Fluffy tofu omelet

I am extremely picky on the quality of the food we eat and I find it ridiculous to want to eat absolutely meat or fish at every meals or everyday. I’m more inclined to cook a really fresh and delicious piece when I find one and skip it the rest of the time. Lot’s of people curiously worry about proteines intake but not about vitamins or other as much important nutrients. I care about none because I know that what I cook is perfectly healthy. I’m a vegetarian that eat sometimes a bit of cooked white meat or fish. And I’m an egg lover!

Eggs are perfect from breakfast to dinner, they can be prepared and combined in so many ways that I could cook them differently pretty much everyday!! So when I found myself with a bloc of momendofu in my fridge, immediately I though about a delicious fluffy omelet for dinner. The tofu always needs to be drained for a better taste so never skip that part. In a bowl I put the tofu and 3 big eggs, a little of salt and pepy and I mixed until it took some volume up and started to foam. In a large frypan I heared s bit of vegetal oil and cooked on both sude the omelet. Then cut and serve with steam veggies.

Pretty much every morning on my way to the lab I stop by the local supermarket to buy me something for lunch. Usually some fresh veggies (avocado, tomato, rucolla…) to eat raw in my sandwich or with some pasta-rice-seeds, and a fruit for my snack in the afternoon. After the season of tangerines, I wanted some different citrus fruit and found beautiful iokan. So yesterday I got myself this kind of big tangerine that looks like an orange but not as sweet. And this morning when I was at the cashier the lady explained to me that she owed me 52yens because yesterday she mistakenly charged me for an other citrus fruit. I was really impressed! Not that she misrecognize the fruit, but that she absolutely wanted to reimburse me!!

Back when I lived in France, I remember there were oranges of a few sorts, pomelos, grapefruits, tangerines of two or three sorts, then lemons and limes, cedrats and a few other variations quite difficult not to identify immediately. Arriving in Japan I discovered a whole new citrus fruits variation. Of course there are the now famous and trendy yuzu, but there is really much more than this. The variations vary with the different regions and I am sure not to have completed the exploration, if it can be completed! I don’t even know where to start from with dekopon, iokan, natsu mikan, hassaku, kiyomi, shikwasa… All are delicious with a typical taste and smell, and most grow at different time of the year. They can be used in different preparations or just peeled and eaten like tangerines.
