Brekkie Part One

At our house, there's only three kinds of brekkie dishes.  I would love to make other things like pancakes, hash browns, waffles...the normal brekkie food stuff.  But my Bandie Wandie will only ask for these three dishes: udon, the "normal" brekkie, and the "normal" burrito brekkie.  The "normal" brekkie consists of toast, bacon, two fried eggs well done and the "normal" brekkie burrito consists of 3 tortillas, 2 eggs scrambled with bacon and kernel corn.  

Today, my Bandie Wandie asked for udon....FYI Japanese people do not eat udon for breakfast...

Udon Brekkie a la Chanzie Bear

Here's the recipe, for one serving:

One package udon

One package crab imitation

Few slices of fish cakes

One egg

Slices of daikon

Slices of carrots

1 1/2 cups of water

2 tablespoons of udon tsuyu (udon soup broth)

1/2 tablespoon of mirin (japanese rice vinegar)

2 tablespoons  of agetama (fried batter)

Boil the carrots and daikon until soft.

Boil udon for about 6 minutes then run cold water for a few seconds.  (This makes it "al dente")

Put udon in large serving bowl.

In a sauce pan, boil the water and udon tsuyu together and put daikon and carrots.  Drop egg and wait until it cooks. 

Put sauce pan soup mixture in to the large serving bowl.

Garnish with crab, agetama and fish cakes. (scallions or japanese green onions if you have some).
