quick and lazy meal tonight - asparagus risotto (Trader Joe’s) with shrimp and side of french green beans.
May look bland but very tasty and simple. 1 cup dry (but cooked) Quinoa, 1/2 chopped white onion, 1 can organic black beans, 1 1/2 cups homemade salsa mixed together.
Tonight’s dinner. A little mix of Japanese and Korean.
Starts off with Ikura (salmon roe) over rice with some Tsukemono (picked vegetables).
Main course is Soondubu (a spicy soft tofu stew) and of course…beer
Dang everyone’s lunch looks so professional. I target a healthy lunch but it ain’t pretty. I pack it up and stuff it in my lunchbox. Lol
@Minty_One That looks delicious. Reminds me of all the Japanese food I ate while living in that wonderful country. Are you a fan of NattĹŤ?
Oh no no no no no no…lol. I eat almost everything in this world…except natto . I don’t care how good it is for you. I’ve given it a try multiple times in multiple ways and I just don’t like it. Do you?
Insert mom joke here
Ha! Yea, I used to hate nattĹŤ with a passion. Then I went on a week long ski trip to TĹŤhoku and it was served every morning. I was so hungry I forced myself to eat it. Now I love it.
I did discover a brand that is surprisingly tasty (pictured below). My favorite way to prepare it was to add a little spicy sesame seed oil, thinly diced negi, and a raw tamago (stirred into the hot gohan) then scoop it all up with nori. Totemo Oishi-desu
What is natto?
(I could google it, but I’m lazy right now)
@Scheherazade It’s a staple breakfast food in Japan made from fermented soy-beans. It is very gooey. I have often heard it described as snotty boogers.
Most people with soy allergies can eat it though as the fermentation process removes the enzymes that cause soy sensitivity… Just a random fact for y’all
I had 2 lunches today
Frontega chicken from Panera. I was still starving 2 hours later so I ate rice and a small piece of salmon.
Wife had a pasta dish with bacon for dinner
Mmmm, I think the texture might be a turn off there!
I had a day out with my sister today and had a burger AND dessert at lunch - regretted it during my run later.
