Veal Soup ~ Chikuzen-Style

16Oct09

http://1tess.wordpress.com

I’d encourage my readers to give taro a try! I made Chikuzen-ni in July, and we were so impressed by the way the taro added a lovely smoothness and slight thickening to the soup that J. was inspired to make a beef stew in August. The other day I saw some veal shoulder chops on sale, and it occurred to me that I could make the Japanese recipe but substitute the veal for the traditional chicken.

Stir-Fried Liver and Chinese Chives 2

When I prepared this recipe last year it had been years, perhaps decades, since I’d eaten liver. I remembered liver as tough and flavorless, but the recipe is in the book, and my plan is to eventually cook all the recipes. My husband was out of town so I wouldn’t have been subjecting him to [...]

Hiyashi-shabu no Goma Dare

22Aug09

Again I’m repeating a favorite summer recipe from the past. This meal can be prepared ahead of time. Prepare it in the morning while it is cool, and cooking is not unpleasant; or cook the beef, cut the fruit and vegetables, then chill the sauce for a dinner to host without stress. The colors of the fruits and vegetables arranged on a serving platter are stunning.

These burgers are wonderful! And I almost didn’t try them! Who wouldn’t like a burger seasoned with miso and onion, glazed with soy sauce. You will love these Japanese-style “American” burgers. Guaranteed!
