Milk and toast

Diet Pepsi - $1.25



Mochi balls


Corn soup, omelet, salad, fruit salad, OJ - $6 from bistro

The soup was good but very peppery and gave me the hiccups (why is that?) The omelet... well let's just say I am not a fan of puffy omelets. And the fruit salad was frozen solid. Soo...

Banana from the bistro - free

Green tea cookie

Berry bar from the bistro - free

Chips - $1.25

For dinner, I made sautéed tofu in miso-ginger sauce. I always improvise the sauce but basically, it's a mix of white miso, pepper sauce, maple syrup, mirin, rice vinegar and fresh ginger. You dredge the tofu in rice flour (it prevents it from becoming dry and hard) and sautée it in a tiny bit of oil, then add the sauce and a little bit of water.



Don't let it stand in the pan - just heat it through. Otherwise, it'll bake and stick to the pan.

Miso-ginger tofu, garlic peppers, rice with matcha salt
