Recommended #HomeCooking Blog: “Sesame Takana & Spicy Cod Roe Butter Spaghetti with Stir-Fried Pork, Cabbage, and Onion”
Yesterday for dinner on Recommended #HomeCooking, I had a meal of Sesame Takana & Spicy Cod Roe Butter Spaghetti with Stir-Fried Pork, Cabbage, and Onion.
I could have simply eaten the leftover stir-fried pork from lunch with rice, but I decided to make spaghetti as well.
It’s not that I dislike rice, but I usually want to eat some kind of noodles at least once a day. So I made the spaghetti on the spur of the moment. This time I used 1.6 mm spaghetti. Of the three different spaghetti sizes I had, this was the last one remaining. It was my first time trying this thickness, and it was pretty good.
I finished the last of my mentaiko (spicy cod roe) with this meal. Since I really enjoy mentaiko spaghetti, I’m thinking about buying some more.
This time, I simply placed butter, mentaiko, sesame takana, and a small amount of mayonnaise on the serving plate first, then added the freshly boiled spaghetti and mixed everything together.
It’s a very simple recipe, but surprisingly delicious.
I used to mix everything in a separate bowl, but some of the mentaiko always stuck to the container and went to waste. So I decided to mix everything directly on the serving plate instead. I think this works much better.
It’s not shown in the photo, but I mixed rice into the stir-fried pork before eating it. That turned out to be delicious as well.
Overall, it was a very satisfying meal.
I also asked an AI what it thought about this meal.
Lately, it seems that AI has become someone I can chat with.
At Recommended #HomeCooking, I enjoy gyoza from time to time, but the way I eat them has changed over the years.
A long time ago, I used to make gyoza at home from scratch. Later, I switched to buying frozen gyoza. These days, I usually buy freshly prepared gyoza from the deli section of my local supermarket.
From the perspectives of cost, convenience, and taste, supermarket gyoza has become my favorite choice.
I also became curious about how most people in Japan enjoy gyoza, so I decided to ask an AI for its insights.
At Recommended #HomeCooking, I make curry quite often, and one of my favorite ways to enjoy it is as katsu curry—curry served with a crispy pork cutlet.
This morning, I used a tonkatsu I had bought a few days ago to make the katsu curry toast shown above. For some reason, eating katsu curry always gives me a great sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.
I looked back at some of the katsu curry dishes I’ve enjoyed in the past.
As shown below, I’d like to introduce a few of them.
