The Mouse also picked up from the grocery store “Japanese Potato Salad”. Large chunks of potato mixed with Japanese pickles (namasu) and mayo. Clearance item.
Japanese Potato Salad
The Mouse likes the clearance section at the grocery store, chance to try something different with less buyer’s remorse. Or a good deal on favorites. Must have Forrest Gump chocolate box mindset. Hee hee.
The last Costco run, The Cat bought a package of prunes. The package sat in the pantry. The Mouse has been nibbling, but not a favorite.
The Mouse looked for a recipe that would incorporate pork and prunes. Found one.
The Mouse took a piece of pork rib, five or six prunes, enough water to braise. Added ginger and coconut vinegar (whatever was in the pantry). One wood-ear fungus, rehydrated, boiled, sliced into strips.
Before serving, added head cabbage. A German chef once told The Mouse that pork, cabbage and vinegar works well.
