T-bone Steak

 

This was a big steak and easily feed three of us. Mom and I shared tenderloin part. Shinho had the rib part. Vegetables are green beans with sesame dressing, potato salad, spicy coleslaw and roasted cauliflower.

Rock Fish in Spicy Sauce

 
I found rock fish in my freezer and it was going to expire. I think it better to cook with something strong flavor. I made sauce with minced garlic, ginger, scallion, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sake, brown sugar and a little bit of red chili pepper. It came out pretty good.

All Asian

 
Main is Chinese, shredded pork and green bell pepper. Two of side dishes are Japanese, scrambled tofu with vegetable and deep fried eggplant in tempura sauce. I also made two Korean sides, spinach namul and spicy cabbage.

Hamburger with Daikon Oroshi

 
In Japan we eat hamburger without bun. It is more like individual meat loaf as we add sauteed minced onion, bread crumb and egg to ground beef (often combination of beef and pork). I put grated daikon radish (daikon oroshi) on the hamburger and poured tempura sauce over. That makes hamburger taste light and refreshing, I think.

Oyster and Tuna

 
 
Shinho bought oysters on the way home from Grayland yesterday. He stopped at Westport to explore the town and found oyster farm. They were very good. The best oyster I have had here so far. Wonderful appetizer.

Today's main dish was tuna steak with wasabi avocado salad.

Mostly Vegetable

 
 
 
I used up most of the vegetable I got from my friends, but I still have some.
The celery has beautiful dark green leaves like I have never seen at the grocery store. Less than a half part is stems. I wanted to use beautiful green. I chopped it and sauteed with bacon and seasoned with soy sauce and mirin.


Next one is broccoli with beef.





The last one is zucchini scrambled egg.

Korean Dinner

 
 
Today's main was Bulgogi (Korean barbecue beef). I used thin sliced tritip. (I love my food slicer.)Bulgogi tastes best if you grill the meat on the charcoal grill. At home pan fry is the easiest way to cook the meat.





Side dishes are nira leak pancake, spinach namul, green beans with sesame sauce, marinated sesame leaves and kimpira gobo.
