Creamy Golden Raisin Bread

ゴールデンレーズンリッチパン

Adding left-over whipping cream I used for the chicken stew the other day made this bread so creamy that it tasted like pound cake! When I sliced the bread, it was still steamy, and the golden raisins were extremely moist and shiny like little jewels. This has become my favorite bread of the year.

Ingredients:
bread flour (375g)
whipping cream + water (285g)
salt (5g)
sugar (26g)
margarine (30g)
golden raisins (230g)
yeast (1 tsp.)

Creamy Miso Chicken Stew

鶏ときのこの味噌クリームシチュー

I never thought miso and cream would taste this good together! The stew turned out to be very similar to Sweet Tomatoes' cream of mushroom soup, but again, the kids didn't care at all. Ingredients: chicken thigh, baby portabella mushrooms, onion, miso, and whipping cream.

Black Vinegar Chicken Wings

鶏手羽の黒酢煮

Frappuccino Bread


Oven-Fried Chicken & Anchovy Rice

Oven-Fried Chicken, coated with left-over Japanese pork chop sauce from the other night. These drumsticks were actually BAKED without any oil, but there's enough fat from the chicken itself that the skin becomes pretty crispy like fried chicken!

By the way, this is the pork chop I made the other day.↓

I really didn't expect the kids to eat much, but they loved it so much for some reason that I had to give them my piece too! I wonder if that was because I didn't take any pictures of the dish???

I thought both fried chicken and anchovy rice might be a bit difficult for Pingu's grandma to eat, but she loved them!

Teriyaki Meatballs

I brought 120 of these meatballs to my son's class this morning. Since there were forty students in the room, I made sure each child would get two meatballs, but so many of them wanted the third! One boy even asked for the recipe! Isn't that cute?
