balls and some vegetables in tomato sauce. Next day, I added curry powder and had them as curry and rice.

Broccoli salad with tomato dressing. Always have Shiso herb in salad these days.

A bucket of Custard Pudding
Baked Whole Pumpkin
Baked cheese cake

My sister is also crazy about cooking. Since her acquaintance visits at her place, she prepares for loads of sweets and snacks for one day! Incredible! To keep cooking is to blow off some steam for us maybe... :P

Love noodles!

We love noodles very much. Easy and quick to make for busy weekday night. Here are some noodle dishes last month we had.
Hiyashi Chuka(Cold Ramen noodles)
Serve cold. Drizzle Sweet and sour soy sauce and eat.
Taro always stars to eat shredded sweets egg omelet first.

KitsuneBukkake Udon
”Kitsune" is literaly meaning is "fox". Usually it means that simmered deep fried bean curd with sweety soy sauce taste. This time, the Udon serves cold and poured warm Dashi soup.

Orecchiette with brassica(flower sprout) sauce

Learnt at Kotokotopasta. It is quite tough to make "orecchiette" shape using a knife. I am really bad at making pasta using any tools except a pasta machine.
Have to make it and review again.....
However, my family didn't realise what genuine orecchiette is so they enjoyed the meal. :P

For salad, made chicken and tomato salad with Shiso herbs. I love Shiso herbs very much. It is kind of a gently basil leaf. The smell tells us summer has come.


Taro'srate:★★★★(didn't eat brassica.)
