Goto udon

got Goto udon noodles from someone who went back to Japan, and added beansprout marinated in garlic and sesame oil &sesame with raw egg.
Thats all I did, but it was unpredictably extremely good!!!
raw egg in itself kind of becomes a sauce that enhances other flavors in a rich creamy way.
so easy, SO good!

chicken cream stew

today started bright and warm, but then took a quick turn and became rather cold and chilly...
Hence! chicken cream stew!
i made a mountain of it, but noticed how my boyfriend dislikes carrots so picked out all of them and ate it myself... it's good, but not that great when you eat a bag full of baby carrots stewed at once!

easy cheesy BBQ fondue

this, I think is pretty genius!!!
I'm sure i've seen it on cookpad before, but just recently was reminded of it by a very outdoorsy friend who told me how cheese fondue is best to do outdoors cus the smell wont stick to your kitchen walls.
this is extremely easy; carve off the top of brie cheese, place on aluminum foil and put it on BBQ grill till the cheese melts!! eaaasy peeesy :)

random

I haven't been too good posting recently, and now that I sit down and try to look for things to post, it's simply because I have nothing too exciting to write!
Here, I note my random leftover lunches and bar food dinners...
summer rolls that my friend brought over the other day.  He has this extreme fear of becoming hungry, so always walks around with extra food- but he is one of the skinniest people alive.  This day, he wasnt hungry and left this at my place, so lucky me, I got to take it to work for lunch! and it was great!

Goto udon yakisoba.  at Umi no ie, one of their specialties happens to be their goto udon noodles served either with soup or cold broth, but I wanted their Fujinomiya yakisoba, which they hadn't, so they made yakisoba out of goto udon specially for me!! SO, GOOD!!!

ahhh, good ol' Habitat wing tuesdays!! 25c/wing and ate 10? while everyone else prob had 6 or so each, still its $2.5....and really good wings!!! one of the best things in Green point.

This is the ultimate "i dont want to tell my mother i had only this for lunch cus she's going to move in with me to cook" lunch.  I didnt have time to go buy lunch, so made do with things that were handy... hey, they're all good! just not the ideal lunch set...

birthday risotto

to be specific it's post birthday but in my mind its going to be my BD for the entire month!
anyways, this risotto is a creature of beauty! labor of love! whatever you want to call it, ITS FREAKIN GOOD!!!!
the soup was a gift from my friend Yuji who is the force behind the amazing Yuji ramen (god please can he just start his own restaurant asap!!) who made it as a result of intense three hour stewing of veggies and red octopus and pork..... the soup itself is to die for!!!!
the gelatin in it becomes this gorgeous golden pink that frizzles once refrigerated.  I just added cream and rice and its as good as what angels eat in heaven (my version of heaven at least). 


the chicken was also amazing! Thank you Yujisan!!!

one egg, divided into two, united in my tummy...

i made this spaghetti with natto and egg yolk mixed with salty combu that i found on cookpad.
It's a great thing! but I just hated how i would waste the egg white, so i made egg white miso soup to accompany the spaghetti, utilizing the entire egg and taking in lots of soy beans!!
