Lunch on Tuesday

05-13-08
My friend at work and I take turn and cook for each other since this week.
We had another friend to begin with and we have been cooking since March
or something. But she dropped out... Now 2 of us left and making some yummy meal for each other. One of my new-year resolution was to be able to gain more recipes in my cooking skill. Knowing myself, I was pretty lazy and
not achieving it for a while, but since those friends were doing this "project" early this year, I just had to jump in to this fun opportunity.

This time I made "Oyako-don". Oyako means parents and their child = chicken and egg. hehe Oyako-don is basically cook chicken with egg and put them over rice.
But I made it with pork this time because my cooking buddy can't eat chicken... boo...
It came out pretty good except the pork was a bit hard to chew... I needed to soak in
to sake for a little longer. I know now for next time. :)

Ingredient for 2 people:

1lb Pork
2 eggs
half of onion
5 shiitake mashroom
some scallion
-sauce-
2 tbl spoon soysauce
1 tbl spoon sake
2 tbl spoon mirin
salt and papper

Am I missing something? ... don't think so.

It's very easy to make actually.
Cut thinly on pork, onion, and shiitake mashroom.
Put those sauce ingredients in pot and boil them.
When they get boiled, you put pork, onion, mashroom in the
pot. You boil them until they are cooked.

While you are waiting on boiling, you beat eggs.
When you find the pork, mashroom, and onion are cooked,
you put the eggs in it. That's it!

You put that over rice, sprinkle some scallion and voil-la!!

I wished it was chicken... Chicken tastes so much better than pork...
Oh well.　

What's next lunchbox? Yakisoba!! on Thursday! Woo Hoooo!!

いつものお弁当の係の日がやってきました。
今回は親子丼。人生で２回目の親子丼です。結構むずかしそうだなーと
やらずに怖がっていたのですが、作ってみると１時間もしないうちに
出来ちゃった！これは簡単ということで、なんかまた近いうちに
作りそうな気配。。。友達がチキンを食べれないということで、
代わりにポークを使用。まー悪くない。でも煮すぎたせいか、ちょっと固くなった！
ごめんね、あやちゃん。。。
今度はやきそば作りますーーー。
