Japanese Dinner
I am a huge fan of everything Japanese. I love the culture, the people, the country (I have visited Japan twice), the cuisine, Japanese film, and I also speak and read a bit of Japanese. I also have Japanese in-laws (relatives by marriage)!
During my last visit to Japan, I went to Kappabashi (i.e., the 'Kitchen District') and bought all kinds of lacquerware to use in my home for when I make Japanese food. I'd love for you to allow me to cook you a Japanese meal, and serve it with my beautiful lacquerware.
For this meal we will have the following:
Mixed Greens Salad with Homemade Ginger/Sesame Dressing
Kinu/Silken Tofu with Wasabi, Tamari (gluten-free/low-sodium soy sauce) and Bonito (dried fish flakes) NOTE: If you are vegetarian I can easily omit the fish flakes in this dish...
Kabocha Squash Baked with Butter, Tamari and Maple Syrup
Cold Soba Noodles Served with Homemade Dipping Sauce, Chopped Scallion and Freshly-Ground Sesame Seed NOTE: The dipping sauce is flavored with some bonito/dried fish flakes, which are removed from the sauce before use.
For Dessert, I will have Green Tea Ice Cream with Red Bean Paste and Rice Crackers
