Lentil Curry

Lentil curry is eaten as sauce on top of rice in India.
Yogurt is another common sauce for rice.
My favorite is yogurt and pickled lemon mixed thoroughly with white rice.

Dahl (Lentil)


 
How to make :
- Boil lentil and add your favorite vegetable and salt in the end.
- You can flavor it with spiced oil.

Baby Taro Curry

I didn't know that Baby Taro (Sato-imo in Japanese) is used in Indian curry till last week when I first time tried it in an Indian restaurant.
I improvised it today, and turned out to be yummy !
Pealing baby taro is a bit of work since it's slippery and makes hands itchy.
After microwave taros for 1 min in microwave, pealing them becomes much easier.

Cauliflower Curry

Cauliflower curry just by itself !

Fried Rice and Seaweed Soup

Key point of Chinese cooking is to stir each ingredient separately and mix them in the end.
Don't try to cook multiple ingredients together !

Steamed Chicken with Green Onion Sauce (鶏の葱ソース)

This is a summer dish in the sense of how it's made and how it tastes.
Steam chicken in microwave and put heavily ginger + onion flavored sauce.
I recently read in a magazine that marinating in salt makes meat tender and juicy.

鶏肉を電子レンジで蒸して塩葱ソースでいただきます。
蒸し煮にしてもいいようです。
作るのも食べるのも汗をかかないですむので、夏にはうってつけの一品。
最近雑誌で読んだところ、肉は塩に一日以上つけると柔らかくなり、味も良くなるようです。


What you need:

- Chicken (thigh meet) 鶏肉(腿肉が一番美味しいかな?)
- Ginger (graded) (生姜、卸す)
- Green Onion (葱)
- Onion (graded) (玉ねぎ、卸す)
- Sake (酒)
- Salt (塩)
- Olive oil or some sort of flavored oil(オリーブオイル、葱オイルなど香りの良いもの)

How to make :
1: Marinate chicken to sake, ginger, and salt for 30 min.(鶏肉を酒、生姜、塩につける)
2: Steam chicken.(鶏肉を蒸す)
3: Mix graded ginger, graded onion, sake, salt, oil and juice from chicken.(生姜、卸玉葱、酒、塩、オイルと蒸したときに出た肉汁を混ぜ、ソースを作る)
4: Put chicken in the above sauce, and marinate in fridge till it's chilled.(鶏肉をソースにつけ、冷蔵庫で寝かせる)
5: Garnish with green onion.(葱を散らして完成)

Beef Steak with Garlic Rice

American beef is tough compared to Japanese beef.
I should have diced beef before baked it.
Garlic rice with scrambled egg is my favorite company along with beef steak.
