Today's Cooking - Theme: 10 Vegetables

Top left: Breakfast menu (peach, pickled round radish (kabu), clam and tofu miso soup, nato and chives, mushroom cooked in soy sauce on brown rice)

Top middle: fresh from the garden cucumbers, white radish (daikon), carrots and cabbage in salt and fish powder, pickled for an hour

Bottom left: potatoes and chicken cooked in soy sauce and sugar

Top right: Sweet pork ribs with parsely fresh from the garden

Bottom center: freshly picked young okra and tomatoes, served with bonito flakes and soy sauce

Bottom right: hand made bread naturally fermented yeast made from rice (I did not make the culture, but bought it at the store).

Thoughts from today's menu: I like keeping my own little garden of mini tomato, parsely and cucumbers because most of these vegetables are best eaten raw and fresh. They are not so difficult to grow as long as you have good soil, enough sunshine and a little patient with harvesting.

For those interested in any of the recipes above, please feel free to contact me. Otherwise, enjoy the photos! More coming soon! :)
