Kansai MonkeyThis week I offered thinly sliced chicken and shiitake cooked in a slightly sweetened mix of mirin, soy, sugar, and sake, all of which is then served over rice. Miso soup, being a staple to any Japanese meal, was offered as a side, as well as deep fried tofu squares.
The only issues with this meal occurs in the textures of the tofu, as I believe that it didn't fry quite properly, and that the chicken strips were not as appealing as I could have made them. Discoloration from the sauce gave the meat an odd hue. Oh well.
