Eggs in Curry Vinegar
- Put your boiled eggs in a jar.
- Cover with 2/3 vinegar and 1/3 water.
- Sprinkle curry powder to your taste.
- Cover. Let for two days.

I put mine in the fridge. It says it?s good for two weeks but think since in vinegar could go longer. A friend of mine says she keeps the vinegar for few more goes.

Yaki Onigiri with Shiitake
- 200g sushi rice
- 80g fresh shiitake

- soy sauce
- oil
- sesame oil

(1) Wash rice thoroughly and cook - I put it in a bowl with water just covering it and microwaved for 10 min. Then stirred and added some more water, microwaved 2 min, but a rice cooker should also do.
(2) Cut shiitake in slices and fry in a bit of oil, adding soy sauce half way through frying time.
(3) Cut shiitake in small pieces and mix with rice and furikake.
(4) Use onigiri mold to form onigiri from rice mixture - make sure to press them really firmly.
(5) Heat some sesame oil and fry onigiri from both sides, turning them over VERY carefully.
(6) When browned on both sides, turn of heat and add a bit of soy sauce to pan to soak into onigiri
(7) To store in fridge, wrap in cling film

Flatbread
- 250 g wheat flour 550
- 175 ml lukewarm water
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp dry yeast or ¼ cube fresh yeast
- 2-3 tbsp olive oil
- optionally sesame, black sesame, black cumin or other spices, herbs and seeds as topping

(1) Place all dry ingredients in a bowl and mix thoroughly. If you use fresh yeast, dissolve it in the water.
(2) Add water and about a tablespoon of olive oil to the remaining ingredients and knead to form a smooth dough.
(3) Let the dough rise at room temperature for about an hour until it has increased significantly. (4) Place the risen dough on a floured work surface and shape into a loaf with floured hands.
(5) Place the flatbread on a baking tray lined with baking paper and use a knife to carve the typical flatbread pattern into the dough.
(6) Brush the surface with olive oil and sprinkle with sesame seeds, cumin and/or other toppings.
(7) Cover the flatbread blank again (e.g. with a second tray) and let it rise for about an hour.
(8) Preheat the oven to 230°C (top/bottom heat) and bake the flatbread for 12 to 14 minutes until the surface is lightly browned.

Notes:

When quartered, the flatbread can be cut across and filled to your heart's content.

Flatbread filled before baking tastes just as delicious, and you can also easily prepare it yourself.
