メンチカツ【40代夫婦と1歳娘家族の父が毎晩作る夕ご飯】
Would you sit down and eat. I’ve decided to make menchi katsu tonight. First, I’ll slice the cabbage into thin strips to serve on the side. Next, I’ll finely chop the cabbage to mix into the menchi katsu. I usually cook what I feel like eating that day. My wife has no likes or dislikes, so it’s easy for me. The ingredients for the miso soup are komatsuna (Japanese mustard spinach) and fried tofu. We rarely buy ground meat. I use a food processor to chop the meat instead. I use half of the egg for the filling and half for the batter. There’s too much cabbage, so it’s difficult to shape them properly. Actually, I’m feeling quite rushed at this moment. I’m still feeling a bit rushed at this point. It seems like it’s going to work out, so I’m feeling a bit relieved. Feeling more relaxed, I managed to move the camera and shoot. The dish is ready. ITADAKIMASU! (Let’s eat!) She is slurping the soup. Is it tasty? (to the baby) She is taking a big bite! Uhhh. How is it? I’ll eat it right away too. Did you put something on the menchi-katsu? I put Worcestershire sauce on it. Uhhh. Yum! Today, you know… I was about to mess up making the menchi-katsu. Why? The filling was too loose, making it hard to shape. Did it not hold together? It was tough to shape it. It’s shaped nicely! Is it good? It’s very good! Wow She was able to eat the menchi-katsu too! She was able to eat the menchi-katsu too! Looks like she’s going for another bite! Nom! You ate it so well! About tomorrow morning… Since there’s one left for each of us… What? The menchi-katsu? Let’s sandwich it in bread and eat it! Sounds good! Then let’s do that! Great! I’m looking forward to it!
