i baked my first bagel today.
the shape is nice, but the surface was a bit ugly.
i wont post the pic today cos it will b in J obento tmr.

anyway, today at JunAki kitchen,

Breakfast

freshly baked pão de queijo (brazillian cheese buns)

In Japan, it is called Pondekeshon and is quite popular.

i used mochi flour so it had a really chewy texture inside.

J obento

black pepper pork cutlets with cheese stuffing, cucumber salad with balsamic dressing, and sweet potato raisin mayo salad

sliced up bagel toasted into croutons for my snack time

Dinner

sauteed tofu and vegetables, in Chinese style sticky egg sauce
高野豆腐あんかけ

sauteed mountain yam with seaweed and bonito

長いもの海苔おかか炒め物

Mountain yam, called yamaimo, is one of my favourite root vegetable. Unlike the usual taro which is light purple and quite heavy, yamaimo is refreshing and crunchy. When grated, it has a becomes sticky and gooey. I love it over soba =)
