It is very often that we come back home quite late from work, starving and tired. In that case I like to prepare what Japanese call a “one plate”. It is usually a composition of several unrelated elements all combined in one plate. In some restaurants the one plate can cover from starter to dessert!!! I don’t go that far, but it is a nice way to fix rapidly something for dinner.
* Saboten (http://www.ghf.co.jp/saboten_rest/) is a shop that sells “katsu” in various forms. They have a lot of veggie: asparagus, potato croquette, edamame, and porc: tonkatsu, hirekatsu… They are made on the spot, ingredients are chosen carefully, menu changes with season and they are always yummy. They have a few antenna shops in town. Since I never fry at home, it is a good option once in a while, and I know some that are always happy with these, but it means leaving work no mater than 21:00, if not there’s nothing remaining…
