Ingredients: 2 eggs 50g (1.8oz.) granulated sugar 50ml fresh cream or whipping cream *milk is okay 2 tbsp. melted butter *cooking oil is okay 100g (3.5oz) cake flour 1 tsp. baking powder a few drops of vanilla extract cooking oil
Directions: 1. Make a core tube by rolling aluminum foil. Make sure it is as wide as the pan. 2. Beat eggs in a bowl. Add sugar and mix well. Then add fresh cream and melted butter, and mix well. 3. Sift in cake flour and baking powder, and mix well. Add a few drops of vanilla extract and mix well. 4.
Heat cooking oil in a Tamagoyaki Nabe (rectangular omelet pan) on low
heat, pour (1/2 ladle of) the batter in the pan and spread over the
surface. When bubbles appear on the surface, place the core tube coated
with some oil, and start rolling (just like making Tamagoyaki). Once it
has browned, set aside. 5. Again, on low heat, spread the batter over
the surface of the pan. When bubbles appear on the surface, place the
rolled cake, roll, and set aside. Repeat this (for 5 or 6 times) until
all your batter is gone.
You can either serve immediately or
chill in the fridge before serving! It will slightly get hard in the
fridge, so leave at room temperature for a few minutes before you serve.
You can coat it with icing sugar, serve with whipped cream or ice cream if desired.

A walk through the rice paddies to Konomiya shrine, with our sun hat and
umbrella. All the other people out for a walk were grandmas and
grandpas since everyone else is either in school or at work!
はしまき (Hashimaki) is Okonomiyaki wrapped around a pair of chopsticks. It is a popular festival food in Kansai area.
If you have a collection of disposable chopsticks, this is a great recipe to use them all up. hehe
--------------------------------- Hashimaki
Difficulty: Easy Time: 20min Number of servings: 5
Necessary Equipment: 5 disposable chopsticks
Ingredients: 1 egg 1/2 tsp. Dashi powder 150ml water 100g (3.5oz.) cake flour - I think you can use all purpose flour 100g (3.5oz.) shredded cabbage cooking oil A ((optional)) * 2 tbsp. Tenkasu (crunchy bits of deep fried flour-batter) * 2 tbsp. chopped green onions * 2 tbsp. shredded cheese * 1 tbsp. Beni Shoga (red pickled ginger) B ((toppings)) * Okonomiyaki sauce * mayonnaise * Katsuobushi (bonito flakes) * Aonori (green laver)
Directions: 1. Mix Egg, Dashi powder, and water in a large bowl. Sift in cake flour and mix well. 2. Add shredded cabbage and A (optional) and mix well. 3. Heat cooking oil in a large frying pan. Spread 1 ladle of batter on the top half of the pan in an oval shape. 4.
When the edges begin to dry, place a pair of chopsticks, roll the
Okonomiyaki, and set aside. When you have made the other 4, put them
back in the pan, cover, and cook on low for 5 minutes until done. Then
cook the other side until golden brown. 5. Top with B and enjoy!
Instead of the cake flour & Dashi powder, you can use Okonomiyaki powder! It tastes much better in this way.

~ Pope to lead millions in global hour of Adoration!!!
(Vatican
Radio/ VIS) From the Cook Islands to Chile, Burkina Faso, Taiwan, Iraq,
Bangladesh, the United States, and the Philippines, people will unite in
prayer with Pope Francis this weekend before One Lord and in One faith,
for an hour of Eucharistic Adoration.
The Worldwide Eucharistic
Adoration, will be broadcast from St. Peter's Basilica next Sunday, 2
June from 5:00pm-6:00pm local time. Its theme is: "One Lord, One Faith",
which was chosen to testify to the deep unity that characterizes it in
this Year of Faith.
"It will be an event," Archbishop Fisichella
president of the Pontifical Council for Promoting the New
Evangelization, explained, "occurring for the first time in the history
of the Church, which is why we can describe it as 'historical'. The
cathedrals of the world will be synchronized with Rome and will, for an
hour, be in communion with the Pope in Eucharistic adoration. There has
been an incredible response to this initiative, going beyond the
cathedrals and involving episcopal conferences, parishes, lay
associations, and religious congregations, especially cloistered ones."
Dioceses
worldwide will be synchronized with St. Peter's and will pray for the
intentions proposed by the Pope. The first is: "For the Church spread
throughout the world and united today in the adoration of the Most Holy
Eucharist as a sign of unity. May the Lord make her ever more obedient
to hearing his Word in order to stand before the world 'ever more
beautiful, without stain or blemish, but holy and blameless.' That
through her faithful announcement, the Word that saves may still
resonate as the bearer of mercy and may increase love to give full
meaning to pain and suffering, giving back joy and serenity."
Pope
Francis' second intention is: "For those around the world who still
suffer slavery and who are victims of war, human trafficking, drug
running, and slave labour. For the children and women who are suffering
from every type of violence. May their silent scream for help be heard
by a vigilant Church so that, gazing upon the crucified Christ, she may
not forget the many brothers and sisters who are left at the mercy of
violence. Also, for all those who find themselves in economically
precarious situations, above all for the unemployed, the elderly,
migrants, the homeless, prisoners, and those who experience
marginalization. That the Church's prayer and its active nearness give
them comfort and assistance in hope and strength and courage in
defending human dignity."
--------------------------------- Easy-To-Eat Oyakodon (Chicken and Egg Rice Bowl)
Difficulty: Very Easy Time: 15min Number of servings: 2
Ingredients: 100g (3.5oz.) minced chicken 100g (3.5oz.) chopped onion A * 2 tbsp. soy sauce * 2 tbsp. Mirin (sweet Sake) * 150ml Dashi broth (you can use Dashi powder to make it) 2 eggs 4 Mitsuba (Japanese wild parsley) if you have 2 bowls of steamed rice Shichimi Togarashi (seven flavor chili pepper) if you like
Directions: 1. Cut Mitsuba (Japanese wild parsley) into an inch long pieces. 2.
Put A and chopped onion in a pot, and bring to a boil. Add minced meat,
remove the foam (dirt), then cook until the chicken is no longer pink. 3.
Pour in the beaten egg, gently stir, add Mitsuba, cover, and turn off
the heat after a few seconds when the eggs are half-boiled. 4. Serve on the rice in a bowl. Sprinkle with Shichimi Togarashi if you like.
Directions: 1.
Preheat the oven to 170C (325F). Separate the eggs and place the whites
in a large bowl. Let your egg whites sit in the refrigerator to keep
them cold until you are ready to use them (which makes the meringue more
stable). 2. Place the chocolate (broken into pieces) in a large
bowl. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler over hot water (60C/140F).
Then add the cream cheese and melt them together. Remove the bowl from
the double boiler, add the egg yolks, and mix well. 3. In a large
bowl, whip egg whites with an electric mixer until firm peaks form. *If
it's thick enough, you can turn the bowl upside down without it sliding
out. 4. Add 1/3 Meringue into the cream cheese batter and blend well
with a spatula. Then add the rest of the Meringue 1/2 at a time and mix
well. 5. Rub some oil/butter on parchment paper (in this way, the
cake can slide down when it shrinks, so you can prevent the cake from
cracking). Line the round cake pan with the parchment paper. Pour the
batter into the pan and drop the pan lightly on the counter to raise the
air bubbles out of the batter. 6. Place the cake pan on a baking
sheet. Pour some hot water into the baking sheet. Bake at 170C (338F)
for 15 minutes, 160C (320F) for 15 minutes, then stop the heat and bake
with the remaining heat for 15 minutes. 7. When it is done, place the cake pan on a wire rack to cool completely.
You
can either serve immediately or chill in the fridge before serving! It
will slightly get hard in the fridge, so leave at room temperature for a
few minutes before you serve.
You can brush the cake with some
apricot jam syrup and/or dust with powdered sugar (confectioner's sugar)
to finish. You can serve it with whipped cream if desired.
