Japanese Sundays

After moving to Flagstaff I told Spencer that we needed to plan something special for Sundays to fill the time that we would be with family if we still lived in Utah. He mentioned making Japanese dishes and it stuck. After going there in October, many of the meals seemed not too hard to make here at home. 

We have enjoyed some yummy meals, and we documented some of them.

Okonomiyaki Hiroshima style
pancake like with meat, onions, carrots, cabbage on top of noodles, and of course all the yummy sauces. On the side we did chahan rice.

Tempura
Fried anything really. We did jumbo shrimp, onions, asparagus, and zucchini. It turned out ok, this is a lot harder than it looks. Ours were kinda wimpy. But still tasty.
 The oil you fry it in. That kinda got to my stomach after a while. 

Omuraisu
rice mixed with ketchup and ham covered in egg, topped with more ketchup. Doesn't seem Japanese to me but we saw it there a lot.

Udon Noodles
Large long noodles and you can add whatever you want. We added shrimp, mushrooms, and egg.

Sushi
And just a few weeks ago we had over one of Spencer's friends who is half Japanese and he made us sushi. It was so yummy. I didn't have any of the raw stuff. But this one under here is california roll with no meat. 
Then we make some with friend shrimp which was the best. So yummy.

 We made a ton of sushi and fried shrimp and had a fun night.
