Just wanted to share my dinner I cooked for myself the other day. Usually, my Japanese meal is stir fries or something my American boyfriend can easily eat. But once in a while, I need a real Japanese food. When my boyfriend doesn't need dinner, I normally cook super authentic Japanese meal. The recent menu was mixed vegitable pickles and yam potato soba noodle. Japanese yam potato called Yama-imo is really slimy and it itches around your mouth. It's realatively reasonable and is a great energy food for stronger stamina. We usually eat it graded over tuna sashimi or float in a soup noodle. The other evening, I jullianed the yam and served with hot Soba noodle with lots of fresh Japanese scallion, Naga-negi.
This is probably one of the healthiest foods since soba noodle itself also has low calorie. Slimy but crunchy yam was so satisfying in taste and volume. I screamed, "Umai!" (Damn Good!), alone in my apartment.
