Feb 1 Menu

It's a lot more difficult than I thought to get back into the swing of the menu again - I've been spoiled with my in-laws in town for the past two months. On top of that, our move to Belmont has required some commuting adjustments between my wife and I - resulting in her beating me home sometimes - which means she gets to yield the chef's knife. So, we're settling into a nice rhythm and the menu will reflect both her and my tastes.

Monday - Fish Teriyaki Over Rice

• Pan fry some fish filets (can be lightly coated with salted flour).
• Add teriyaki sauce either while in pan, or heated and drizzled over fish (I prefer it in the pan) http://offthebroiler.wordpress.com/2006/04/29/we-dont-need-no-stinking-bottled-teriyaki-sauce/
• Serve over rice.

Tuesday - Gyudon

• Start out with dashi http://japanesefood.about.com/od/soup/a/aboutdaashisoup.htm.
• Now proceed to putting together the gyudon http://japaneserecipe.blogspot.com/2006/05/beef-bowl.htm
• I'm keeping this short because by now you know we make this one often.

Wednesday - Tobiko Bibimbap

• Dice spinach, mix with rice, add tobiko.
• Drizzle sauce - put onion, carrots, apple, soy sauce, and olive oil in a blender and puree.
• Garnish with fried egg.

Thursday - Pasta and Clams

• There really is no recipe for this. You take Trader Joe's Garlic Clams and put it over some pasta - we like linguine and fettucine.
• Add some salad with beans.

Friday - Take Out

• Pizza? Bon Chon? Roddee? The options are almost endless because we don't have gogi tacos!
