Moment of happiness
I'm starting to wonder if there's something wrong with me, bc I'm either depressed or pissed off with the world lately. There doesn't seem to be much else in my emotional range.
But, instead of bitching too much like i usually do, I'll just post a recipe that actually made me happy for a while. Very yummy.
Green Beans with Shiitake Mushrooms
2 tbsp sesame seeds
1 tbsp oil + 1 tsbp sesame oil
5 green onions, sliced
1 lb green beans
6 oz shiitake mushrooms (i used portabella bc i couldn't find shiitake)
2 tsp ginger (I added 2 chopped garlic cloves with the ginger)
2 tbsp mirin, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sugar
Heat the wok/pan until very hot, add sesame seeds and stir-fry over high heat until golden. Remove from pan. Add oils and swirl to coat the side. Add the green onion and beans, stir-fry for 4 minutes. Add mushrooms and ginger (and garlic if you want it) and cook for 4 minutes. Pour in the mirin, soy sauce, and sugar, cover and cook for 2 minutes. Serve with sesame seeds on top.
I would have taken a picture, but I ate it too fast. :)
Just called Central Market and told them I want to work for them. They're supposed to call me back. Guess I'll tell Il Sole next week, after I ask for 2 days off (1 to go get Mat in BFE East Texas since his car died, and the other for my birthday). Does anyone know if you have to give restaurants 2 weeks notice?
