Yeah, many of you know that I am convinced that US food is just bad (gene manipulation, hormones, yadayadayada), and eating out is even worse. I found my own way to get around it … I cook my lunches myself and freeze them. I tried a new recipe – Japanese style – and thought I should share it! It’s easy and really delicious and your roommates will love you.
Ingredients for three lunches:
– 2 cans (2x100g) sardines or 1 can (400g) mackarel
– 1/2 onion
– 1/2 big cabbage (fresh)
– soy sauce, pepper
– 2 cans green beans/corn or peas
– 3/4 cup cooked rice
Recipe (in a big pan!):
– fry the cut onions until they’re glassy (soft)
– add cut cabbage and fish, fry until cabbage is soft and tastes well
– add soy sauce and pepper until it tastes good
– mix remaining ingredients
So I did it and that’s how it looks like:
The 1/2 cabbage – before murdering aehem cutting!
The onions *hmmm* – I did both recipies (mackarel and sardines at the same time)
Done!
And you’ll have this nice fishy smell in your kitchen (and the whole house if you did it right) which will also stay for several days. And even better, when you re-heat the stuff, it’s going to smell nicely fishy. So people told me that they smelled my food in the second floor of Lindley hall. My colleagues will love me soon ;-).
A note on US apples: *ARGH* why do those people have to wax fruits? I guess to cheat on the customers! I bought 5lb apples, waxed (there were no others) … and they are brown inside! Man, and the bag says: “Meets or exceeds US extra fancy standards, Product of USA”. Extra fancy? Yeah, they have this shiny effect – great :-/.
