This sauce goes well with any meat and many vegetables. If you leave out the cornstarch it is also a good marinade. This is my variation of the sauce my mother, Claudia, used in the 1950’s.

Karl’s Japanese Chrysanthemum Greens with Sesame Dressing
I am making teriyaki tri-tip for Memorial Day. I want a Japanese vegetable side, besides all of the pickles I made. Chrysanthemum greens are an unusual vegetable that I discovered in making my Yosenabe.

Karl’s Teriyaki Shitaki Mushrooms
Miriam and Chris love any kind of mushroom. I saw some fresh shitaki mushrooms while I was buying my Chrysanthemum greens. I decided that they would be perfect for barbecuing with my teriyaki sauce.

Karl’s Tsukemono
Tsukemono means “pickled things.” The Japanese make many different pickles in many different ways, from a quick pickled cucumber that in ready to eat in one hour to Takwan— whole pickled daikon radishes that take months to ferment. Most Japanese meals include some form of pickle.

Karl’s Fresh Pea Soup
I had planned to make a fresh pea and rice dish for Miriam’s birthday dinner yesterday. After I had bought the peas, she told me she really didn’t like peas. Not a problem, Jan and Eilene love peas, so I agreed to make them fresh pea soup.

Karl’s Lamb Kofta Hand Wraps with Three Sauces
Miriam wants lamb for her birthday dinner, but because of her TMJ she would like tender meatballs (kofta). Variations of kofta are found over most of the Middle East, the Balkans, and throughout Central Asia and India. Miriam has asked for one of the simpler ones with various sauces.

Karl’s Kefir, Lime and Mint Sauce
Miriam was specific on what sauces she wanted for her kofta. She wanted a sauce with kefir, mint, and lime. The recipes on-line were either too simple or had way too many ingredients. I wanted something that was cooling, clean, and fresh.

Karl’s Pomegranate Chili Sauce
Miriam was specific on what sauces she wanted for her kofta. When I looked up recipes for pomegranate chili sauce, I did not find any that really appealed to me. I decided to go whole California fusion on this one. I know the kids like Shiracha and two weeks ago Jan and the kids bought some pomegranate syrup. The syrup is already a well balanced sauce, so simply combining the two seemed just the ticket.
