So...
Yesterday was post-free. I had to return to work a mere 8 hours after my 12-hour shift, and although I did eat Japanese food, I didn’t post about it. I came home and feel asleep.
Don’t judge. ^_^
But, my Japanese-In-A-Pinch was: udon. Instant udon, too!
I bought these noodles knowing I’d probably need them at some point during the two weeks. Because I like to be well rounded, I packed my little pyrex container with some torn bok choy leaves, shitake mushrooms, nira chives, and diced extra firm tofu. It took me under two minutes to shove that in the container, grab the udon package, and steal some Pocky on my way out the door.
Once it was dinnertime, I pulled my container out of the fridge and added the udon noodles. These noodles are very thick and soft. I love them! I used hot water from our water cooler and continued to cook the noodles in the microwave for a few minutes before adding the chicken broth packet. The shitake flavor blended with the nira and chicken packet, and the tofu was so creamy…
Instant udon is so simple – like giant ramen!
Once it was all stirred all together, according to custom, I made sure to slurp my noodles. The girls in the office laughed at me, but they all said it smelled pretty tasty. ^_^
Today, though, has been a small failure. I’ve slept for almost the entire day. Literally.
Sleep….sleep…sleep.
My Japanese cooking has consisted of re-warmed rice with soy sauce and mirin, and some scrambled eggs Husband made me for dinner. Not exactly a culinary feat—but I did eat my rice and eggs with chopsticks.
But! Tomorrow will be better! I’ve planned my meal, and I’m very excited to share. Share my idea, that is. Not my food. Yummmm!
See you soon!
