Lol, someone actually made that Japan Big Smile

.
Btw. the recipe for tempura is fairly easy, I can give it to you if you want to.
Ow, and sushi is nice as well, just quite some work (somehow whenever I try to make it, i'm always in the kitchen for several hours). I really liked some maki with surimi and mayonaise on the inside and ikura on top. That was great!

What is your regular food ? I mean what do u usually take ?

breakfast ?
Well its usually apple or orange juice with bread and spread here most of the time + coffee (regular one with milk)

lunch ?
green apple + instant noodles + coffee

dinner ?
usually its rice with peas, chicken pan fried and some salad n some curry with tofu and vegies

Ohh n did I say that, all of those was on a really GOOD DAY Sad

Unfortunately I don't get the inspiration to go to kitchen and prepare delicious food Sad

where do u guys/gals get inspiration for cooking food ? If its just cooking for your self ?

This is my eating schedule hehe...

Breakfast
A bun filled with some brie and salad or some fried meat(yeah in the morning) like chicken or pork and bean sauce *yummie...
But sometimes I want to eat some healthy stuff, like cereals with milk...
I always drink a mug of tea with breakfast...

Lunch
A mug of tea or a bottle of mineral water...
And a baguette with some salad or stir fried rice or something like that...

Dinner
Rice with some Chinese veggies, some stir fried or steamed fish or stir fried chicken or pork...

Btw, I usually don't cook dinner myself, so I don't need any inspiration for cooking dinner hehe... But when I do cook for myself, most of the time I like to make some pasta with a nice tomatoe sauce, cuz it doesn't take too much time... I don't want to spend hours in the kitchen just cooking for me Tongue

... Or I make some sushi to enjoy it all day Big Smile

1 a simple recipe for tempurashrimps used in some kind of sushi

Fill a wok or a deep frying pan with oil and heat it at 170 degrees C or until a piece of bread turns brown in about 60 seconds.

For the tempura-dough (can you call it dough, it's more pancake-dough ish) put 1/10 L water in a bowl and (screen) 100 g of flour in it, mix it with a fork. Dip the shrimps (8 big ones, but I think you can throw in whatever you like in it, also vegetables) and fry them for 3-4 minutes in the oil until they're gold-brown. Scoop them out of the oil and let them leak on a piece of (kitchen-paper?, you know the big pieces of toilet paper not used in the toilet)
You're done

Another recipe I found in a cook-book, also for tempura shrimps, but can be used for other things as well
1 Heaten one dining spoon of oil in a frying pan and bake the scampis(or gambas, 600 g) untill they're pink, peal them, but leave the tail. Cut them for 2/3 of their length.
Pour 2/10 L icecold water in a bowl and stir 1 egg, some salt and pepper and 100 g of flour through it. Stir another 100 g of flour gently through the mass until there's a nice homogenous dough, leave 2 dining spoons of flour separately on a plate. Leave the dough alone for 1 hour, than add another 2/10 L of water through it while sirring.
Heaten 1/2 L olive oil in a deep frying pan (you know the temperature now).
mix 2/10 L of vegetable bouillon (you know that?), 4 dining spoons of porto (or even better mirin), 3 dining spoons of finely rasped ginger and 2 dining spoons of soy sauce in a deep pan.
Dip the shrimps in the flour on the plate and dip them afterwards one by one in the dough. Let the dough drip off a bit. Bake the shrimps 3 minutes in the oil, leave them drip on some kitchen paer and immediately serve with the sauce and some cooked rice.

The tempura-dough recipe can be used for other things as well. I don't know the second recipe, but if you add some mirin in the first one, it tastes better imho

Btw. the English terminology may be bad (I never cooked using English cookbooks or anything of the kind), please improve me where wrong
