fried rice - reduce oil consumption

many people like fried rice, but they are anxious about it's high calories.

i also love fried rice but anxious about too much oil consumption and water pollution.

so when i wanna have a fried rice, i don't fry rice???

1. first, i prepare vegetables, tofu etc.

2. boil or steam 1 with salt or soy sauce. (or fry with a little oil)

3. mix 2 and a little sesame oil with rice. (not fry)

you can enjoy fried rice flavor....

My favorite Indian restaurant in Bangkok"Punjab Sweet & Restaurant"

i love indian foods, especially "masala dosa" is one of the most favorite foods. i often have masla dosa...

and vegetarian is one choice to save our planet, because vegetable needs less energy consumption for its production than animal meats.

my favorite indian restaurant in bangkok is "punjab sweets and restaurant" located at phahurat

area. i often go there to have masala dosa.

this is masala dosa which is very popular southern snack.

northern thali for lacto-vegetarian.

very delicious italian "Margherita 579" in kyoto - power of volunteer 3

since i came back from volunteer in japan, many weeks had past and work busy everyday. but i still remember the beautiful taste of "Margherita 579" in kyoto. actually that is not vegan or vegetarian restaurant, but chef has enough experience on macrobiotic, so his dishes was so delicious and healthy. i strongly recommend "Margherita 579" to vegans and macrobiotic people.

mr. inayama, who is a saw player and is also a teacher in shiga univ. , bring me there. because he is friends with chef.

he is planing to give a concert for disaster victims both in tohoku area and in thailand(to raise contribution)

during edo era, many upper class people were suffering from curious disease "edo wazurai" but poor people didn't get it. now we call it beriberi and know it's caused by a deficiency of vitamin b.

why did the rich people or even middle class people who had lived in edo for many years got baribari, but poor people who were living in town or countryside did not?

because the people in urban city didn't like to have brown rice which contains vitamin b...

now many people are interested in macrobiotic and organic foods and some people also try to have brown rice...

i also love brown rice.
