attempting easy meals

With K sick, and me feeling off (and grumpy) I didn't want to do too much for dinners, esp nothing that needed time for prep, so attempted to make some easy meals for the rest of the week.


Thurs Feb 4th: Dinner

While I had planned on pasta, I remembered there was some soba that we didin't eat at NY, so decided to get rid of that first. And also, my first attempt EVER at making かきあげ....hmmm?!?

Soba noodles with かき揚げ (carrots, onion and cabbage)


Weiner and Shiso in wantan wrappers - borrowed from Nay (I have been wanting to try this for ages!! It was yummy, but I almost fried the bejesus out of them by putting them in the tempura oil (trying to save on dishes and oil, yikes!! )



Fri Feb 5th: Dinner

The umeboshi we are totally taken with at the moment - how YUMMY are these! I can eat 3 at one sitting, if J let me.....We buy these for about 400yen at the local supermarket, but apparently (well, according to J) the proper Kishu Umeboshi are at least 1000yen a pack, or more.


More leftovers and easy bits including:
* もずく
* 冷奴
* 鮭の西京焼き(the other pieces I defrosted the other night but diidn't feel like eating myself)
* 肉団子 with sweetish sauce (leftovers from our nabe party ages ago - had to be used up!! Nice! I don't recall ever having eaten these before, def. not at home.)
