This is pretty much heaven! did you manage to get it crunchy like a bourbon or was it more like a sponge cake?

It's somewhere inbetween, like a soft cookie. There's plenty left if you're walking to East Yorkshire this afternoon 😆

For lunch I attempted the Japanese dish omu-rice. Which is basically an omelette on rice, but covered in a type of gravy or ketchup. I just used a microwave packet of rice and I overcooked the omelette a bit. It wasn't the best looking thing which is why I didn't take a picture, but the sauce definitely made it really nice. This is the recipe I followed, but being a filthy gaijin who disrespect Nihon I didn't use chopsticks.

 

Ah, Jun's Kitchen! I found it through the immensely-satisfying video he made of repairing and sharpening a rusty, dull knife. Cathartic.

In Osaka, I found a restaurant that specialises in omu-rice - could have it with steamed or fried rice, the egg cooked to varying degrees, and lots of different sauces, not just curry or gravy. I particularly remember a chicken-and-herb cream sauce they did which was gorgeous. (I don't know any Japanese who eats omu-rice with chopsticks.)

That sauce sounds easy enough to do with a couple of chicken stock cubes. I  was also talking more about using spatula to cook the egg rather than chopsticks. I just went HAM with a spoon and since I was starving by this point the plate lasted less than 10 minutes.

Watched a terrible film recently, as mentioned in the film thread, but was intrigued by the mention of ANZAC biscuits. Had a go at them. Beautiful biscuits. Oats and coconut give a great flavour and then syrup and sugar a chewiness. So easy too. I used a recipt off an NZ website as thought it'd be more authentic.

Ingredients:

1 cup rolled oats
1 cup thread coconut
1 cup flour
1 cup sugar
125g butter
2 Tbsp golden syrup
1 tsp baking soda
2 Tbsp boiling water

Mix all your dry ingredients except the baking powder. Gently melt the butter and syrup together, then take off the heat and dissolve the baking powder in the water and add to it. Then add to the dry and mix until a dough forms. Roll into balls of whatever size you want (I went for about big conkers), flatten to about 1cm on your baking papaer lined tray and bake at 180/160fan for 12-15 mins.

Made Sweet Potato burgers for tea last night. Vegan too, though the breadcakes aren't! Not sure if i made them too thick or the pan wasn't hot enough but they didn't get quite crisp enoguh but the taste was superb. Simple as microwave baking 3 smallish sweet potatoes, mushing up when cool, adding clove of garlic, half a red onion, couple of tablspoons of tinned sweetcorn, teaspoon of paprika, handful of coriander and 50g breadcrumbs. Form into burgers, chill and then fry. Really easy.

Did these too. Individual oreo cheesecakes. These are incredible.

Instead of using all the suggested sugar, I swapped it for the filling I scraped out of the middle.
