Tonight im doing mixed vegetables and sliced meat all done on a wafer thin base of bread served with lashings of bolognese sauce.
Or as the real me calls it frozen pepperoni pizza

[Anpanman]

Roast beef sandwich.

[ETC]

Git! As in katsu curry or katsu-don?

I love a good donburi. The breadcrumbed meat, rice and egg is a mean combo!

Damn, I've only got steak pie and a jacket potato.

wagamama so not too exciting was decent though

See, I thought you were doing it yourself.

I'm heading to London soon and will pop into Tokyo Diner for a nice katsu-don and their amazing teriyaki chicken side dish.

Good eats!

Heh heh, yeah happy days.

I certainly won't be copying the wife & daughter who are out there at the moment by eating those baby sardines sprinkled over their rice.

Hey & enjoy the doramas while I'm gone!

Just to keep this message on topic, all being well today for my tea I'll be eating a Vegetarian Oriental Meal courtesy of Emirates.

Topped off my gastro delight with homemade rice pudding. Mmmmmm, had the last of it this morning for breakfast.

[Kieran76]

Big fan of good rice pudding, it is easily in my top 10 puddings of all time.
Spent the afternoon gettting the ingredients for my weekend attempt of Chicken Katsu, I plan to make the sauce from scratch but have bought a jar just in case. Will have to track down the breadcrumbs tomorrow.
Tonight I am making pasta with courgette sauce and spinach balls.

[Kieran76]

Made the chicken katsu and it was ace. I have even taken a photo which I will tragically put on the forum later. It is a winner all the way. Had it with coconut sticky rice and and some pickled chilli chinese cabbage.

[importaku]

Spooky as thats what i made today as the curry blocks needed using up, Turned out pretty good if i say so myself. However i put loads of veg in the katsu as i don't like it as a runny sauce like wagamamas do it.

Tadaa (lol yes i do take pics sometimes if it turned out pretty well, lol sad iknow)


Because i was already in full cook mode i also whipped up some Takoyaki, only way i can get to eat them as lets face it, Leeds is pure **** for japanese food. Hell i have never seen Takoyaki on the menu anywhere in London for that matter,

In the pan cooking


All finished with toppings Mmmmmm

[Kieran76]

Looking good, what are Takoyaki? Some dort of dumpling?
Here is my creation, I went for a smooth sauce so I seived it before serving.

[importaku]

likewise that looks pretty tasty, never tried it with pickled cabbage before that sounds nice i might have to give that a whirl.

Yup Takoyaki are little balls of batter that are fluffy inside, in each one theres a tiny bit of octopus. On the top of them is okonomiyaki sauce (tastes a bit like ketchup/soy/woucester sauce combined), powdered seaweed, bonito flakes & mayonnaise. The flavours all combined together give an amazing taste.

Theres a fantastic youtube channel called cookingwithdog, that has taught me a lot of japanese recipes including the katsu curry one & takoyaki. Theres a lot of different things they have made & the videos are easy to follow.

Heres takoyaki


Heres katsu curry

This thread isn't fair! We are due to get our big monthly shop in a couple of days, so my supper is likely whatever I can scrape together out the freezer

[kernow]

Massive pasta bake for four people with 500g pasta, 1.5 jars of sauce (no I'm not making it can't be arsed), carrots, sweetcorn, brocolli, meatballs, chilli, onions, and a huge mozerella ball all over the top, and loads of black pepper.

One of the only things I can cook knowing other people will definitely like it.



It'll look better cooked I promise, what you can't see is that the dish is about 6 inches deep, this thing is a mammoth. Do I really need garlic bread on top? Yeah better do.
