Seafood Paella
Curry
Salad
Yakko tofu
I wanted to use leftover Nikujaga from couple of days ago.
I could have make either Croquettes or Curry...
Felt little lazy today, so I made curry instead. Less work :)
Here's the recipes of the day:
Curry
Leftover Nikujaga
Water---3 1/2cup
*Curry roux---1/2 box (Japanese brand)
1) Put all the veggies and meat into a pot.
2) Add water and some carrots (I forgot to put them when I made Nikujaga).
3) When it comes to a boil, turn off heat, then put Curry roux.
4) Mix thoroughly.
Seafood Paella
I got this recipe from my best friend in Japan.
Every time I go back to Japan, I visit her. She always makes lunch and dinner for me. I learn new recipes from her every time I see her.
This recipe is so easy, it's like making Rice Roni from scratch!
Rice---1 1/2cups
Orange roughy---1 fillet
Shrimp---5
Green and orange bell peppers---1/6 each (julienned)
Tomato---5 thin wedges
Onion---1/2 chopped
*Water---2cups
*Bouillon---1 cube
*Saffron---several strings
(or substitute, 1 tsp curry powder or turmeric)
1) Heat up water in a pot, then add bouillon and saffron. Set aside.
These are Saffron strings. If you can't find them in the grocery stores, use turmeric or curry powder to get the color in the rice.
2) In a large pan, cook onion with a 1/2 tbs olive oil, then salt and pepper.
3) When it's half way, put them on the aside of the pan, cook shrimp and fish.
4) When the seafood are almost cooked, take them out onto a plate to set aside.
5) Put rice into the pan. Mix well with onion until well cooperated on a high heat.
6) Add Water mixture (stock), mix well, then put a lid on. switch to a low heat.
7) Cook for 20minutes, put vegetables and seafood onto the rice.
8) Turn off heat, set for 5 minutes before serving.
My son thinks he really doesn't like onion.
But there were a lot of onion in the rice tonight, he didn't noticed. Again.
It's like the hamburger patties I made a couple of Weeks ago. If I don't tell him, he can eat them. If I tell him what's in them before he eats, he gets fear...
What is up with picky eaters???
Well, I've got a lot of leftover curry for tomorrow now...
What will I cook with it?
Stay tuned... :)
Picture of the day:
This is a picture from last year when I went back to Japan.
I went out to a Yakiniku restaurant with my family. mmm...
Maybe I will go back this year again :)
Thinking of Japan makes me think of many many good food over there!!!
