Teppan-yaki
Daughter had arrived had been fed for lunch( Spaghetti Vongole) it was now down to what to have that evening, we had purchased a Teppan-yaki grill a couple of years ago and use it quite regularly. We dug it out and started making the marinades and dips, slicing the fish, meat and vegetables. Teppan–yaki is a great method of eating (as are most Japanese eating methods and foods).
I had decided on having a miso soup with Udon noodles and dried bonito flakes for starters.
The fish:
Giant wild caught prawns
St Jacobs, marinated in soy and lemon grass
Tuna belly, in a light soy, oyster sauce chilli dressing
Tilapia in a fish sauce
Crab claws
Fresh Oysters (we ate these raw)
Meat:
A mixture of marinated game, pheasant breast, rabbit filet, hare filet.
Vegetables:
Green Asparagus
Spring onions
Sugar snap peapods
Shitake mushrooms
Zucchinis shaved thin
Red paprika cut into strips
Gari
Wasabi
Soya-sauce
Terri-yaki sauce
The great thing about this is that everyone eats at their own pace and as much or as little as one wishes. The plate is heated and a little neutral oil (we used peanut) applied, either drizzled or brushed, the eatables laid on the grill and in a few minutes they are ready to be dunked in a sauce and eaten. Only one cooking utensil needed, wonderful. We had a fantastic evening.
