Spicy Stir-Fried Zuchini and Carrot

29Oct08

This recipe is a re-do of a recipe in my project-book, which demonstrates how a vegetable not usually found in Japan, can be cooked in a Japanese way. The original recipe uses fennel, but I had a nice zuchini! Why not?

Spicy Stir-Fried Fennel and Carrots

09Aug08

This recipe demonstrates how a vegetable not usually found in Japan, fennel, can be cooked in a Japanese way. Fennel is not a vegetable I cook very often, either. A few days ago, Mr. Tess bought some fennel, but I don’t remember how I used to cook fennel, so it’s fortuitous that my project-book includes a recipe. Whoever would have looked in a Japanese cookbook for a fennel recipe!
