Iridori
is neat stuff. Basically it's Japanese chicken &
vegetable stew, with things like bamboo and potatoes
and carrots, all cut in thick chunks. Normally I make
it with taro root, but I'm not hardcore enough
to pay what Kroger charges for those, and they're often
in poor shape from sitting there forever because nobody
else is either. Anyway, new potatoes work fine.
Those twisty things on top are slices of konnyaku gel,
which funky stuff and pretty much calorie-free. I suppose
the darker version would be more photogenic, as the
light version is pretty much the same color as the chicken,
potatoes, and bamboo, but the dark stuff looks kinda
yucky to me.
Then there's steamed
broccoli and carrot
& raisin salad. Three cheers for veggies! OK,
cheering is a bit much, but I do give them my quiet
appreciation.
Wanna talk
about it?
