Cake salé of Salmon & Asparagus

Yesterday is the last day of the school!

I will not prepare Lino's Baon until June, so I will introduce previous Baon during summer vacation!

I brought the "Cake salé of a Salmon and Asparagus" for the last day party. 

When I bake the Cake salé, I usually use a bacon. But I like the Salmon Cake salé better that Bacon Cake salé.

The purpose of this blog and workshop

Long time no see!!

Last week, Lino had a fever and he was absent. So I was absent my blog also. Lino is already recoverd on last Saturday.

Lino's Baon conducted Bento Workshop at The Learners Academy Spc on last Saturday.

Before this workshop, I confirmed the purpose of this blog along with I thought the concept of this workshop.

So I would like to describe about that at first.

There are a lot of children who don't like to eat vegetable, who can not continue to sit during meal, and who is picky eater in Philippines. In Japan also.

I think that the trouble of these children's food might be common around the world. I suppose that all parents around the world want to raise  their children to become a healthy eater!!

What do you do against this trouble?

Japanese Moms share a lot of idea each other by talking, internet, TV, and workshop. For example, how to provide the meal or snack for children who are picky eater, how to lead children to concentrate in the meal, how to prepare healthy and cute meal that children favorite, etc.

Lino's Baon is prepared using these ideas. 

So I want to share the Lino's Baon that is packed full of the Japanese Moms' ideas with peoples around the world through this blog and workshop!!

If you feel empathy with this purpose, please recommend this blog and workshop to your friends.

Well, I will introduce the workshop held on last Saturday.

I prepared for the workshop below.

• Vegetable stuffed meat roll

  (Recipe is from here →The complete dish? (Vegetable stuffed Meat roll recipe))

• Carrote peperoncino 

  (Recipe is from here →Simple and Easy, Healthy and Delicious!!)

• Riceballs and seaweed

• Rolled egg (demonstrate)

• Lettuse and Tomato

The participants tried to cook the Rolled egg, enjoyed decoration of Rice balls with seaweed, and made their own Japanese style Baon.

I would like to thank The Learners Academy Spc for giving me the opportunity to conduct this workshop and share Lino's Baon.

I really want to share Lino's Baon through  workshop. If you will be interested in this workshop, feel free to send me e-mail.

I will looking forward the e-mail!!

Would you like to eat "Crunchy Eggplant"?

I would like to introduce a recipe of "Crunchy Eggplant".

I like Eggplant cooked as Filipino food like "Tortang talong" (grilled and peeled eggplant omelet) and "inihaw na talong" (salad of grilled and peeled eggplant, onion, and tomato). I think that many of the Filipino Eggplant dishes are used grilled and peeled Eggplant.

The nutrition of Eggplant is not rich. However, it should be noted that the eggplant contains a high amount of antioxidants such as an anthocyanin and polyphenol included in peel of the eggplant.

The "Crunchy Eggplant" is used unpeeled eggplant. You can obtain a high amount of antioxidants by eating this dish.

 I prepared this recipe to fit to Filipino taste, so I think Filipino might become to like it! My parents in law like it!!

[Ingredients]

• Eggplant, 3 pcs

• Flour, proper amount

• Vegetables (it is yummy only eggplant. If you like to be colorful, you can use your favorite vegetables. I used Carrot, Cauliflower, Asparagus, and Okra this time.)

Sauce

• Soy sauce, 4 tbsp

• Vinegar, 4 tbsp

• Water or Sake, 2 tbsp

• Honey or sugar, 1 and 1/2 tbsp

• Corn starch, proper amount

• Ginger, small pc

(If you like spicy taste, you can put a red chili also.)

[Procedure]

1. Cut the egg plant into one bite size and cover it with flour.

2. Fry it with small amount oil.

3. Boil your favorite vegetables.

4. Grate the ginger and put all ingredients of the sauce into frying pan. Heat it until boiling while mix the sauce.

5. After boiling the sauce, stop heating it immediately. Mix the sauce with boiled vegetables. Put the sauce with vegetables on the fried eggplant just before to eat it!

Guess! What's this?

Probably, I think that we can buy this item in Japan only. 

Do you think what's this?

The answer is  cutter that one of the tool for preparation of lunch box. For example, we make a part of eye by using this cutter to cut a sliced cheese. We can use this cutter for vegetables, ham, etc. We can obtain perfect circle part easily.

A lot of Japanese Mom have tools like this cutter. It is only Japan selling such a tool in the wide world. Maybe, you could understand the passion of Japanese for lunch box！

Today's Baon

•Fried rice omelet (tomato, onion, dried basil leaves, ketchup flavor)

•Boiled cauliflower, broccoli, and carrot.

•Fried chicken (the recipe of salted chicken  is from here→  

Versatile foodstuff, 『Salted chicken breast』)

•Tomato

I used "Cutter" for making hole of egg sheet.

After making holes, put the egg sheet on a cling wrap and put the fried rice on the egg sheet. Roll it into a ball.

White Tiger

Today's Baon

•Rice ball, mixed with boiled Whitebait 

•Sautéed bacon, cauliflower, red-pepper, and asparagus.

• Rolled egg

•Okra

I tried to make "white tiger" for today's Baon. 

 

This is a flavored dried laver seaweed that I bought at Japan store.

Recently, I use this for decoration of the rice ball. 

This dried laver seaweed is packed in small quantity. So it is easier to use and keep that dried laver seaweed for Sushi that is packed in large size and quantity. This package includes 40 small packs that include 3 sheets of dried laver seaweeds. The price of this dried laver seaweed is Php88. It is the affordable price!!
