Quinoa bowl

A pure bowl of yumminess! With quinoa simply boiled, baby leaf salad, diced avocado and dried salted konbu (shio konbu – 塩昆布), and the juice of a local lime for a late Friday evening dinner in the country. I love shio konbu, it accomodates very well with Japanese and non Japanese dishes. It tastes slightly like salted licorice, and I am still imagining ways to use it in my recipes.

Thick pancakes

In my quest of an ever changing breakfast menu, I decided to try to make soya flour thick pancakes. It is as simple as making soya flour pancakes but the fluffiness obtain with the thick layer of dough is really changing the whole experience. For this recipe I used a mix of white flour and soya flour (only soya flour makes a strange consistency), 2 eggs, 1 pack of baking powder, a bit of brown caster sugar and a bit of salt and water. After stirring well all the ingredients, in a greased heated pan I form the dough in metal circle and cooked at low heat until the top is almost not moist anymore, then fliffed the crumpets with the circles and cook a few minutes more. Delicious with any kind of topping!

Vegetarian late dinner

Sometimes (often) I don’t have much time to prepare dinner so I really like to prepare sautéed fresh seasonal vegetables (carrot, lotus root, potato, okra), and this time I accompanied them with a fluffy tofu omelet. Yes fluffy again, after yesterday’s pancakes recipe!

In a bater I mixed 3 eggs and a block of silky tofu roughly drained, and beat well. I cooked it in a frypan under cover at medium heat both sides until golden.
