Cravings

Last night was Japanese, specifically the sweet bean curd rice rolls. While at the restaurant, we ate a whole load more. We even ordered something new on the menu - Yakiniku Ramen (pork noodles) and tonight, I'm craving just that! Mmmm...

The night before, I craved Ginger Chicken with Black Fungus in Soy Sauce similar to this:

Haven't been cooking lately so it was good to go back to the kitchen. Basically fry about two big thumbs of ginger (sliced thinly) with a clove of chopped garlic in about a tablespoon of sesame oil till fragrant. Add two chopped chicken drumsticks and thighs and fry for about two minutes. Add the soaked and cleaned (and trimmed to smaller sizes if required) black fungus and give it a little stir. Pour water in to cover. Boil and simmer for about 20 minutes. Add two tablespoons of soy sauce and a tiny pinch of salt to taste. Yums. It tasted even better today!
