hi MM, i really like your veggie dish above (the stir fried one) and im looking forward to make one for my husband, i just want to ask where can i buy bonito flakes, any familiar supermarket here in QC or manila, im a stay at home mom and i want to make miso soup and simmered dishes for my hubby since it’s his favorite..and can you send me some less cholesterol dishes because my in-laws and my husband are “high-blood people” and i want to serve them delicious yet healthy foods. thank you very much

I usually make myself a light lunch by cooking a bundle of soba noodles & cooling it off right away under cold running water. I add furikake (I keep a few different kinds in jars), S&P, sesame seeds & oil & then some Maggi original or calamansi flavored (I probably pay a premium for these at the Asian market I get it from in Bloomfield, NJ) & then some chopped scallions.

Sometimes, instead of furikake, I add some bagged sea weeds or some preserved Chinese veggies (radishes and snow cabbage).

Its simple & light & satisfying. and yes, meatless!

By the way MM and Readers start including gabi on your sinigang as it will help you to be healthy and mag mumukhang bata pa kayo minus all the wrinkles. You don’t need Vicky Belo.

There is a village in Japan called Yuzuri Hara where the residents regularly live to over ninety or more – and are still amazingly fit and healthy, not to mention youthful – fewer wrinkles than the average 50-year old. Amazingly â€˜The doctor is in danger of becoming redundant. Diseases such as cancer and Alzheimers are virtually unknown here, even among heavy smokers.

The soba actuallty lowers cholersterol and high blood pressure. It is best eaten cold with ice….Also simmering it with green tea will elavate the taste further. There is an available dipping sauce in a bottle that you can buy in any supermarket or japanese specialty store and mix the dipping sauce with a bit of wasabi and spring onion. This is one of our quick 5 mins meal.

hi mm community. kamusta na po mr.mm, bettyq, marissewalangkaparis, dadd-f, and others. been out of network for sometime and i missed lots of info. thanks for posting info relevant for the season. what other meatless dishes can we serve other than the usual guisadong gulay, pakbet, bulanglang, monggo guisado, paksiw, sarciado, etc? thanks a lot.

bettyq, i like the way you recycled your hainanese chicken. this time its okay to make some more chicken because it will be ressurected into some form. thanks and keep it coming.

marissewalangkaparis, yes… hope we get to have that mini-eb after march or the holyweek season…

dadd-f: i made your version of the home-made yogurt. its superdali. parang sourdough, nagtatabi na ako ng starter for next batch.

have a great march 2009 everyone!

Another alternative would be sauteing the veggies with Japanese miso paste. Or using a peanut-sesame sauce.

MC: Furikake can come in pouches or small bottles. It has shaved bonito flakes, sesame seeds, nori strips and some more stuff. I’m out of it so i cannot list the other ingredients now. But the one in pouches I think says…RICE TOPPING as well. Dashi on the other hand is straight bonito I think mainly used for stock…like for miso soup.

Cold soba is so good. I will try bettyq and Maria Clara’s sauces. Bettyq,read all the posts since the 24th and came across your cookie recipe. Will try that. I have been quiet as our SERVER went bonkers so we had no internet since the 24th. Gee,I had withdrawal symptoms…Marketman,will do the same to other veggies. I too have to watch my choles…..

BettyQ: furikake is this the shaved dried bonito that comes in a clear plastic packet at oriental market? Is it different from dashi? Thanks in advance.
