japanese comfort food

This is one of my favorites, it's so simple and tasty.

salmon and hamachi ochazuke
We had some leftover sashimi that I was nervous about eating raw, so I thought ochazuke would be just the thing. It's essentially rice with green tea, lots of little crunchies (arare) and nori. I added the cooked salmon and hamachi pieces (which is probably way more than you would get in a traditional Japanese meal), as well as some of the leftover cucumber and avocado.

ma-po eggplant

As more of the Curry House bounty, some sort of packaged ma-po tofu sauce was included. I thought I might as well try it out, and I had already prepped the eggplants, so I thought we might as well combine the two.

ma-po eggplant
Overall, the sauce was unoffensive, but it did have a weird consistency to it. It's definitely not as good as making your own sauce, and really, not that much more convenient. Let's say I wouldn't go out of my way to purchase it. But it's good enough in a pinch.
