    Nice mug. Typical dinner in our house tonight. Broiled Mackerel, Japanese egg, and soba noodles. Wasabi flavored nori (cannot get enough of this stuff) on the noodles and grated daikon with the egg. All from Japan except the egg which comes from a US based Japanese farm. Rare night with no rice, miso soup, greens, or pickles. This is why we rarely go out.

    That's the thing, it may look fancy, but its not. Throw the fish under the broiler and boil the noodles. The egg is an acquired skill but this took 20 minutes to make. It is all about the high quality ingredients. It is true that I am lucky to have access to Japanese ingredients, including fish from Japan. I guess the dishware makes it look fancy LOL.

    Strong. If it is not super high quality it is up there with bluefish as one of the fishiest fish. We are very picky about where we buy it. It took me years to finally enjoy it, which is also true for many Japanese "fishy foods" that most Americans do not like. But I now love it. Super healthy and probably part of the reason the Japanese have a longer average life span.

    Beautiful.
    Mackerel is such an underated fish.
    We have loads of fresh Mackerel here caught right off the coast, and they're sold for next to nothing.

    Two types of pork. Pork Patties and shoulder (thinly sliced). Both basically have the same marinade- scallions, fish sauce, garlic, sugar, pepper.

    Grilled over charcoal. I put the patties straight onto the grill, use a wire basket for the thinly sliced pork shoulder.

    I might have to look into this. My biggest complaint about where I live is that there are no Vietnamese restaurants that are less than 30 mins away and real ingredients are hard to find. I grew up in a place that had a vietnamese community and many restaurants. I crave it every day.

    I have been on a serious Turmeric kick since my Dr. told me it is really good for my health. I use it whenever I can, including scrambled eggs (from last week).

    I broiled 4 chicken thighs tonight.

    Does it get any more pathetic than that?

    Absolutely nothing wrong with that. One of my cheats is to broil thighs and baste with bottled Kikkoman teriyaki sauce (flipping often like they were on a grill). I do the same with bottled balsamic vinegar glaze. There are some additives and preservatives in the bottled sauces, but it is better than a lean cuisine or take out.

    You're welcome.

    I put it on my avocado that I usually have for lunch every day.  It's good for you but tastes like chalk in powder form, lol.

    I have put it on eggs too.

    Not sure where else to put it on?

    Obviously chicken, also rice. Maybe a pork loin, but I have not tried that - maybe some skewers. Maybe a white fish. I make a chickpea and black bean salad with it. Asian noodles. Roasted cauliflower, carrots or broccoli. Potatoes. I do not mind the powdered stuff, I really enjoy the flavor. I keep it on the top of the stove with the salt and pepper.

    I'll try being more bold with it.

    In cauliflower or broccoli sounds good.  I can do that.  We don't do much rice anymore so that is out.
