We’ve had so many nights of elaborate food...

we decided we need to give our bodies a break.

Breakfast today, instead of the usual fried curry buns,
curry bun inspired onigiri (rice ball)
curry onigiri topped with cheese and breadcrumbs and baked

Lunch was fried rice with lots of vegetables and scrambled egg like tofu
When i dont feel like having eggs, i make this scrabled egg looking tofu which tastes very very close to eggs and we can have as much as we like without worrying about egg yolk overdose =)
Basically just tofu, scrambled in a frying pan, mixed with some miso and salt, and pumpkin flakes (or turmeric powder to give colour)

And dinner was...
Grilled chicken and spinach burgers with mashed potatoes
and seaweed salad by the side

The chicken patties were amazingly soft and juicy, and i think the mashed lotus root i added helped a lot.
For 2 persons
ground lean chicken 200g
spinach 200g
lotus root 150g
half a large onion roughly chopped
black sesame

Blanch spinach, squeeze off water and roughly chop.
Wrap lotus root in microwave wrap and microwave at 600W for 4min. Grate with a grater into a bowl.
Mix everything together in the bowl, and 1tsp salt and some pepper, and grill on medium heat for 13min.
Drizzle with shoyu to serve.

I feel autumn breezing in already~
