chicken and eggs

Hellooooooo! I've introduced Egg shell art last time, but I'd like to introduce you one of the famous Japanese dishes with eggs. It is Chicken and eggs bowl. Japanese call it "Oyako-don". Well, actually I'm a kind of lazy person so I will cook it with magical sauce... hehe

Ingredients:(Serves 2)
2 Eggs (beat them in advance)
Japanese soup stock (called "Dashi" I often use this because it fixes taste.)
Chicken (Cut them into mouthful size)
2 Onions (Cut them into slice)
(Sugar----if you like sweetened one, it's better to put some)

*Magical sauce* (In the middle of picture above.)
a sauce in witch to dip soba! (It's called "Soba-Tsuyu" in Japanese. This sauce is including soy sauce, a little bit sugar and things I need to cook Japanese dish so I like it! I often use this when I cook food boiled and seasoned. )

How to cook?
1st step: put a little oil and saute until brown.

2nd step: Add onions and heat them like this.

3rd step: Add a teaspoonful Japanese soup stock and mix them.
(When I was cooking this, I'm not sure why, but I was carried away by a sudden impulse and added a Peanut butter instead of sugar... haha The peanut butter is made in Japan and it's quite sweet and no chunk. It's not like Skippy)

4th step: Add magical sauce and simmer for a while.

5th step: Turn the gas a little bit down and add beated eggs and simmer for seconds.
(When you put eggs, try to put them slowly and like draw a circle. @@@@@)

MISSION COMPLEEEEEEEEEEEETE!!!!!!
Put what you cooked onto white rice and let's say "Readyyyyyyy!!!" :) If you tried this, please let me know how it was and if you have any question about this recipe, also leave a comment here. I will reply you ASAP. :)
I learned this recipe from my mother. She is quite smart and know how she can cook dishes easily and quickly. I am now training myself to be a good someone's wife and a mother like her.

Food or Art

Heyyyyyy!! Listen to my grumble!! Recently, large amount of assignments are killing me. I think I need to hang out somewhere! Take me away someone!! haha Anyway, let's start one of my hobby. ;) It is important for human beings to eat vegetables because they contains minerals and vitamins. Salad is one of the good way to take in nourishment. I like Salad and here is a picture of salad I ate today.

Egg, cucumber, ham and potherb mustard.
It was delicious! Today's blog, I will forcus on just Egg. Egg? We can see egg whenever and wherever. Egg is quite common food in our lives and it is famous for easily digestible food. People often eat it with ham, sausage or a slice of bread in the morning. However, on the other hand, Egg is beautiful, artistic and limitness. Here is the evidence for it...

The Eiffel Tower!

A beautiful carrage!

Egg shell art
These are all made from Egg shell. It is so beautiful isn't it? Egg shell is usually junk. People through it away because they never think it becomes one of the art. Some people may not think so because they have Easter day, but I think most of Japanese people do not recognize Egg's possibility. When I found this art, I thought "There might be another thing that I can eat and also create something".
Egg shell art is very nice anyway! I'd love to try it! Japanese, especially girls love to decorate things such as phones, mirrors, nails and even an electric dictionary so I believe they can make marvelous egg shell art if they try it...mmm...

Does anybody wanna try this? If you do, let me know! Now I am looking for an Egg Shell Artist who works with me!!!
Thank you. :D

Rooooooooll cake!!!

Hellooooo! Here is a cake eater!!!! hahaha :D
Recently I am eating cakes everyday because my boss allowed me to bring some cakes back to my home with freeeeee! That's seldom happens though... It is like a dream. There are cake, cake, cake, cake...inside of the fridge. It's crazy!!! Actually, I've already eaten most of them. It may be time for me to think about DIETING!!!!! ewwwww...

This is the cake that I ate today. We usually call it as "Roll cake", but in English the name is "Swiss roll" and in French, "Roulade". It is interesting that one thing has different name in different country. Today, I will write about the origin of this cake. The roll cake we eat in Japan is originally from Swiss so in English name is Swiss roll. Roll cake was brought in Japan with other sweets such as castella in Edo era.

Look! This is a character called "Ku ru ru". I found this on the internet site. There is a Roll cake study group in Japan. omg... Moreover, there is a special day for Roll cake and it is June 6th. The reason why 6.6 is the cut end of the cake. You can see 6! Yes!!!! You can!!! Can't you? No, you can probably... For me, it seems like "no, の"　in Japanese. haha Do you know Japanese food that the origin is Roll cake? Most of the Japanese know and eat it in new year! It is one of the Japanese traditional food... That's "Date-maki"!!! It's surprising fact, but "Date-maki"'s origin is Roll cake! Now a day, there are various kinds of roll cake in Japan such as Matcha, Fruits inside of it, soybean flour flavor and even "Anmitsu". (Anmitsu is a Japanese traditional sweet and it is bean jam, agar and pieces of fruit served in syrup) What a creative!! I'd like to try some of them.

That's all what I've found about Roll cake. Did you have fun? If you know anything about swiss roll, please tell me. :) I like to eat not only cake, but also knowledge. ;p

Thanks!
