Washing up matters

When I am cooking for one, the main thing on my mind is “How am I going to get out of this with as little work as possible?”  A very important part of this is washing up.  In other words, the less pans you use to cook, the less washing up to take care of.

This is a quick one pan wonder.  All I did was take a weird shaped piece of beef and sear it on all sides with a slosh of ponzu sauce while it sizzled.  Then it came off the heat to cool slightly.  I threw in a packet of fresh udon noodles and some vegetables to stir fry for about 5 minutes.  The noodles and vegetables went on the plate, quickly followed by　some slices of very rare beef on top．I tossed on some shichimi spices but what ever you have at hand will be just as good.　　The best news about the beef is that there is plenty of leftovers as you will see in the next post.
