Although most of the time I have lunch and dinner at the University I would like to learn how to cook so I can make better food and probably save money as well.
One thing that I don't eat often in the University is cow meat so I went to the supermarket to buy some. It is funny to see that they cut meat so thin that it looks like Spanish "Jamon". I didn't follow any recipe but I just found that what came out is quite similar to
Gyûdon (牛丼), a typical cheap Japanese fast food!
I cooked some onion in low fire and then added two eggs in order to resemble a sort of sauce that I have tried in a dish at the University.
So here is my made-up dish haha. Please don't make fun of me :). When I cook I don't like following recipes but trying to use my intuition. Somehow during my life I've get used to this learning-by-mistake procedure. In this case, the food was tasty and I could enjoy it with a Manga that I found on a bench.
Next day I made a variation and I cooked it with rice. After cleaning well the rice I boiled it for 25 minutes or so with low fire because I wanted it to come out sticky so I could pick it up with the chopsticks. It was surprising that I was successful on it so maybe this sticky properties are something inherent in the Japanese rice. Normally, Japanese have a machine called "suihanki" that cooks the rice almost perfect.
