Despite allergies to seafood including: crustaceans, seaweed, fish and nearly anything that comes out of the sea and my preference not to eat pork, I love Japanese food. There is probably something wrong with me, but when I am cooking I can adapt the recipe to my tastes. No gently waving bonito flakes on top of the Okonomiyaki, no garnish of seaweed in the bowl of ramen and generally no miso.
Lindsay hates carrot so these two meals were a real test to one of the tasters’ palates, but fortunately bravery was stronger than dislike.
(I have thought of substituting Vegemite for miso but that matches in with a Vegemite series I am considering so it may be a future project. I am Australian and love Vegemite.)
