Going back to taste of home. It’s always the best dish to reheat. I’ve been lazy to prep in the morning, so I made everything last night.
We just bought 2 new pyrex container, with steam vent on the lid. Perfect for reheating in microwave. Guess what, I forgot to take my orange and cucumber out before reheating.. mm.. so I got a luke warm orange.. not a good idea.
Last night, I put mapo tofu and mixed veggie in the bowls. In the morning, I reheat rice, mapo tofu, and pan fry burger. It took about 20 min to prepare 2 set of bentos, for me and my hubby.
* I prepare the burgers ahead, freeze them. In the morning, all I need just pan frying.
Left overs from today’s dinner and the day before.
*Stir fry broccoli, mushrooms, and egg tofu in oyster sauce; spicy eggplant (using Gochujang – korean hot pepper paste).
I miss the one taste of eggplant from Baiso. It’s kinda spicy but it has a sweet after taste. I am guessing they’re using Gochujang and some kinda syrup. It came pretty close, but not quite. I think I miss ground sesame. I’ll try again next time and see.
I don’t shop on clothes or other stuff. My shopping craze is all about bento. I searched my area, been to LOTS of asian supermarkets (hoping to find bento items), driving my hubby nuts, absolutely nuts.
Can you blame me? They’re super cute and beautiful! A lot of people say I’m crazy, being so obsessed on lunch, spending so much time on lunch. I bet everyone who has a hobby or passion in something, they’ll go for it and they’ll spend money and time that seems crazy to others. It is my way of stress relief method.. I found myself very relax in the kitchen.
Another quick one. Left over noodle from chinese takeout, spam, fruits, I cook thick omelete and teriyaki balls.
Just boil beef/shrimp/crab imitation/squid balls (anythign you have). Throw in a pan with a bit oil, to brown them a bit, then add teriyaki sauce.. Tada.. if you want to make it fancy, use a cute toothpick, make it looks like satay. Of course you need to find a good teriyaki sauce.
