| I am watching [A week of husband lunch boxes] #34 / Katsudon. Interesting here is "miso pork steak", potato croquettes, the kind of omelette she makes in the beginning ("tamagoyaki"?). |
Some of these husbentos have rice and pasta, some have potato on top of that. Salad with pickled radish, nappa cabbage (salladskål). As dressing there's tsuyu sauce and sesame oil. |

[A week of husband lunch boxes] #37 back to real life More croquettes! Rice, mix with curry [stew], egg and bread (panko). Cheese slice inside. |
Soaking vegetables/roots in water for a few minutes before cooking them ("förvälla"). Can you use a marinade here, something tastier? Is this basically pickling? Mirin (rice vinegar?) as sauce for fried carrots |

| Looking for kofta videos by someone who isn't annoying. Lebanese rice. Kafta in pita bread. Authentic Lebanese BEEF KAFTA. Tumblr post of a tiktok video which links to this recipe which is different from what they do in the video. |
Rince the rice five times. Then soak for 10 minutes! Fry vermicelli (pasta) in canola (raps) oil and a bit of salt. Cover with water enough to just cover the rice. Kafta seems to be ground beef/lamb with 7spice, choppy onions, and (flat leaf) parsley. Maybe with more cumin, maybe with cayenne as well. If frying in pita bread, you can have butter and tomato paste first if you want. |

| (Hello fresh subscription service in general) |
Many of the recipies are similar, but with a few key elements switched out. Many are just things that should be intuitive (fry these ingredients, mix these, boil the rice, serve them together) but it's nice to follow steps. A lot of spice mixes and sauces aren't explained at all. In general, no explanation, just instruction. Add X. I would've liked Add X, which is made up of spices A, B, and C. A contrasts nicely with the nutty taste of the rice, and helps bring forth bla bla bla There is generally a lack of attention. Are these recipes even tested? How do you mean these ingredients are meant to fit in a "small pan"? Why is the cabbage pre-chopped in one dish, but not in the other? Sometimes i almost suspect the recipes are generated. |

what's a "side dish" anyway...? i'm just eating something else at the same time?
sausages are good every now and then. thin ones with fried onion. check if there's a specialty sausage shop around?
miso soup is miso paste + dashi powder + extra ingredients. dashi accentuates the miso taste. it's in tsuyu as well (another savoury sauce: "it's sweeter soy sauce and has more depth of umami").
