Sukiyaki

I cooked with the leftover which I brought back from BBQ on last weekend.

Yakiniku don

Sliced beef grilled with sauce (soya sauce, mirin, miso, chili) and onion.

Ikura don

I cooked sushi at my regular bar, I took back all the rest and might be enough for a several days.

Bacon cabbage spaggethi

Next day of okonomiyaki, I had some pieces of bacon and cabbage in fridge.
I boiled the fine cut cabbage and then used the water to boil pasta.
I slightly remember the recipe I learned from Mamma in Sicilia. This time, I used soft and sweet cabbage for okonomiyaki, it tastes much better.

Okonomiyaki

Okonomi (=whatever you like) yaki (=bake) is a very popular snack.
Eating the rest of the day before.

Zenzai

Japanese would eat mochi (rice cake) during the period of the New Year. There is a long history and even people in 6th century ate mochi and this was for something special.
In many houses, they would eat "ozoni" or "zenzai" (it may be also called shiruko) on the New Year's day. Ozoni is salty soup with mochi and other vegetable while zenzai is sweets.

Azuki red beans will be first cooked until it becomes very soft, then add sugar, ginger juice, then finally salt to make people feel more sweetness. On the New Year's day, I made zenzai for the first time in Austria.

Soba

I also cooked soba at the cafe bistro, I still have left over ingredients.
