Today's lunchbox Feb 18th, 2013

- tofu hamburg steak　(豆腐ハンバーグ)
- cucumber and broccoli pickles make in brine and fermented rice bran (ぬか漬け）
- kidney beans and corn dressed with sesame sauce

- steamed with mixed grains （雑穀米）

I made tofu hamburg steak after a long time. I have forgotten this menu in fact. It was good to remember this menu because I like it. Besides, tofu hamburg steak is very healthy. FYI, I had it with ponzu (ポン酢) which is a kind of Japanese sauce made primarily with soy sauce and citrus juice. It was good. Today's tofu hamburg is made of tofu, ground chicken, shiitake mushroom, ginger and carrot.

I will start to post the photo of today's lunch from this year. I have taken a photo of daily lunch box until now, but they were just in my smart phone photo gallery. From this year, I will post the photo of my lunch as a record.

Today's lunch box

ginger-flavored slices of fried pork（buta no syogayaki -->豚の生姜焼き）
boiled kidney beans and fish sausages dressed in a sesame sauce（ingenmame to chikuwa no
gomaae --> インゲン豆と竹輪の胡麻和え）
boiled egg（yude tamago --> ゆで卵）
steamed unpolished rice or cereals with pickled Japanese plums（zakkokumai to umeboshi --> 雑穀米と梅干し）

This is my typical menu for my lunch box. These are very easy to cook and it takes about 30 minutes to make. It is the best menu in a busy morning.
