Today's Homemade Dinner [Okra Meat Rolls]

Normally, you'd use pork belly for this, but I used thinly sliced pork, so there are some variations in thickness. However, I succeeded with the meat seasoning, making it so good I couldn't stop eating rice! But, the characteristic sliminess of okra affected the texture, and it felt different from okra dressed with mentsuyu (Japanese soy sauce based seasoning), giving it a strange texture. Some people might not like it. What you see in the container is the leftover meat that was short, microwaved, cut into small pieces, and mixed with mentsuyu! If I had bonito flakes, it would have been perfect, but unfortunately, I didn't have any at home... 😣 Even so, it's delicious, and I'm enjoying both okra dishes. (I'll probably leave the mentsuyu-dressed one.) For the other dish, I had some potatoes left, so I made German potatoes for the first time in a while. It's a favorite dish of mine since home economics class. I love the sweetness of the onions, the saltiness of the bacon and salt & pepper, and the fluffy texture of the potatoes. I wonder if I can save some of this for my husband... lol Each dish has its own new discoveries and classic flavors, so when you have the ingredients, give them a try!🍴
