Summer food


We've been eating a lot more take-home meals since the weather has gotten so hot. This was a cross between okonomiyaki and omraisu. The former, for those of you who don't know, is sometimes explained as Japanese pizza, which is a really poor comparison. It's much closer to the Chinese egg foo yung, though the batter is usually mostly grated taro root. The latter is an omlet stuffed with lots of what we call in the U.S. fried rice (in Japan, chahan).

Unfortunately, it wasn't very delicious, but at least it didn't heat up the kitchen. The bento we got for the same meal (which I started before I got out the camera) was better.
