wow! baby!!!

I'm having a morning sickness...terrible...

Yep, I'm expecting.

I can't sit in front of PC for a long time. Because morning sickness gets worse and worse.

This is 'Buri-Daikon' , stewed yellow tail and Japanese radish.

It's very popular dish in winter. I have a pressure cooker. I can cook it very quick, easy and tasty!

But I have a big problem. I can't stand the smell of a fish now...(+_+)

natto miso soup

Do you know 'Natto'-sticky-gooey-stinky traditional Japanese food??
However Natto is very healthy food.
Here, Natto miso soup!

Ingredients

• 1/6 burdock root (slice thinly)


• 3cm Japanese radish (quater it then slice)


• 1 aroid 1 (halved then slice into 5mm)

*You can replace them with any root vegetables

• 1 teaspoon sesami oil


• 21/2cup water


• 2tablespoons miso


• 50g Natto


• 1tablespoons ground sesami(white)


• some green onion (sliced)

1. Heat pan then put sesami oil.


2. Stir-fry vegitables.


3. Add water. Cook until soft for 10 min.


4. Add miso, Natto and ground sesami


5. Pour the miso soup into a bowl. Sprinkle sliced green onion and Shitimi-to-garashi(powdered capsicum) if desire.

that's so easy!
Using miso is the key. Because the smell of Natto becomes milder.

Thanks for your comment, Grammy!
I'm afraid it will take a hell of a time to translate all recipes into English.
Because of my poor English skills(:_;)
Anyway, I'll try! It'll be my practice.

I used some Japanese millet. It may hard to get them out of Japan.

How about Tatsuta-age? Well, I'll try to explain it another time.

My first blogging

Japanese don't eat typicalJapanese food such as 'sushi, tempura, teriyaki etc ...' everyday.
Here, our today's dinner.

• rice cooked with chestnuts
• fried burdock root and carrot miso-soup
• chopped cucumber, shredded carrot and shiitake mushrooms marinated in soy sause and sesamioil
• stir-fries of dried strips of Japamese radish and raisins and tomatose, season with curry powder
• stir-fries of sliced zucchini

My son loves chestnuts one! But it's hard to make preparations, especially peeling!!!

I won't cook it for a while ...maybe...
