humbly, Roasted Cabbage. 🪶📜

Crunch. Crunch. Crunch.

The humble cabbage 🥬 is elevated roasted style.

A perfect pair for body-building proteins in steak or fried form.

For this first 2 tries: i sauted it, i conquered. Then i toasted it, conquered even more 😜

📝 Steps:

Wash cabbage & drain well.

1. Slice into wedges, about 3/4 inch, abd keeping the core intact so it does not fall apart.

2. Preheat toaster / oven to 200°C for 5mins.

... while oven is prepping, continue below:

3. Place into a mixing bowl, sprinkle some olive oil, dash of salt & pepper, and preferred spices.

(We added chili flakes, smoked paprika, and oregano. Make it complement the main dish. )

4. Line the oven tray with baking paper, and gently place the wedges.

5. Toast for 15minutes on each side.

Verdict:

- toasted version for the win!

- mind tho, if not toasted enough, cabbage wedges get a bit chewy in the thicker parts. If time is of no issue, then toast longer.

But you may consider jullienne & then toast for uniform texture and better bite, faster serving.

Tip: for version #2, to be or not to be... to toast, to air fry, or to bake in the oven?

Creamy Miso 🥣

I hated miso soup. And then I loved it ever since. This comfort soup may have a slight tangy taste depending on what type of miso is used. My hubby does not like a hint of sour/tangy stuff. To discover that milk could be added to spin off the taste was a welcome revelation!!! The aroma and taste always takes me back to my days in Japan. My very 1st sip of miso soup was at the canteen of an all-ladies dorm during my very 1st work trip in beautiful Tamagawa prefecture. It was my 1st time away from my motherland, and 1st time to experience winter, at that. To say that I was in a state of culture shock is an understatement. I loved soft fluffy Japanese rice. The roasted flaky saba fish. Ramen noodles. Crunchy karaage. Not miso soup though. I hated miso soup. But that fateful cold night, I have just reached "home" from the 10-minutes trudge from work. A quick change to warmer clothes, I was immediately at the dinner table. The warm soup felt grudgingly comforting. The next spoonf...
