No passport required

To cook food from other countries! A few weeks ago, Keizo and I "left" Japan for a brief tour of its neighbors to the west. We had onion chijimi, which is a soft, egg and flour based pancake from Korea, eaten hot and dipped in sesame sauce with steamy Chinese style fried rice on the side.


Keizo is an expert at fried rice (a.k.a. yakimeshi or chahan), deftly scrambling the egg and adding just enough soy sauce to give it flavor without it becoming unbearably salty. He also added a can of tuna to this batch, at which point I sort of scrunched up my face, but he said it would be good and it was. In the end, I was more than happy with my role of table setter.
