My dinner tonight.

The rice over there is brown rice cooked with soy beans and red beans.
I love beans. 

Star fry them with heated Sesami oil.
After a while, you cover the pan so that these are steamed and it can bring out sweetness of these vege taste.
Once it cooked you put soysource, milin(sweet sake) and sesami seeds and cook it untill all the water is gone. 

I got a spring vege.

Today, a farmer brought us a taste of spring. It's "Ha Gobou" (Burdock Leaf. The green one is it's stem).
I am gona cook this with Carrot, Mashroom and Age(fried sliced Tofu). 

This is my dinner tonight

The Komatsuna, Avocado, Miso soup with tofu and spinach and rice. 

How to cook???

1. Put sesami oil and heat the pan up. (If there is no Sesami oil, you can use other vege oil. But definitely better with Sesami oil.)
2. Put cut greens and Age and fry it.
3. Put a little water (1/4cup is enough) and Dashi powder.
4. Put soysauce and Mirin (Sweet alcohol) and cook untill it gets like the pix above. (or little more)
If you like sweet taste, you put more Mirin. If you don't like sweet much then put less Mirin.
