Karl’s Japanese Salmon Rice

Another of my leftovers lunch recipes for one. I had about an ounce of teriyaki salmon left over from the night before, as well as some cold Japanese rice. This is a common Japanese leftovers dish, but I did not look any of them up. I just threw together what seemed reasonable to me. To go with my rice, I decided to make some teriyaki chicken wings and I threw in some Japanese pickled cucumber as my salad.

Karl’s Teriyaki Chicken Wings

I was making salmon rice for lunch, but I had very little teriyaki salmon left. I decided that I would supplement the meal with some chicken wings. A simple teriyaki sauce and sometime in the oven and presto—lunch.

Karl’s Salt Pickled Cabbage with Japanese Chilies, Kyabetsu Shio-zuke Tsukemono

Japan has many Tsukemono, literally “pickled things.” When my father came back from Japan in the fifties, he introduced my family to Japanese cuisine. One dish that he learned to make was salt pickled cabbage (kyabetsu shio-zuke; キャベツ塩-漬け ).

Karl’s Japanese Coca-Cola Braised Pork

I love Japanese pickled vegetables and I frequently get the urge to make them. The day before my Sunday dinner I started to make a bunch. Sometimes the side dishes lead you to the main dish, rather than the other way around.

Karl’s Miso Pickled Cucumbers, Misozuke Tsukemono

I had the urge to make Japanese pickles this week. There are many types of Japanese picklesTsukemono—and I am on a quest to learn them all. This week it was misozuke, miso flavored pickles.

Karl’s Yosenabe II

Jan’s friends are coming to town for the Quilt Festival, for me this means several special dinners and this year Jan has ordered a special breakfast. For the first meal on Friday I decided to do a fish stew. Most of the European stews were out, because Barbara doesn’t like tomatoes. Japanese Yosenabe seemed the obvious choice.

Karl’s Japanese Cucumbers Pickles with Lemon and Ginger

Jan’s childhood friends are coming to town for the Quilt Festival this week end. I am planning to make a Japanese dinner on Friday night, so I decided to make pickles. I went to the Japanese store for supplies and thought why not have Japanese tonight.

Karl’s Lemon Japanese Cucumber Pickles

Note: Today, I am posting a new pickle recipe. I was planning to refer the discussion I had made in this post, but when I got there the cupboard was bare, I found that I had forgotten to post the recipe. While this recipe produced a satisfactory pickle, the lemon flavor simply did not come through.

Karl’s Barbecued Chicken Teriyaki II

Eilene is having friends over tonight and one of them is a picky eater. If it is not Vietnamese or sweet she will not like it. I would make pho, but it takes a long time to make the stock. Jan suggested that she would like chicken teriyaki.
