Hamburger... wow

Dinner on June 8.

As I had a comfort food for lunch, I made hamburger for dinner. It's VERY rare that I make regular hamburgers which is 100% beef. My hamburger is more like meat loaf. It has some veggies and sometimes I add tofu. Anyway I made a regular hamburger.... wow! It was as good as one I have at bar. (am I saying too much?) I think I can make regular ones once in a while. :)

Sunday lunch

Lunch on June 8.

What do you have for Sunday lunch most? I eat whatever I have here right now, but if I think about my childhood, it's def. fried rice. I guess it's because that's my dad's favorite. Sometimes it was Yakisoba (Japanese style chow mein) or Okonomiyaki (Cabbage pancake). I don't think it's not only for me. These  must be still popular Sunday lunch menu for Japanese. 

Gyoza & Ramen Combo

Lunch on June 7.

This is one of my favorite lunch combo. Gyoza, half size Ramen and small rice. Look at Gyoza! I think I did really good job. The outside is very crispy and inside is juicy. Love it!

Friday night alone .......... party!!!!!!

Dinner on June 6.

Friday night. I'm alone at home.... AWESOME! I can eat whatever I want. I could have ordered pizza, but I wanted to finish pork. So I made some tapas plates, Okura, Bean sprout & Garlic Chive and pork. 

Buta-Kakuni

Dinner on June 5.

Buta-Kakuni (Cooked Pork Belly). The recipe said that it needed cooking sake and mirin (sweet and less alcohol content cooking sake). Of course, I don't have them. So I used beer instead of sake and added additional sugar. It worked ok. But it's just ok. Should I get cooking sake??? hmmm, I will try to invent the new recipe without cooking sake.

Reimen!

Lunch on June 4.

I love Reimen, which is cold noodle. It's also called Hiyashi-Chuka. I think the original toppings are egg, ham, cucumber and tomato. I didn't have any of them, but still there are enough veggies. Yum yum.
