08-18 Sukiyaki

Pronounced "skee-ya-kee"
This is the dish where we put all the raw ingredients on the table with the electric wok and cook and eat them as they are ready. But you can make one serving using your cast iron skillet on the stove.
Start rice in rice cooker. Then beginning preparing your vegetables - any or all of the following:
thinly sliced zucchini or yellow squash
thinly sliced or julienned carrot
thin onion rings
thinly sliced sweet potato
green onion
bean sprouts
etc.
Then prepare:
cubed tofu or tempeh
thin sliced beef - top sirloin or "shabu shabu" or pork

Heat skillet over high heat, add a bit of sesame oil or beef fat.
Sprinkle pan with 1T sugar, then when its melted, add 2-3 T shoyu (soy sauce).
Cook raw meat first, do not over cook. Remove and place on plate with cover.
Then add in veggies and tofu. They will cook quickly, add to covered plate.

Water from the veggies will dilute the sauce so add a little bit of sugar and/or shoyu as needed.

Traditionally you eat a raw egg on top of a bowl of rice and place your veggies and meat on top.
But you can just serve them on the rice since you don't know where your eggs came from. =)

Mexetti Squash

So I wanted to use the spaghetti squash but I wasn't in the mood for the usual Italian meatball pseudo-spaghetti. I also wanted something just as quick and easy so I browsed around on the internet and got an idea to use Mexican flavors. Here is what I served everyone tonight so we can remember it. There are no real measurements since every squash is a different size. Cut a spaghetti squash in half and remove the seeds. In a microwaveable dish, place one half skin side down so it can be filled with: cooked, cut up chicken diced Hatch chiles zucchini, chopped finely red bell pepper, chopped finely onion, chopped finely OR onion powder sprinkled on top Sprinkle it all with a little salt, pepper and cumin and shredded Jack, Manchego or other cheese Pour some enchilada sauce over it all. Add some heat with salsa, chile powder or whatever you like or not. Cover and cook- I microwaved a large half for about 15 minutes The smaller half only took 10 minutes. I served i...

Rainy day Farro with chicken

     This tasted really good on this cold and rainy March evening.  I still had Farro (an Italian wheat cousin with more nutrition than brown rice) in the cupboard so I searched around for farro recipes and came up with this version. Your dad wants to eat it again (and me, too) so here it goes down on record.  I didn't really measure the ingredients so I will do my best to come up with good estimates. Sprinkle generously 1/2 - 1lb cooked chicken in large chunks (off a rotisserie chicken works well) with oregano, salt and pepper and drizzle about 1 Tb apple cider vinegar & ! Tb canola oil  over it & set aside. I think warming it a bit will help the flavor soak in the chicken but it isn't necessary. Sauté 1 large colored bell pepper, thinly sliced 1 med onion, chopped 4-5 cloves garlic, minced until glossy and softened Add in 1 1/2 c uncooked Farro, rinsed 2 1/2 c chicken broth 1/2 t cumin powder 1/4 c sun dried tomatoes in olive oi...
