cantonese favors
These two dishes represent what I think is cantonese favors quite well - steamed oily fish (some sort of small silver fish?) with black beans and soy, and pea spouts in dried scallops and tofu sauce. Both are strong on umami, one from fresh fish and one from dried seafood. Made by H
shishito peppers
it turns out shishito peppers are quite good when stirred fried. with prince mushrooms and spring onions. made by H.
soft boiled egg
H is now an expert in making japanese style soft boiled egg. I think it is like 3 minutes in boiling water and then 3 minutes in the water after turning off the heat. very tasty to have it with soy and mirin mixture or soba dipping sauce if you have it.
gas grill in the balcony
we now have a gas grill in the balcony for the smokier cooking. Grilling Kobe (style) short ribs! The beef was from nijiya market and was very soft and tasty. We served it in a spring onion + soy + ponzu dipping sauce.
First real meal at our new home in LA
Steamed pork egg pie, bitter melon in black bean sauce, brown rice and wine. We buy our produce from the nijiya market in "little osaka". they have good stuff. an upgrade from our usual sources in NY. made by H.
