Sesame Noodle Sauce
I’m making an effort to cook for just myself, rather than noshing or skipping meals. Here is a simplified version the seseame sauce for noodles I’ve made in the past: I made a smaller recipe so I won’t be eating it for days and days, and I didn’t grind my own sesame seeds, added some spiciness because I was feeling hot (it was 85°F !!! —last week I had to scrape ice off the windsheild), and garnished the noodles with asparagus so this dish would be a complete meal and not a snack.

Chilled Somen with Mushrooms
The recipes I’ve posted for the last couple of weeks have been made with food from my pantry and freezer. I found a flank steak in the freezer, so searched for a Japanese recipe I haven’t tried yet. I found one in a book I’ve had for 25 years (but barely used), and began to think about what to serve with it. As I was flipping randomly to other recipes in her book, I saw today’s recipe in the “rice and noodles” chapter using hoshi shiitake no umani from my freezer.

Pork and Wakame Gyoza
Gyoza! This is another recipe, and it’s really good! The pork filling includes a couple of very Japanese ingredients: wakame and miso.
