Barley with edamame, broccoli slaw, and carrot ginger black sesame paste
Alcoholic beverages
Japanese cuisine
Normally, I cook for just my husband and myself but now I am cooking for my brother and sister-in-law, Debbie. They've got a pretty sweet deal, I cook and they pay me for the groceries and a bit extra for my elbow grease. They are also my landlords, so I am extra nice! My brother works long hours at the family auto part store and Debbie works too, so there is always some kind of a grain salad that has the option of being heated, eaten cold, or at room temperature. Diana gets some too. <br />The barley is hearty and carries the paste flavors well while the broccoli slaw gives crunch and the edamame an earthy grassyness Debbie loves Asian flavors, so this was a winner this week. I use the paste as an all purpose condiment as well, slathered on rice crackers, quick sushi rolls with brown rice and shrimp, or as a vehicle for crudite. I am tempted to make it into a dumpling with pork or shrimp too.
