japanese cuisine at home

the TM staff finally here to install and do the internet setting.....
exactly after 14 days of internet-less life at home.....

Had japanese dinner at home two weeks ago....
just realised that we like to experiment with food recently.....
we = me and my siblings...

the MENU

Side dish: Radish + marinated seaweed


the radish was used to make stock for miso soup.....
cut it in a nice cute cylinder and let it bathe in the miso soup to absorb the flavor...
the seaweed was bought from Japan months ago....hehe....

First thing comes into mind is sushi when think of Japanese food.....

Rolled sushi....
filling: crab stick + pumpkin.....

Prawn Rice Ball
on a piece of plastic wrapping....
put a piece of prawn then some rice on top
squeeze the rice to the shape of ball.....hehe....

don't know what is this called....
erm.......unagi rice?
for sure we didn't grill the unagi ourselves....
it was bought from Jusco....hehe....
rice wasn't plain rice....
it's cooked with carrot and mushroom...
then put the whole piece of unagi on top when it's almost done....=)

Our stomach full of rice that night......
full to the max..... (X.X)
it's not really authentic Japanese cuisine.....
but had fun cooking it....=D

Saturday cook

I am holiday-ing....
but I got a summer job....the chef at home....XD
working time: Monday to Friday
responsibility: prepare dinner for family
paid: none..... = (

bored of cooking chinese food...
prepared a different dinner on Saturday night...
made 4 dishes.....

Appetizer

Japanese cucumber slice with mashed potato on top
garnished with grated carrot.....
look cute right? hehe...
my sis said they look like 'siew mai'....lolz...


cheese stuffed mushroom
used dried mushroom instead of fresh one....
the mushroom turned out a bit too chewy.....
wasted the good quality dried mushroom....


made the pasta sauce myself....yum yum....
my fussy bro like it too.....=)

~Dessert~

Lemon Pie with meringue topping..

first time topping the lemon pie with meringue...
not very good in spreading the egg white....
but the meringue was a success.... (^_^)v
taste like marshmallow...

hmmm.......what should I cook next time??
