Fried Chingensai (Pok choy) & poak.
Adding starch to chicken soup which makes it melty.

I like sliced poak back ribs so much.
It adds good broth, also soft and tasty.

However, I added too much salt a bit this time.

I do check the taste but always feel short on the taste so add seasoning.
Then it makes dish strong.

I don't know why but I repeat this mistake.
I don't learn.

It's wonder.

Hope I can learn it as soon as possible because it's obviousely bad for health!

UTSUWA － 器

As I mentioned before, I bought dishes recently and it was the first time to buy since I started to live by myself.
Until I bought dishes I used dishes and plates which I got as a wedding party gift or I used when I lived in Kyoto for University. However, as I cook I care more and more about how it look like and want more variation of dish. Specially, I wanted rice bowl because I used wooden soup bowl instead.




This rice bowl was made by Mr.Tsuneo Narui which I found at shop named QUICO in Omotesando.
It seemed better to call it Donburi not a rice bowl, but liked its thickness for some reason then bought 2 of them. All products were look same but different in size or shape so I chose most different 2.


Also I bought a bowl for tea ceremony.
I thought it might be impolite to use this for rice as daily meal but it was too nice to give up and I couldn't stop buying.




I use this tea bowl not only for rice but boiled food, fruit yogurt or salad.

These bowls gain my appetite even if I don't cook tasty. ;-P

Daikon & Chicken

I haven't cooked very much when I lived with my parents.
However, "Mom's taste" is in my blood and I cook what I ate in my home.
It seems to happen automatically.

Daikon (Japanese radish) and chicken is the best possible combination.

Sugar, soy sourse, sake, fish soup and sometimes Mirin (sweet cooking rice wine).
I learned that these are also the best possible combination when I started to live by myself and cook.

Nikujaga, Buri daikon, Kinpira.
It can useful for many receip, and the taste will be different if I change each portion.


Anyway, it seems I like to flavovre bit sweeter.
