Japanese Dinner Menu

I made another Japanese themed dinner last night. I’d swung by the local Ranch 99 for some produce. As we were cruising the aisles a bit, my daughter spotted some chicken in the freezer section. It was thinly sliced, seasoned, and threaded on wooden skewers already. So we picked up that, some fried tofu (arsu age), some spinach, some daikon, and a few juice drinks for her lunches. She especially likes the chrysanthemum tea. 😉

We started with a miso soup, very close to this soup with daikon, tofu and shitake mushrooms, but I added a bit of miso to it at the end and used the fried tofu rather than the firm tofu.

I served some rice, the grilled chicken skewers, and this spinach steeped in broth.

No pictures, sorry. It’s always harder to stop and take them when we have guests!
