For lunch today, since we were iced in and not going anywhere, I made some katsu chicken, using thinly sliced chicken breast instead of pork loin in tonkatsu recipe. The chicken was just a bit thicker, so I needed to microwave the pieces for a minute at the end, ...

Dinner tonight was some tonkatsu (Japanese breaded pork cutlets) with Bunashimeji, aka brown beech mushrooms, stir fried in a little sesame oil, and a little green salad. A nice balanced meal :-)

This recipe comes from my local Central Market. They often have recipes near their weekly specials, and this one was a real winner! The only thing I changed was using about 1/4 tsp of dried red pepper flakes instead of whole dried chiles, as I could not find ...

Dinner tonight was Galbi (Korean grilled flanken cut short ribs), roasted zucchini, and roasted chanterelle mushrooms. The chanterelles are in season here in the northwest and these were locally foraged :-) Good stuff!

A quick and healthy meal tonight: stir fried teriyaki chicken, savoy cabbage, and broccoli. I heated a little canola and sesame oil in my wok, added the sliced cabbage, stir fried for a minute to brown, then added water and steamed for another 2 minutes to wilt, then removed ...

This was a decently tasty meal for me just winging it. I didn't like this teriyaki sauce as much as my usual version, but it wasn't bad. The peas were from my CSA box, and I steamed them for about 6 minutes to get them just crisp-tender. ...

This was a very quick and easy light dinner for a rainy evening after a beautiful weekend! The mushrooms can be replaced with fresh, or even omitted if you aren't a fan, but I like the subtle umami flavor that they add.
