Fried rice with steak | Ep.107

[@swissfoodie3542]

I like this menu, because I love soup, and I also like egg fried rice. I dont eat meat when I am at home (only when I travel), so I would leave out the steak, or use tofu, mushrooms or shrimp instead. I am quite impressed, that you cook a soup for almost every menu you present here. I also like soups a lot, but for me, they are not side dishes, but the main meal. I mostly prepare vegetable soups, where I use whatever vegetables and/or pulses I have (carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, onion, zuchinni, cabbage, beans, mushrooms, spinach, chickpeas, lentils etc.). After cooking them in a broth, which might be spicy, I blend them up and add a little bit of cream. And eat it with bread, and often pieces of hard cheese that I put into the soup, so that the cheese can melt a little bit. That is a warming and filling meal and I love that in autumn and winter.

I am also a fan of "Bortsch", a soup from the Ukraine (I hope this country will get freedom soon), which is also eaten in countries like Poland and Russia. Its a vegetable soup made from onion, beetroot, carrots and pickled cabbage. It also includes a lot of fresh dill, and it is served with plenty of sour cream. If its done well, it is so delicious. I tasted the best bortsch on a business trip to Poland and the Ukraine many years ago. Since then, I have tried to recreate it at home. I get it tasty, but not quite like it was there. I must miss one secret ingredient or procedure ;-).

I didn't know that borscht was a Ukrainian dish! (I too hope that Ukraine will be free as soon as possible.) I know about borscht, but in Japan it is famous as a Russian dish. I would also love to try the delicious borscht you remember. In my family, we have soup for dinner almost every day. Sometimes it is the main dish, but usually it is a side dish. In Japanese food, there is the concept of “one soup and three other dishes” or “one soup and one other dish”, so perhaps the perception is that side dishes and soup are different things.

@@Japanese_homecooking_sho Thank you for your reply Sho. Its very interesting to learn about the concept of Japanese food. P.S. I also always sought that Bortsch is from Russiak but got corrected when I visited the Ukraine many years ago.

This meal looks really delicious.Is it possible to put the recipe on the side so that I can make it?

Thank you for your comment. Right now we only have the ingredients on the site, but we hope to post the recipe someday. If we were native English speakers, we could easily write recipes, but it's difficult to convey the subtle nuances of a recipe in English, so we share them on video. But we know it is easier to understand if we have a recipe, so we will do our best.
