More gorgeously simple food =P

Tri coloured don for breakfast
Natto, cucumber cubes and scrambled pumpkin tofu topped on rice, drizzled with shoyu.

Gentle on stomach dinner
Nonbutter Carrot soymilk potage, corn rice,
Bonito flakes stir fry. Broccolli with soybeans, sakura prawns and shimeji.
We brought back a kilo of these beautiful prawns from the wet market in Wakkanai.
600yen for 1KG!!! this was not the only eyepopping price we saw. i almost wanted to buy the whole wet market.

Black black stir fried burdock.
This is was my favourite of the evening.
Black sesame paste stir fried burdock
1 burdock, cut into thick strips
2 tsp black sesame paste (or black tahini)
1tsp miso
1/2 tsp brown sugar
1tsp shoyu

Stir fry burdock in some olive oil or sesame oil till fragrant.
Add the codiments dissolved in 1 cup of water, cover and simmer on very low heat for 10min.
