1 tbsp. milk
salt and pepper
((Saffron Rice)) *of course, the curry can be served with plain, unflavored steamed rice.
1 package Curry Partner Saffron Paste
6 servings (1020g=2.3lbs.) cooked rice
((Decoration))
3 sliced American cheese
3 nori sheets
12 raisins

Directions:
((Curry))
1. Mince the onions. Roughly dice the potato and carrot. Cut out 6 triangles from red bell pepper for teddy bear noses. Cut and save 6 strips of green pepper for teddy bear mouths. Roughly dice the rest of the peppers.
((Hamburger Steaks))
1. Put ground beef and pork, salt and pepper, Panko (bread crumbs), and milk in a bowl, and mix well by hand until all ingredients are combined and smooth.
2. Divide it into 12 patties. Heat 1 tbsp. cooking oil in a frying pan and lightly saute the teddy bear noses and mouths, and set aside. Then in the same frying pan, cook the hamburger steaks to desired doneness.
((Curry))
1. Heat 1&1/2 tbsp. cooking oil in a large stew pot. Add onions, potatoes, and carrots, and stir-fry them until slightly coated with oil.
2. Add 850ml water, bring to a boil, remove the foam, and turn the heat down to low and cook for about 15 minutes.
3. Turn off the heat, break up the curry roux into the pot, and mix well until completely melted. *make sure you stop the heat when you add the curry roux, otherwise it won't blend well.
4. Then add green and red peppers, and put on low heat and simmer for about 10 minutes until it thickens.
((Saffron Rice))
1. Place cooked rice in a bowl. Add Curry Partner Saffron Paste while the rice is still hot and slice through it using a rice paddle to separate the grains.
((Decoration))
1. Serve curry and a round piece of saffron rice and a round piece of sliced American cheese. Place hamburger steaks centered with round pieces of sliced American cheese to make the ears. Place raisins for eyes, red bell pepper for nose, and green pepper for mouth.
2. For the hat, make a circular cone shape with rice and wrap with 1/2 nor sheet. Then place a strip of sliced American cheese.

*for best results, don't use a lid while cooking.
*curry and rice is best eaten on the day it's made but if you have any leftover, store it in the fridge and finish it on the next day, but it is not recommended.
*if you have leftover curry roux, wrap in a plastic wrap and store it in the fridge and use within a week.

2nd Wedding Anniversary



10/10 was our 2nd wedding anniversary. It was a weekday, so we didn't go out that far, but we decided to eat out.

When I found my darling, he was with some cute flowers XD

We have been living together for more than 9 years but he hasn't changed at all. How sweet :)

I'm not a flower person, but I love to receive it on a special day! I feel like a princess. hehe

Temari-Zushi (ball sushi) is a ball-shaped sushi made by shaping sushi rice and fish into a ball by hand using a plastic wrap.

Avocado sushi rice is pretty tasty and it goes great with smoked salmon. I hope you like it!
