Well, I had some nira (chives) and cabbage left from yesterday's "experiment"...so I bought some pork and added it to all these veggies. When everything was just about wilted and the pork was cooked through I added a tablespoon of cooking sake (rice wine), a dash of torigara soup (powdered soup that is made from the bones of the chicken), 2 teaspoons of oyster sauce, salt, pepper and some sesame oil.
As for a soup, I added a packet of the torigara soup to 3 cups of water, then added dried hotate (scallops). When everything came to a boil, I broke up the scallops and added green onions and stirred in a scrambled egg.Preparation and cooking took a total of 30 minutes...fast, easy and delish!

Hi Kat,
Thanks for the encouragement, I so need that right now! More importantly, lots of thanks for posting yummy pics of what you've been cooking...a homecooked meal just can't be beat!
Glad to send some yummy pics your way, Rowena. :) Hope you get some down time soon!
Take care.

So, how did the bones of the chicken taste-you are so adventurous-that's a good thing! Looks delicious!!Happy Cooking!
Hi Jann,
It is powdered chicken bones that when added to hot water--makes a soup. It tasted great!
Take care.
Kat
oohh the soup looks very refreshing!
The torigara sounds interesting... makes me wonder now what's really in the chicken stock powder/cubes that we get from the supermarket. at least your torigara tells you that it's made from chicken bones. (??)
Gosh Ilingc,
There must all kinds of "stuff" in chicken stock powder, I think the Torigara might have more than just the bones...
Take care.

Yummy - fast, easy, healthy and delicious! I need to do more of this kind of cooking :(
Hi Ellie,
I like fast, easy & not always healthy, especially when I'm feeling lazy to cook.
Happy Holidays!

good point kat. i guess i just never thought about "what is" actually in stock powders until you mentioned torigara.
i always thought that it was just dehydrated liquid chicken stock.
i think i'll just pretend that this thought never occured to me (ever!). i use a lot of chicken stock powder in my cooking, might just have to pretend to be ignorant now.. lol
happy holidays. :)
Yup, pretend you don't know about it, Ilingc! I actually stopped using some of these powdered stocks when BSE (mad cow disease) and the Avian flu (affecting chickens) were found here in Japan.
Happy Holidays!
