I didn’t make them. I bought ready to use Chinese Spring roll wraps, warmed them in the steamer.

That’s served : Take a crepe, put veggies, meat and sauce on it, roll and eat immediately.

Take a ball of dough, spread in a circle, put filling in the middle and pinch the squares to form a basket.

Plum chutney lamb

I really enjoyed this meal, tasty and balance. Lamb’s strength and the sour’n sweetness of the chutney, that was the perfect accord.

That’s an easy one if you have the chutney in stock. If not, make some :

My chunky ume plum chutney (recipe)

Sear a lamb chop with very little olive oil. Cover with chunky chutney.

Hakusai (napa cabbage) stir-fried with the lamb.

Freshly prepared new genmai (brown rice).

The refill of steamed veggies : aubergines, red onion, shishito peppers, tomato paste. Flavor is rosemary.

A little protein boost : yakko tofu. It’s cubed kinudofu (silky texture). With negi leeks and nama shoyu soy sauce.

The whole meal (1 serving of rice):

Spicy lamb kebab

We get only lamb chops… I have cut one into dices. Marinated in a mix of spices like in Chinese streets…

“black” and brown rice.

Minimalist coleslaw : cabbage and sudachi lemon.

Momen tofu (pressed out of water), red onion, konnyaku… to make sesame, soy sauce, vinegar and umeboshi salad.
