During the party last week one of the teachers asked us what kind of food we usually cook for dinner, and I replied that we eat mostly Asian food, but a lot of Japanese food. Kuniko laughed and said that we don’t eat all that much Japanese food at all, and I realized that maybe there is a kind of Japanese food that she wants to eat that we haven’t had much lately.<\/p>\n
I went to the drawing board this weekend, and I think I’ll make a few more traditional Japanese dishes this week if I get home before Kuniko (our rule is that the first person home is in charge of dinner). <\/p>\n
While I do cook a lot of Japanese food like various nabe soups, somen, udon, miso soup, takikomi rice, and Japanese curries and stews – I don’t usually make the traditional stuff – like boiled fish and vegetables (nimono) and tempura and yakisoba. When it comes to stir frying I usually make Chinese or Thai style, and I’m not a big fan of boiled things as the main flavor usually ends up being the soy sauce. <\/p>\n
So this week I’ll try some other things, and see what the reaction is. That is, if I get home before Kuniko.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
