Stir-Fried Dried Squid and Vegetables (NO Knife! Kitchen Shears) - Video Recipe

We received some dried squids when we visited the nearby shrine for our son's Omiyamairi (the first shrine visit) and my darling's Yakubarai (ceremony to drive away evil spirits). I decided to make a dish out of them.

You don't need a knife but use kitchen scissors / kitchen shears!

Of course, you can use regular squids.

Stir-Fried Cabbage Neapolitan (Napolitan) - Video Recipe

Do you know Spaghetti Neapolitan (Napolitan)? It is Japanese-style spaghetti seasoned with ketchup. It is very popular home-cooked dish in Japan. It is nothing related to Italian spaghetti "Spaghetti alla Napoletana" or any other pasta using fresh tomato.

I hope everyone can get sake and mirin (sweet sake) since they are necessary for Japanese cooking and I use them very often! Of course you can skip them but they really make the foods taste better. hehe
