Beer waffles are a deicious classic. So let’s try t makkoli waffles.
The idea was great. The Korean rice wine brings flavor, milkiness and lighten the batter. They were very fluffy inside, crispy around. I’ll do that again.

The batter is very simple. Makkoli is the liquid. Zest of konatsu pomelo brings a zingy hint.

I really like peanuts, I often eat them just like that. Today, I’ve included them in some spicy bean patties to bring nuttiness and crunchiness.

I broke the peanuts in the mortar. I keep the red skin, it’s full of nutrient. Added in : Taisho kintoki red beans (boiled), onion, ginger, garlic and stalks of nira. It’s flavored with an Indian spice mix containing mango powder. A little potato starch for binding. Pan-fried.

There is green tea in my pasta and my plate looks like a garden today. Happy !

Add 1 tbs of matcha (green tea powder) to 1 cup of flour or semolina, mix well and make pasta as usual.
I like them thick and thin, that depends on days. This time, the mood was for thick tagliatelle.

I used what was in the fridge : like leafy mini daikon (leaves had been eaten, I wonder by who…), red cabbage and carrot. A dry chili. New onion. Stir-fry in olive oil. Season with sea salt and freshly ground pepper.

Add in the cooked pasta. Yes, there were 2 volumes of veggies for one of pasta. That’s the perfect ratio.

Serve with 2 sides, well 2 desserts…
