Ham & Cheese

Monday's lunch consists of soybean salad, coffee shortbread, and ham sandwiches.

For the sandwiches, I used sliced cheddar cheese, sliced deli-style ham, rosemary mayo, and onion bread.  To make the rosemary mayo I simply chopped up some fresh rosemary and mixed it into some mayonnaise.  I used to volunteer at a vegetarian restaurant that made the best sandwiches with rosemary mayo so I wanted to try to make some at home.  The onion rolls are from my sister's work but the cheese and ham are just from the grocery store.  I cut the edges off so they would fit in the bento box.

For the soybean salad, I thawed frozen soybeans and then made a dressing with soy sauce, mirin, rice vinegar, and sesame seeds.

You can find the recipe for the cookies here.

A quick, simple lunch!

Oops

such a valuable bread

sooooo i never went to the store and i had to rewrite my menu for next week?  good news is, now it includes dinner.  I won't post it in case I end up having to change it again though.

I did try my hand at yakisoba bread, as seen above.  It is OK, would have been better if I had proper noodles and some cabbage and real sauce.  This is made with ramen noodles, carrot shreds, green onions, and mushrooms.  I also didn't have oyster sauce so I put a drop of fish sauce in with some (probably anicent) hoisin sauce i found in the refrigerator.  The bread is ciabatta that my sister brought home from her work.  I cut a slit into it, rubbed some butter on the inside, and then toasted it before stuffing it with noodles.

It looks good, though right?
