Spaghetti Sauce from Trader Joe's

Friday night's dinner was spaghetti. Everybody's favorite and easy to make!

I used this sauce from Trader Joe's

Usually I put onion, garlic and sausage in it.

and add some of this basil pasto also from Trader Joe's...

Noodles are also from Trader Joe's. I mix whole wheat noodle about 10%

This tool that I got from some junk mail actually comes handy.

-------------------------

I found this recipe from Japanese magazine called ""ESSE" Jan 2014.

Chicken breast tends to be dry. The magazine says this recipe doesn't let chicken dry up. In the U.S. people seem like prefer breast chicken than dark chicken. I guess in Asia it's opposite. I was looking for more recipe that cooks breast meat nicely and it was a success.

I have never made piccata but heard of it. I guess it's Italian recipe, but I guess this is Japanese version.

Mille-feuille cutlet with vegetable stir fry

What are you gonna eat tonight? I ate Port cutlet with vegetable stir fry and brown rice.

I tried a new recipe from Japanese TV because it looked easy and delicious.  I used frozen thin sliced pork. Paste mixture of beaten egg, flour, salt and pepper on the meat and coat with bread crumbs like this.

and cooked with 50cc of vegetable oil. The TV recipe says needs to cook only for 5 minutes but it took nearly 30 minutes! This is called mille-feuille cutlet. I guess thin layers looks like mille-feuille pie.

Nice. But I wonder it will be enough for 2 adults and 2 kids..

I thinly cut carrot, asparagus and garlic.

pour some stir fry sauce from Trader Joes.. Sour and sweet.

With yesterday's left over brown rice and hand made kimchee by Korean neighbor. It was a nice dinner again.

Yesterday's dinner Omelet Rice & Miso Soup

This day's dinner was Omellette Rice. (O mu le tsu in Japanese)

Under thin egg layer, there's fried rice.

I made with asparagus, green onion and sausage (nitrate free.) I used brown rice.

My husband doesn't like rice, especially brown one. I had to make potato omelet with cheese. The pic above is before I flip the omelet.

With Japanese probiotic soup, miso soup. Bon appetit!!
I use PTFE and PFOA FREE non stick frying pan.
