Tonight's dinner

[gemfyre]

Katsu Chicken with Broccolli in ginger-soy sauce.

The broccolli was a Jamie Oliver recipe from his Cook With Jamie book. The Katsu chicken turned out beautifully, usually we burn stuff shallow frying it but this was perfect. I forgot about the Tonkatsu sauce until the last minute so kinda did a throw together job which didn't taste as good as it could - anyone got a good recipe? And of course there was the kewpie mayo, which I am addicted to.



Salad I made. Tomatoes (unfortunately not homegrown - wrong time of year), homegrown rocket and basil with bocconcini drizzled with balsamic vinegar and olive oil.


Orange cake. I screwed up the icing, but after cutting out a slice I had to take a photo because it looked like Pacman!

Half the credit goes to Matt, my sous-chef. ;)

He cooked and sliced the chicken and prepped the rice.
