Was craving taiyaki today...
So i whipped out my taiyaki maker!!!
and tada~
5minutes on each side, and lots of patience when spreading the batter onto the mould

Just how i like it, very crispy on the outside, and filled with lots of anko (red bean paste)

Since i had red bean buns at home, decided to try and squeeze 2 of those onto the mould. hehe looks funny.

Thanks to the vegetables of the season, our lunch boxes have been really bright too!

aonori tamogoyaki, capsicum kinpira, wakame salad, and ginger shoyu roast pork slices topped on white rice


Tried a new recipe for my lunchtime at home.

Aonori carrot noodles

I just cannot resist the smell of aonori. this seaweed is used in the animal biscuits that i used to eat as a child, and even now, when i open a pack of the biscuits, i cannot help but finish the whole box.


Aonori carrot noodles is not really noodles, but long carrot strips made with the vegetable peeler.
With a whole carrot,

1/2 tbs olive oil
1 tbs white wine
1 tsp vinegar
1 tbs shoyu
salt & aonori

Quickly stir fry the carrot strips, add the white wine and the condiments.
Fry for half a minute and dish out when done to prevent the strips from becoming too limp.
I added some pork bits into this dish. but they are optional.


Dinner was a recipe from Harumi Kurihara that i picked up from tv this morning
Prawn cutlets with grilled pumkin slices with...

heart shaped tomatoes! the whole pack of tomatoes were round except for this one =P
Pretty~

And with a whole lot of vegetables in the fridge, made salt style rataouille again.
Tossed in chopped carrot leaves too this time




Cant wait to make more taiyakis@@
