Japanese food

Tonight I had a plan to make Japanese food, I was thinking of Chicken Teriyaki and Tofu Miso Soup but I didn’t have miso paste and teriyaki sauce.
Well, it didn’t stop not to make those foods. Instead using miso paste, I made bean paste and instead of using teriyaki sauce, I use mixture of oyster sauce, soy sauce and sweet soy sauce.

For tofu miso soup, boil 2 tablespoons of bean paste with 500 ml water (better using fresh vegetable stock), add 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 200 gr dice sliced tofu if you don’t have fresh vegetable stock, you could use vegetable cube, add it at the boiling bean paste, add chopped spring onion, salt and sugar. At the end put the roasted seaweed.

And for chicken teriyaki, 200 gr thin sliced chicken breast mix with salt and white pepper and 2 beat eggs, put chicken slice by slice on the corn flour until covered then deep fry all the chicken till finish.
Sautee 2 cloves sliced garlic, 1 big onion (thin sliced), some sliced of ginger until brown, add 5 tablespoons oyster sauce, 5 tablespoons of sweet soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 100 ml of water.
Add sliced spring onion, sesame seeds, salt and sugar. Stir well. Add deep fry of chicken covered with corn flour, stir well until all the sauce covering the chicken, cook until ready. Turn off the fire then add splash of sesame oil.
