Katsu don where "don" is mashed potatoes. Packaged gravy because I'm lazy.

Cobb on Trader Joe's baguette. Grilled chicken, bleu cheese dressing as a condiment, bacon, avocado, and egg.

looks good, tastes good, undercooked noodles.

I fucked up instant ramen.

Guys.

Spicy tuna handroll. Can of skipjack tuna in spring water, mixed with kewpie mayo, Shiso leaf, green onion, la yu, dashi, ichimi togarashi... basically I put in as much spice as I can... it's still never enough, but if I do cayenne or ghost pepper... it's too much.

Trinity and I split the last piece of peanut butter toast.

Aidell’s korean sausage, with a sauce made of gochuchang, dark soy, sushi vinegar, sugar, toasted sesame oil, and la yu. Pasta standing in for noodles, baby bok choy, carrot, onion and green onion.

I don’t get much Korean food in my area, so I’m sort flying blind here, but it was pretty good.

Beef short ribs with a sauce over some fixings. Boxed Mac and Cheese, cheesy polenta, fennel caramelized cabbage.

Kagoshima style ramen with fish cake, baby bok choy, lotus root, pulled pork, shiitake, broccoli, and green onion.

Pork cutlet hammered thin, breaded in panko and deep fried. Then cooked in a sweet dashi stock and cover with scrambled egg. Serve over rice with green onion.

Gochujang, garlic, ginger, vinegar, dark soy sauce, honey, la yu, sesame oil. Pork, white onion, green onion.

Scottish salmon, green onion, la yu, lemon juice, and my special concoction that's different every time I make it.
