The local diner chain month special, katsu SPAM curry rice. The Mouse is intriqued. The line to order is out the door. Nope. Second choice, a ramen shop, fried eggplant curry rice. Closed on Wednesdays. Deep sigh.
Plan C, one pot bowl at home.
Bowl
Pasta shells, frozen peas and carrots, tin of sardines, wakame, salt and pepper, and dash of Worcestershire sauce.
The Cat brought home a couple of frozen items. The Cat didn’t care for the won ton soup so brought home for The Mouse. Remember the Life cereal commercial with Mikey?
There was also a package of buns filled with lotus seed filling.
The won ton soup:
Frozen State
Instructions only for microwave cooking, ugh. The Mouse placed the contents into boiling water and simmered for a couple of minutes.
Bowl #1
Everything except for the carrot came in the container.
Bowl #2
The Mouse added more frozen vegetables and wakame seaweed.
Overall impression, and The Mouse tried twice, was meh. The noodles and won ton wrapping was a little mushy. Given the choice, The Mouse prefers the frozen saimin with added SPAM and kamaboko.
The buns faired better in The Mouse’s opinion.
Lotus Seed Buns
Steamed for a couple of minutes, kinda nom, not favorite, but acceptable.
