Again something Japanesish to shovel into the belly :)

Might be a bit boring, but today's dinner was again something rather Japanese style.
A friend of mine just got bored and wanted to eat with someone, so I "used him out" a bit and sent for shopping :D Unfortunately the main ingredient, maple syrup was out of stock everywhere, but don't panic, I solved the problem - somehow.

The soup was very easy to cook from chicken neck, carrot and leek with miso paste:



The main dish was a kind of Japanese-Italian-Canadian for me, but what a wonderful taste!
Some days ago I saw a maple syrup marinated beef steak somewhere and tried to find the recipe. Used this one: easy: soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, maple syrup and garlic for the marinate. Here came my trick: instead of maple syrup I used chopped walnut and Golden syrup. Not the same taste of course, but really delicious!
You only have to put the beef into this mixture for 15 minutes and then grill for 15 minutes as well. The surface should be a bit crunchy, but inside it is beautifully rose and raw <3 Oishiiiii!
Just need a sharper knife to slice it thinner.


The dessert needed the maple syrup again, the substitution was Golden syrup and a special sugar mixture what I received from a friend of mine for Xmas ^-^ Let's say it was an American pancake's happy marriage with a waffle :) Topped with sour cherry in the above mentioned sugar rush and whipped cream.

    1. It won't be the same honey, you can eat beef raw. Try it rather with tuna or salmon! But not for 15 minutes, maybe 5 minutes is enough. And you have to turn it to get coat on every side.
