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

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. :\

In-n-Out Protein Style Burger!

I am so happy with this lunch! I wanted something fresher with some greens. We have lots of veggie patties in the freezer too haha.  Then, I remembered we had an extra In-n-Out sauce packet. Lettuce, tomato, grilled onions, swiss cheese (no American in the house)... but I forgot about the mustard -_- Anyway, I am so happy with this. It was so good.

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.
