When I first started blogging about cooking meals from What Did You Eat Yesterday<\/em>, someone was telling me about how he just can’t have the time or the chance to cook it because the ingredients were hard to find. I suppose that raised the challenge for me to find recipes in the series that were not difficult and were fairly easy to recreate in places without Asian groceries.<\/p>\n

In this recipe, I try out Shirou’s dinner after an interesting day at the Tominaga’s.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Tominaga family is one of my favorite recurring characters in What Did You Eat Yesterday? <\/em>They’re good “normal” people who make an effort in accommodating people in their lives. So even when one of Kayoko’s friends, Shirou, turns out to be gay, they try their best to make him feel welcome in their family.<\/p>\n

Hence one afternoon, Tominaga-papa thought it’d be best to introduce Shirou to one of his gay friends! The result is a very interesting afternoon for the “unconventional” ((seriously, what is conventional in terms of sexual identities, right?)) gay man, Shirou Kakei.<\/p>\n

While pondering on his new friend’s Gilbert-esque lover, Shirou makes this fantastic cheap dinner for Kenji.<\/p>\n

[yumprint-recipe id=’3′]Note:<\/span> When Shirou cuts up his veggies, he uses the term aramijin, which is just basic chopping, but I thought you guys might be interested how the<\/span> Japanese cut up their veggies<\/a>. I think it’s no different than what they do in usual television shows, but yeah, it’s really nice and helps making things look pretty.<\/span><\/p>\n

I really loved these dishes for their simplicity and how it’s easy to adapt them. I think you don’t need to use chicken even. If you have fish or pork, you can use those as well! Best part about these dishes was that they tasted really awesome given the little effort I did in making them. These were totally good eats and the left overs are also awesome the next day.<\/p>\n

So what did you eat yesterday? If you had an awesome meal this week, share a photo and tweet, tumblr, or instagram it with the hashtag#whatdidieatyesterday<\/b>! You might even win a copy of this comic!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
