Made veggie and dumpling (potsticker? gyoza?) soup tonight! It was missing something, maybe more miso, but overall it wasn't too bad! Very healthy, if nothing else.

I'm cat-sitting for a friend, so have access to their gas grill, and the farmer's market had baby eggplants. Grilled with garlic and mint, with spiced chickpeas and tomatoes, over couscous. With a preserved lemon and yogurt sauce.

Human: *crying, in pain, experiencing minor neurological symptoms* This is delicious, what's in it?
Alien: ...our strongest, deadliest poison.
Human: How much for a bottle to send home? My mom would absolutely love it.
Alien: If you let a team of our finest scientists deliver it and study her reaction, it's free.
Human: Sweet, I'm sure she'd be up for that, let me give her a call--

Tonight's dinner is: not-quite Katsudon...
I didn't have any pork or chicken around, but I was craving a rice bowl (donburi), so I mixed up the sauce from my favorite katsudon recipe and fixings.
2/3 cup dashi stock (or in this case, chicken stock because I was out)
1 Tbsp soy sauce
1 Tbsp mirin
1 tsp sugar
1/8 - 1/4 tsp fresh ginger (minced) - optional
1/8 - 1/4 tsp fresh garlic (minced) - or more. This is just what I used tonight because I wanted the onions to be the real star
1/2 small onion (thinly sliced)
2 eggs (cracked and mixed in a bowl)
Steamed rice
Make the broth: mix the dashi/stock, soy, mirin, sugar, ginger, and garlic in a small pot. Simmer to combine flavors for a few minutes.
While broth is simmering, saute onions in a medium frying pan over medium-high heat until translucent and slightly caramelized. Add other mix-ins if desired (I used corn tonight because I had it).
Pour broth over onions and simmer for 1 minute, then turn heat down to medium-low. Pour eggs over mixture and cover (DO NOT STIR). Cook until the eggs are just set, then serve over rice.
If you have them, feel free to add in proteins like a sliced fried pork cutlet (Katsudon), chicken (oyakodon), beef (gyudon) etc. My stomach wasn't up to meats and I didn't have any, but I like to do this with leftover chicken tenders or pork and it's divine. To keep the fried meat crispy-ish, reheat it in the oven first. It's then added just before the egg, so it soaks up a bit of the sauce but doesn't get too soggy.

Would you still love us if we were a worm?
🥺👉👈
What’s cuter than sharing? Sharing is caring, after all, and no other muddy buddy does that better than the fat innkeeper worm (Urechis caupo). These seafloor superheroes burrow in the soft sediment of estuaries and earn their name by providing shelter, food, and even running water for their fellow members of the muck, like pea crabs, ghost shrimp, scale worms, and arrow gobies. They’re also a source of food for many other animals including leopard sharks and sea otters!

Tonight's dinner is goya champuru. My first time trying bitter melon! It's an acquired taste for sure, but mixed in with everything else it helps to cut through the richness of the egg and meat and tofu and rice. I'd make this again. Might add more soy sauce next time.

Clean out the crisper drawer stir-fry - cabbage (which I still didn't manage to use up), baby turnips, and shrimp, with new green garlic from the market. Penzey's balti seasoning plus mustard seed, cumin, and turmeric.
