Cooking by the sister

Various bits and pieces of stuff that the sister fed us: this was some dried fish fin that was grilled in the toaster oven that was super yummy and fragrant.

The sister's carbonara pasta on a dark and stormy night - the day the typhoon hit Tokyo.

Crab cakes with salsa. Yum.

Filled with crab and fish.

Lovely (possibly GM) Japanese strawberries, or ichigo

Vongole pasta with asari on another night

A home-made salad of lady's fingers and tomatoes

Dipped in a coconut cream sauce

Mentaiko pasta

Pigs ears

On our final night in Tokyo, the sister was nice enough to prepare a wonderful farewell sukiyaki meal at home for us before we headed to Haneda. This was similar to our 2010 NYE meal at her place but a lot less elaborate.
The pot is heated up and oiled with beef fat

Then the spring onions and onions go in

Check out the marbling

In the beef goes

And it cooks

Almost there

Ta da!

Mochi - fantastic with the beef juices

Everything else in the pot

Veggies at the end
