More Food and My Attempts at Cooking

I have recently discovered how to cook and have been spending far too much time in the kitchen. I purchased a rice cooker for only 980 yen (~$11) and it has come in extremely handy. I make rice in it every night and it is the bulk of my dinner, but I just add something else with some protein and then some veggies and throw in a banana and it's delicious!

This is my rice cooker! It was super cheap because I bought it at the recycle shop, where it only cost me 980 yen. These suckers run around 5000-7000 yen (~$60-82) if you buy one new!

This is my attempt at a broccoli and egg creation, with lots of rice of course! After this I realized that I should cook it with cheese, so now I call it broccoli, egg and cheese! It's not the best, but I get really excited about it, hence the exclamation marks in this paragraph!

This was a feast of rice, broccoli, and egg (pre-cheese revelation), chicket cutlet with tonkatsu sauce (yummy), almond cake and ganzuki bread.

Tonight's meal was rice, broccoli, egg, and cheese, and Burmese meat. The Burmese meat is from Burma, of course and not Japanese at all. I got it from my friend who is from Myanmar (previously Burma). The appearance and texture is that of the bark of a tree. You simply pour oil on it and mash it in with your fingers, let it soak for a couple minutes, and eat. It is actually pretty tasty and goes great with rice!


Sadly, I did not cook this last meal. But I did eat it! I found this restaurant at the Sendai station and the Japanese style food was actually really like (good) Americanized Japanese food. I had the garlic chicken and it was absolutely delicious.
