Homemade Japanese BBQ Sauce

Wednesday Dinner

- Takikomi Gohan (Japanese Seasoned Rice)

- Stir-fried Lamb Strips with Eggplant and Red Capsicum

- Miso Soup (Turnip, Lettuce, Wakame)

My "Sick of Meat Syndrome" is ongoing so a Japanese dinner last night.  Soy sauce based Takikomi gohan is cooked with bonito flakes, wild mushrooms and carrot.  There were still a lot of meat on the leftover leg of lamb, so I made a stir-fry.  Fry chopped eggplant with lamb fat with a lid on until tender then add chopped red capsicum, leftover roast lamb strips and 1Tbsp of Homemade Japanese BBQ Sauce.  Served with rice and miso soup.  My Japanese BBQ sauce is naturally sweet without added sweetener.  It goes well with any protein but beef and lamb are my recommendation.
