I am getting much more ambitious and adventurous when it comes to cooking. On Monday, I watched a Japanese friend make some dishes, so I decided to give some of them a try before I forgot how to make them. This week has consisted of okonomiyaki (kind of like an omelet), yaki soba and kawara soba (different types of fried noodles and meats). Maybe tomorrow I'll make chijimi (a Korean type vegetable pancake). It's amazing how incredibly easy some of these things are to make when you know what to do. The power of reading instructions!
