Apparently we can catch some signs which Winter has passed a baton to Spring.
The stormy wind was blowing over night on Saturday.
It was foggy and hazy around Yellow Sand with wind afar from China to Japan. The photo bellow isnt clearly colours but as if we were in the yellow world
After hours through the strong wind,
we had clealy beatiful blue sky and much sunshine.
Look!! SAKURA is blooming!!
During days called ' higan 'the spirits of ancestors are recalled, Buddhist rites carried out and family graves visited too.
So our family gathered together in memory of my mother.
I made chirashi Sushi. chirashi sushi is for cooking at home.
Maybe some of you want to know the recipe? :)
Directions:
Cook rice rather hard
3 cups rice and 3cups water
[ sushi vinegar]
60cc of vinegar
2tsp of sake
3tsp of sugar
a bit of salt
toss the vinegar sauce
mingle together, but remember! do not knead-this is the important tip-just need to train :)
you mingle as cutting with rice paddle
add to something what you want -vegetables or seafood
we like to put into carrots ,mushroom, tofu. Chirashi sushi is the mother taste of each family or each region. anything OK I guess. Perhaps grapefruit some sour ingredients
and then 3eggs
be carefully and thinly
here it is
Isnt it even gourgeous?
you might image like as a rice salad
Today we get sunshine too!! Spring has come at last!!
Have a wonderful spring week!!
Mami :-)
