When I moved to Kyoto in March, I had to cook for myself. Since then I'm experimenting with all the ingredients and flavours I can find in the store and try to cook dishes I had in restaurants, guest houses, friends houses, etc. Today I want to introduce my first recipe I came up with today. I was surprised how tasty it was, even though it only took like 10-15 minutes to cook.
