Tag: buckwheat honey

I am really not in a cooking mood today, but I did so much yesterday. There are still two things I cooked.

First I made toast. Not rocket science of course. But I put on it the buckwheat honey I bought yesterday. I love buckwheat pancakes, but I had never heard of buckwheat honey and didn’t know what to expect. It is so much darker. The flavor I would say is dark and bitter. I didn’t like it. I might still try it in cooking for things like almond cake or bulgogi, two places I use regular honey.

Then I made fried rice. I used the green beans I bought and cooked yesterday. I cut them up into smaller bite sized pieces. I also cute up some of my red scallions. I was lazy and used microwave sticky rice. Though I normally use my rice cooker with short grain rice. I cooked all the ingredients together in a mix of canola and sesame oil. I like my fried rice on the more oily side, but we all know sesame oil is delicious but strong. I also added some previously sautéed onions. When it was done I put serving in a bowl and added some fresh chopped scallion. I almost called it a day, but then realized I forgot the fried egg. The yolk sadly broke but I tried to keep it together as much as I could. I normally love a runny yolk. I can’t find my furikake which is normally a nice addition. I added instead garlic sea salt and fresh ground pepper.

I must make sure to cook the beets tomorrow. I am scared of really hating it. I have three beets. One I will roast in the oven. The other two I will use a friend’s suggestion and make a root vegetable hash. Did you know there is such a thing as beet cakes? But I don’t have enough beets for that. Maybe another time.
