A Warm Summer Night's Dinner



Time for more foodventures! This time, I teamed up with Titowpuente to create a feast of sorts for my family. We went Hawaiian-Japanese for the themed dinner.



That day was particular scorching as the tail end of the Indian summer wound up for it’s final pitch. We nearly canceled our cooking session because turning on the stove and oven would only increase the temperature, right? We resorted to a cooler meal: instead of slaving over the stove massaging arborio rice into risotto, we decided to go with a cold somen salad, with yakitori for a side. 


It took quite a while, the whole endeavour, as we had to hit the supermarkets (this meal required a special trip to the Asian market to get kamaboko, or fishcake), but it was very much worth it and there was plenty of food for all! 


Want to duplicate the dinner? Here you go:
Just a tip: For the teriyaki sauce that the yakitori recipe asks you to make, I would half the measurements so you won’t have so much leftover. :) Also, in addition to chicken, we added tasty chicken liver onto the skewers. Delicious!
