I went to Meidi-Ya, a Japanese supermarket in Singapore, today.

I hadn't been there for a while cos it is kinda far from where I live.

 

Whenever I go there, I buy a lot of things and end up carrying heavy stuff back home.

And it is really tiring when I have to walk to the station for 15 mins and take train, change lines, then walk for another 10 mins to the super market.

 

But today, I realized that there is a direct bus from my place to right outside of the supermarket!

 

It still took a while and was tiring, but it was great that I didn't have to carry heavy groceries and walk for more than 30 mins under really hot sun!

 

 

Today I bought fresh saba.

We can get frozen saba from local supermarkets

but I realized that they are very smelly and not tasty at all.

 

So Today I bought fresh ones from Meidi-ya and made Saba no Miso ni today.

 

 

I also bought veggies, okara, Japanese fish balls, chicken, etc...

I was so happy to see fresh veggies sold in small potions!

 

But then after I got home,,, I realized that asparagus I just bought from Meidi-ya today was

MOULDY!!!!!

 OMG...

 

I had just claimed that veggies in Meidi-ya were fresh

and straight after that, I found out that it was not quite true...

 

 

How upsetting!

 

After travelling a long distance and purchasing a lot of things...

what I've got was mouldy asparagus...

I am not happy at all, Meidi-ya...!!!   :(

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh well... Saba was fresh,

So I made a very tasty Saba no Miso ni.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ssaba no Miso ni recipe

 

 

Ingredients: FRESH saba 2 pieces

Mirin 3 table spoons

Soya sauce 1 table spoon

Miso 3 table spoons

Water 1 cup

Ginger 1/4 cup (after slicing it thinly)

 

 

 

 

 

*Preparation1: Cut a cross on Saba so that Saba absorbs the sauce later

2: Boil the saba lightly and get rid of the water.
(*just to note that "water 1 cup" listed under the ingredients above is not for this preparation but for the sauce we cook later on.)

 

Instructions:

 

1. Place all the ingredience in a pan except for miso.

(When you place the saba  in a pan, make sure its skin is up).

2. Once the sauce started to boil, add miso in.

3 Place an alminium foil as Otoshi buta.

(Otoshi buta=dropped lid, is a lid which directly covers the ingredients placed inside of a pan or pod.

You can google search its pictures)

 

Cook till the saba absorbs most of the miso sauce.
