To be honest, I never known, even heard, about a fish species called “flounder” until someday Aisar bought me fried flounder from supermarket nearby our home, Kanehira (かねひらスーパー).  At that time, I only knew it as karei (かれい) and thought it was a kind of Japanese fish. Looking simply cooked yet tasting quite good, I was curious about the recipe, then easily stopped at cookpad (most famous recipe web 2.0 in Japan) page presenting step-by-step karei no karaage (かれいのから揚げ) or “fried flounder”, more specifically it is fried with potato-starch coating. Since then, I have shopped the raw flounder frequently to be cooked at home by myself and this recipe have become one of our favorite menu :wink:.

Tuna Spaghetti (ツナスパゲッティ)

Tuna spaghetti is a plush menu for us because minced tuna (in Japanese sometimes called まぐろ) costs around 300-400 yen per 100 gram.

  • Tuna 100 g
  • Pasta (spaghetti or other types) 125 g, boil first
  • Red onion / onion 1/3 g
  • Garlic 2 cloves
  • Chili 1, finally chopped
  • Olive oil or any vegetable oil 2 tsp
  • Tomato sauce 3 tsp or finely-chopped tomato
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Additional: cinnamon, basile, oregano, parsley, grated cheese

(1) heat the oil in low level
(2) fry onion, garlic until smelled good
(3) add tomato to pan, if you use sliced pieces wait until soft
(4) add tuna, mix well, cook 5 minutes
(5) add pasta, mix well, cook 10 -15 minutes
(6) add additional seasonings but parsley and cheese for topping

Note: cinnamon makes the extra-ordinary taste
