My Accomplishments

Hi! I am finally listing my accomplishments in November.

On 11/4, I won the special prize at at Yodoran (iodine-enriched egg)'s contest. I made dashi based curry soup with an egg.




On 11/23, my Creamy Christmas Tree Salad using Takanashi's fresh cream was posted on Cookpad as a sample recipe using fresh cream. To make it creamy, I mixed avocado paste and fresh cream in mashed potato. Then mixed smoked salmon, cream cheese, and corns for the ornaments. The recipe was also printed on the recipe card!


On 11/25, my Egg Stir Fried Tomato and Ashitaba won the idea award at ashitaba recipe contest. Ashitaba is a green leafy vegetable, containing antioxidant flavonoids (chalcones) and is rich in amino acids, vitamins and minerals ( A, B, B2, C, B12, Iron, Potassium and more), chlorophyll, enzymes and fiber. To tell the truth, it has a strong scent and scum, so it was hard to cook X( Have you ever tried it?! BTW, the iseebi I posted the other day was the prize!!!

Also, on 11/21 I received a prize for participation at green lemon contest and peanut contest.

As usual, I won some samples. Seasoning for rice with green tea, mannnanhikari (rice shaped konjac food) sample, and GABAN dressings.

Could be better... I think I need to try harder X(

All the best!!!

My Accomplishments

Hi! As predicted, it's a rainy day today. But luckily the temp stays high at 70F (21C).

Finally, I will briefly list my accomplishments in October. Somehow, not many, though...

On 10/5, my "Okonomi Chikuwa Fries" won the calcium chickuwa award. I stuffed ingredients for Okonomiyaki (Japanese savoury pancake) in chikuwa (Japanese tube-like food product made from ingredients like minced fish). This chikuwa contains 300mg of calcium per stick!



On 10/5, my Sweet Potatoes won the highest award and my Teriyaki Chicken Meat Loaf won the outstanding performance award at blue agave syrup recipe contest. Blue agave syrup (agave tequilana syrup) is a natural syrup made from agave plant that is an important economic product of Jalisco state in Mexico. It is said to slow the rise in blood sugar. BTW agave means honorable in Greek.

On 10/7, my Banana and Apple Brown Sugar Okara Cake won the highest award at okara powder recipe contest. Okara is bean curd refuse. I combined it with banana and apple to make it healthy with a lot of fiber!





On 10/16, my Healthy 5 Colors Chinese Rice won the gold award at mannanhikari recipe contest. I believe jose loves this product. By cooking the rice with mannanhikari, you can save calories (up to 30%)! Mannnanhikari is a rice shaped konjac food. Amazing, right?! It's sticky texture was perfect for Chinese rice dish!


On 10/18, my Tuna Egg Sandwich Picks, printed on a bento brochure, has arrived!






On 10/26, my Alaskan Cheese Fries Melt won the highest award at KRAFT's cheese recipe contest. The recipe is simple. I fried avocado and cheese wrapped with smoked salmon. It's slightly salted and delicious! Sprinkle them with lemon juice for a refreshing taste!



On 10/31, my China Bread Rolls received a prize at ANDERSEN recipe contest. This year, I just received a prize, but last year, I attended the cook-off final!

I don't know which of my recipes won the prizes, but on 10/5
I received a prize for participation at oillio recipe contest. On 10/17, received an honorable mention at apple art recipe contest. On 10/21, received a prize for participation at beef contest.

Last month, I didn't apply a lot for samples, so I just received curry nabe broth, assorted fruits, and cleansing cream.

Hope I have a better luck in November.

Make the best!!!
