Originally, my mom uses thinly sliced pork, but I know thinly sliced meats are not available in some countries, so I sliced the lean chicken breast! And it came out really yummy!!!



BTW, I never cooked or helped my mom when I lived with her, so actually, when I cooked for the first time was over 20! haha

Anyways, enjoy ;D

SAKE HALL HIBIYA BAR

On Saturday, my darling and I've been to SAKE HALL HIBIYA BAR in Ginza (after the Hello Kitty Art Exhibition).

My darling said he found the restaurant on the newspaper. His choice was perfect. I really loved the idea of enjoying sake in many ways :)

Not only the cocktails but also their foods are made from sake (sake lees)!

Enoki Bacon - Video Recipe

This is my favorite food that my mom cooks at home. At my home, we eat it with ponzu sauce which is a citrus-based sauce. It is very tasty and refreshing, so please try it out in this way if you have never tried it! It's a great recipe for bento, too :D

In this tutorial, I use Lékué (pronounced LAY-KWAY) Silicone Steam Case. Lékué is unique because it is made from 100% pure food-grade platinum silicone, built to exceed FDA standards. It's microwave, freezer, dishwasher and oven safe up to 260C (500F) degrees.　It costs about 50 bucks in Japan but becoming very popular these days.

Another popular product released this year (in 2011) is jelly ponzu (ハウス のっけてジュレ ぽん酢). Jelly ponzu can be spread on anything while traditional ponzu runs over.

Of course you can use ready-made ponzu, or I will show you how to make ponzu sauce from scratch.
