doroyaki at home

Part 2 from last nights dinner>
Kimchi cheese risotto
We had this at a restaurant once. Kimchi cheese risotto. The kimchi fried rice came in a claypot & had a layer of melting cheese over. It was a really good combination since the cheese mellowed down the spicy kimchi quite a lot and made the whole pot of rice so tasty and easy on the stomach on the whole.
With the remaining of last nights kimchi hot pot soup, added rice, an egg, topped with some kimchi & slices of cheese... hmmmmmm....... mini luxury for breakfast

We had doroyaki (not dorayaki the redbean pancake) for dinner tonight
We both love okonomiyaki & monja, and when we first tried doroyaki at this hot plate restaurant in town called nanpuu, woohoo~ its a blend of okonomiyaki & monja!
doro means melt in your mouth. yaki means teppanyaki grilled.
So doroyaki is this omelette like pancake that really melts in your mouth.
We dont have a hot plate at home, so the large frying pan came in handy.
Added eggs & water to the doroyaki premix (yes, they started selling this at the supermart last month!! a collaboration between nanpuu & a company that makes such premixes).
Made 2 kinds.

mentaiko cheese mochi
pork slices & leeks
Both were dipped in nice hot broth. (soup powder came in the package too!=))

And like how we always have in the restaurant, caesar salad.

I think the teppan (hotplate) at the restaurants makes a difference.
Plus the amount of oil they use too. cos J n i immerdiately noticed the difference in the degree of melt in you mouth.
But it was good. guilt free. \(' ')/
