 The
Thanksgiving turkey is still with me, albeit cleverly
hidden. This meal contains some Thanksgiving aftermath stew,
with turkey and peas and corn and celery and carrots
and beans and scallions and lotus root. Well, it's part
of the stew, anyway; I siphoned off the liquid through
a straw so it wouldn't slosh all over the inside of
my bento box. Next to it is a "sandbox" of
couscous made with
broth from the aforementioned stew. Then there's the
old faithful edamame, which
you can tell I just pulled out of the freezer, and peanut mochi balls.
Those last items are storebought frozen rice dough balls
with filling, and you drop them into boiling water until
they float. In fact, they're pretty much the same as
palitaw, but with something
in the center. And, like palitaw, they're terrifically
sticky-gooey when you take them out of the water. I
think the next time I make them I'm going to finish
them up by rolling them either in coconut (also like
palitaw) or katakuriko (like daifuku).
Wanna talk
about it?
