Kao-fu and glistening rice

3-31-2013 Sun. chilly, rain. 


WEEKEND BREAKFAST --- coffee |  scone | apple | sage bread | Norwegian goat cheese
AFTERNOON-TEATIME ---  tea
DINNER --- sauteed mustard green with minced garlic | simmered kao-fu with bamboo shoots, wood-ear and maitake mushroom | glistening rice | wine 




 
  • take time to cook the rice properly in Japanese way: wash for 5 minutes, then souk for an hour. the actual cooking time on stove is shortened to 15 minutes, then rest for 10 minutes.  It makes huge improvement on texture and apperance.
