Ah,
food coloring. There is so much fun contained in those
four tiny bottles. It allows one to make things like
the shading in the rolled omelet
here. I started with a cup of beaten eggs, and made
the first layer without coloring. I added a drop of
red and made the next layer, which was orange. Another
drop for a pink layer, and another drop for brighter
pink. For contrast, the omelet is resting on a bed of
stir-fried
teriyaki tofu. Below it is some edamame
fresh out of the freezer. On the other side, we got
a sesame-seed-covered mochi,
a grove of takenoko no sato (chocolate covered bamboo-shoot-shaped
cookies), and a fruit
salad with mango, grapes, and lychees.
Just for the record, I went to Tomato - another of
Atlanta's Japanese groceries - right before making this,
and somehow I didn't use a single thing I just bought.
Go figure.
Wanna talk
about it?
