I actually added a bit finely diced mushrooms to it, and I liked it. Maybe the salmon I got wasn't too fresh, as it had a hint of fishiness to it. I'm wondering what I should use next to time to cover up the fishiness, maybe a bit more sake?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8421337.post-1163829762798760942006-11-18T15:02:00.000+09:002006-11-18T15:02:00.000+09:00Hi Obachan!

Here's a picture of the sake I always buy home. :) http://lys-ithea.blogspot.com/2006/11/sake-i-liked.html<BR/><BR/>I find it extremely difficult to cook for myself only. Either I'm not inclined to do so being too lazy or I just don't know what to cook. I'm really impressed how you can always cook for yourself and the food looks so pretty too! :)<BR/><BR/>Cheerz!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8421337.post-1163691400322307602006-11-17T00:36:00.000+09:002006-11-17T00:36:00.000+09:00love sake, esp those with strong fungus flavorslove sake, esp those with strong fungus flavorsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8421337.post-1163664096452698732006-11-16T17:01:00.000+09:002006-11-16T17:01:00.000+09:00Hi Obachan,I can't shed any light on the shironegi...Hi Obachan,<BR/><BR/>I can't shed any light on the shironegi. In Australia they would fall somewhere between what we call leek (which is tighter layers and stronger flavour), and spring onions ( like aonegi). I love shironegi - especially in nabe/sukiyaki. They have a deliciously sweet oniony flavour, and the flavour goes well in the dishes I mentioned!
