Sri Lanka lunch with Masa

Banana cake for dessert

マサと待ち合わせて、五反田のアラリヤランカ、スリランカ食堂のランチプレートと野菜のランプライス。バナナの葉を開くと良い香りが。混ぜながら、無心でいただく。最初はそれほど辛くなかったのに、だんだんと辛くなり、でも油が少ないので、難なく完食。鶏肉かと思ったのはジャックフルーツ。お取り寄せもしているそう。ご馳走様でした！

Shiso basil paste

Pesto on paccheri

間引いた紫蘇の葉を使ってペーストを作った。ニンニクの香りが強くて紫蘇の香りがしないのが残念。改良の余地ありです。

Made paste with Japanese shiso basil that I thinned out. I could smell garlic more than the basil. Need some improvements...

minced zha cai, pickled mustard plant stem over tofu

Chinese chive and pork over noodles that I found a recipe on DANCYU. and minced zha cai, pickled mustard plant stem over tofu. I should've had spicy sesame oil over it to add some kicks...

馬告香腸/マーガオソーセージ

Litsea cubeba, "mountain pepper" called maqaw in sausage

新竹米粉/ ビーフン炒め Rice noodle

白山のalsoへ。なかなかの人の入り。馬告が何かよく分からず、胡椒か山椒か、でもなんだか香りが違うと思って後で調べてみると、台湾の珍しいスパイスとのこと。

『台湾の原住民「泰雅（タイヤル）族」が、古来より調味料として長らく愛用してきた「馬告」（マーガオ）。見た目は黒胡椒のようだが、"ピリッとした辛味" と "ほのかな苦味" に加え、"強烈なレモングラスの香り" を放つ、それは不思議な香辛料。』

Didn't know what the spice mixed in the sausage was so I looked it up later, and found out it's a unique spice found in Taiwan. "Black pepper looking, sharp spiciness and a light bitterness, and scent of lemongrass."
