Whole squid pot and mushroom 12/06/08

I made a whole squid pot tonight. Squid is wonderful ingredient for diet.
Low fat, low calorie, high protein. Also I love inner part of squid, Japanese call "wata"

Sometime, I make pasta dish and marinated fresh sqid with wata "shiokara", I made oven dish with "squid's legs and wata" tonight.

About mushroom, I love any kind of mushroom, enoki, shimeji, shitake, eringe.

Mushroom are low calorie, rich for fiber and vitamin b2, also helps prevent cancer.

I always freeze eringe and shitake and use them without defrosting for cooking.

Squid pot: 1 Squid, 1/2 pack Seafood mix, 1/4 Nappa (coarsely), 1/4 Daikon(half moon), 3 Eringe mushroom, 1/2 Tofu,

Harusame (yam noodle), Green onion, 6 cup water, 2 Tbsp chicken powder, 1 dashi powder, 1 Tbsp sugar (mirin), 1 Tbsp soy sauce, 3 Tbsp cooking sake.
