[wahwho11]

for some reason, the grilled garlic looks the best to me.

[i wear shooes]

chicken liver looks so so good

[ninetynine]

everything was just amazing

The shrimp head on the red shrimp was one of the highlights for me

[pepper davies]

My girlfriend and I finally made it to Kajitsu last night. They've recently opened in a new location, and it was quite nice. I've never really had food like this before, but I'd love to go back again. It was a pretty lovely evening. Good service and lovely presentation.

The menu for the evening.

Unfiltered sake.

And the food.

The sakura tofu was wonderful. The wild rice croquette on the spring bloom plate was incredible. I found the deep fried bamboo shoot to be a little too tough for me. The yuba don was probably my favorite course. It was unlike anything I've ever had before, but felt relatable and hearty.

2nd confession: I made chicken w/ ginger and cilantro meatballs for glass noodle soup today.

last confession: I made spam and rice today

all true

[wahwho11]

ninetynine, you are an honorary asian. please accept this red envelope with further instructions.

[mis]

1 egg white2 Tbsp sugar (adjust a little either way depending on context).25 C flour1.5 Tbsp butter meltedmiso to taste...I use about a tbsp of shiro. Adjust salt depending on how much you use.Whisk together the egg white with the sugar, then add the flour in gradually. When it's smooth, add the butter and miso and stir it to combine...try not to get too much air into it.If the batter is too loose, add some more flour. If it's too thick, add a bit of milk or cream. You just need to be able to spread it thin on a silicon mat.Bake at 350F/175C until it starts to brown (maybe 10 minutes ish). As soon as it's cool enough to handle, mold it to whatever shape you want and let it set up.They end up tasting like a great combination of a fortune cookie and club cracker haha.(Sorry for the volume measurements and iffy procedure...only done this a couple times, and mostly just based it on the texture of the batter)

made thai red curry instead of usual green cuz i had some extra eye of round beef and flatbread was on sale for 50 cents. the addition of butternut squash and peanut butter made it super creamy and savoury

Almost no sweetness whatsoever, it was called a 'liver tonic' which makes sense as my digestion felt v good afterwards

 

I thought it was excellent

Glad it worked out. Food looks real nice. You have a circulator at home?

Too much protein on these risottos, though. haha
