Tamagoyaki

Japanese Omelette. Known to be on the sweeter side.  I followed the recipe, but next time I will keep it more savory. Usually a rectangular pan is used, but I didn't want to go out of my way to get it.
Recipe

Must keep oiling the pan after finishing each roll. (linked recipe shows good pictures on oiling)
Pour more batter, make sure to lift the rolled egg to get it under bc that will help prevent the egg from browning and getting burned.
Repeat, repeat, repeat.

Finally figured out the wide chopstick technique on my last flip.


Mirin and Light Soy Sauce. So when you buy Mirin (Japanese cooking rice wine).... if are a stickler, you really need to look at the ingredients. Many have high fructose corn syrup. If you can't find it, I've found this substitute:

Add between 1 and 2 tablespoons of sugar to 1/2 cup of white wine, vermouth, or dry sherry to replace 1/2 cup of mirin

Vegetarian Meals

Before my trip, I had a fun pot luck with my girls I made Jackfruit BBQ pulled "pork" Homemade Coleslaw dressing After returning... went straight to my sister's for Thanksgiving... Turkey, ham, pumpkin pie, etc etc. First cooked meal at home: vegetarian jap chae with Zoodles and Carrot Noodles with my new spiralizer. Augh, I don't know why my pictures don't show up on some posts... but I am too lazy to fix it AGAIN. :\

Bunch of cooking and baking

Making pumpkin brownies Recipe here All that turned into this. Honestly, the flavor was really good but coconut flour in this recipe gave it a kinda dense, chalky texture. Def would use regular flour instead. Always. Watching. Just fed up that I wouldn't give them some brownies Food haul? All my TJ goodies. Chocolate chunks were to make these with some leftover coconut chia muffins.  Love this stuff. It's muop xao hanh la tom. This squash is what luffas are made from. I love it sauteed with green onions and shrimp. Seasoned with a little fish sauce. My mom mainly makes it into a soup which is really good too. Day old rice is the best to use for fried rice. Really quick one with celery, grated carrot, egg, and soy sauce

Roasted Cauliflower

An all time favorite.  My father in law is a quiet man, but we know when he enjoys something.  One day, I just chopped up a cauliflower, tossed it in olive oil, paprika, salt, and pepper... then threw it in the oven at 450F for 30-40 min until nice and browned to your liking.  The next day, he brought home 2 cauliflower heads.
