"Takiawase"

"Mushrooms with Age rice"

「きのこの炊き込みご飯」

"Japanese pancake with red beans"

「片面大判焼き」

I made a simple Japanese dinner on the moon night.  We don't do much of moon night celebration in Japan but we have rice cake for the night.  Traditional Japanese moon rice cake is very different from Chinese moon cake but I made something far different as fried potato balls for the similar look of it.

Cooked vegetables are better after I set them over night so I made them a day before.  I didn't go to Japanese super market so I only made them with local ingredients.

「お月見の晩」月見団子に見立てたジャガイモの揚げ団子を作ってみた。味噌味にしたので、色が濃くなってしまった。お煮しめに、鶏の揚げの挟みと海老を加えて炊き合わせにした。ローカルスーパの材料のみで作ったので、なんちゃって和食。
