Given the busy-ness, I've only been able to throw together two quick meals. Here's dinner last night, salmon I made and some sashimi my husband bought.
As well as miso, rice, and daikon pickles, I also served broccoli stir-fried with ochagara (leftover green tea leaves). It wasn't the best, but I actually think if I make the ochagara I've been eating in the morning, that would make a good stir-fry for broccoli or other green vegetables. I'm going to try it, maybe tomorrow?
Tonight I made a minced pork sauce that I put on top of simmered daikon. I topped it with chopped scallions and daikon sprouts. It was pretty good-my husband went back for seconds, which is always a good indication.
I liked it. I think I may make this again at some point.
I was planning to make abura-age (fried tofu) broiled with cheese, but when I got out our abura-age it was covered in a brilliant variety of molds. I'd already gotten everything else prepared, so I served the cheese with chopped scallions and stewed prunes. It was actually quite good. The cheese and onion combo went over very well, although my husband didn't care for the prunes. American prunes are kind of tough, on top of which I used very, very cheap red wine to simmer them.
