After Shinsokan Meditation: delicious lunch

Wednesday morning the ladies from the SNI centre meet at 10:30am and does the Shinsokan prayers and read the sutra and does some exercise till lunch. Last Wednesday, Mrs. Atsuko Yoshinaga decided to share her Monja recipe with us and cooked it on a large electric circular frypan.

She prepared some vegetables beforehand 1/2 cabbage, chopped small 2 green onions, handful of shrimp, handful of green nori, small fish eggs, 2 -3 sliced cheese.

She fried these in oil stirring constantly and when done, she opened up an area in the centre and had 3 cups of dashi soup, 1 cup flour, 2 tbsp. of worcestershire sauce, and mixed it up with the cooked ingredients. It appeared like scrambled eggs when it was finished but it tasted good and Mrs. Kuromi brought a ague rice which the rice was flavoured in shoyu and mirin and sugar. Takkuwan and rounds of small toasted french bread with blueberry and strawberry jam. A delightful lunch with 7 of the ladies and apparently they do this cooking session every so often.

Here's some pictures of the event. Satoye
