Because Pixelfed does not (yet?) what I want it to do, here another food post on this account.

Yesterday we had a Japanese style meal with many dishes. Most of this was easy.

We had miso soup with a few bonito flakes which changed the taste completely, that was yum.

Then some grilled mackerel from a tin, wakame salad (bought frozen), pickled beets and ginger, and a little kimchi just because I found the tin in the storage drawer and I thought it would go (it did!).

The one thing that took a lot of time and effort was the Inarizushi (tofu parcels) which I had bought on a whim. I filled them with seasoned sushi rice mixed with chopped shiitake mushrooms. Preparing the rice was fine but opening the tofu bags to stuff them was really stretching my patience and a lot of them ended up with holes. 😬 But funnily enough when we were eating the parcels they stayed together very well, much to my surprise, and they tasted really nice. I don’t think I ever had inarizushi before, not sure I will ever volunteer to make it again, but it was a nice dish that I would eat in a restaurant at any time.

Taking good photos was also a challenge as it was such a rainy and dark day and my kitchen (which normally gets loads of daylight) needed lights on. The last photo is with daylight only and the colours look much better but I was too hungry to retake all the other ones. 😅
