06-02 Tamagoyaki

This is an egg dish that is then cut up to put on top of sushi or in a bento (lunch) box.
It is basically a side dish of egg that you can then pair with anything. This is a 4 egg recipe but easily halved.

Beat together:
4 eggs
1 T sugar
1 t mirin (Japanese rice wine that can be left out, it'll just be a little flat on flavor)
1/4 t salt
1/2 t light soy sauce, but dark will work, it will just darken the eggs

Heat skillet to med-lo. Then brush pan with oil.
Put in 2-3 T of the egg mixture in pan and allow it to coat bottom of pan. Cook gently. When top of egg starts to set but is not runny or cooked all the way
(bottom will have cooked), gently roll the egg to one side of the pan. Add another 2-3 T of egg mix, lift the rolled egg so the new runny egg goes under it and repeat. This time roll the previous roll and newly cooked egg together in the opposite direction. Repeat, changing direction each time until all the egg is cooked. Be patient as the egg roll will become rubbery if cooked at a high temperature.
Place completed roll in sushi mat seam side down (or in parchment/wax paper) and roll tightly. Allow roll to cool across a plate before unrolling and slicing to desired thickness unless you are eating it right away.

Nicola's Fisk

 Cousins in Sweden served a fish meal that B really liked!  [That is a huge compliment as it's not her favorite protein.]  Nic makes it without a recipe so this is a general guide.  Layer a casserole with a bed of zucchini slices and add a layer cod pieces . Mix chopped flat leaf parsley (handful), softened butter (abt. 2 T), horseradish sauce (abt. 1 T) with a brick (8 oz) of cream cheese.  {It is easier if the ingredients are room temperature} Cover fish with sauce and bake for about 25 minutes at about 325-350 degrees [Swedish measurements are not equivalent]  Thin sauce with milk if needed. Serve with new baby potatoes baked in butter and dill and salt.

01-25 Dad's Quick Italian Meatballs

Mix 1 lb lean ground beef 2 eggs 1 c Italian bread crumbs 1/2 c spaghetti sauce (more or less, see how it looks) The longer you mix/beat them, the more tender they will be Form meatballs and bake at 350F about 12 minutes Use in meal immediately or freeze for later Put in spaghetti or any pasta will work. Meatball sandwiches would be good too!
