Golden Fish Sweet

This is souvenir from Japan. The golden fish is made of bean paste, and water is sugar jelly.
It's amazing how much effort you can put to cooking !

Red Cabbage & Sweet Corn Salad (赤キャベツとコーンのサラダ)

Since red cabbage is harder than regular cabbage, you can boil a bit as well.
I put a lot of salt to chopped red cabbage to dehydrate it.
Squeeze water from cabbage as much as possible, and add boiled sweet corn.
It's easy to dehusk corn with bread knife.
I added a bit of mayonnaise, lemon, and salt to finish it as lightly flavored coleslaw.


Today's dinner plate looked like this :

Tomato Mozzarella Spagetti

This is the laziest dish I make. TJ's tomato sauce & fresh mozzarella cheese.
Don't heat up mozzarella cheese. It should be warmed up in the sauce which produces the best milky and chewy texture.
My sister gave me this long microwavable container which I boil pasta in microwave.
You can get it in Japanese dollar shop like Daiso, but basically any large enough container which can accommodate pasta is fine.
