Ankake udon:

Oden soup packet
Soy sauce
Garlic
Ginger
Radishes
Naganegi (Japanese leek)
Arugula

An easy riff off regular udon; this one has thickened broth. It's not typical to put lemon in, but I like it.

Alright! #TinnedFishSky 😄

Do you have a favorite brand/style so far?

This is my dish, might be from the same store as your dish...

Okonomiyaki:

Freezer gyoza filling
Okonomiyaki flour mix
Tenkasu
Kizami ginger

Kewpie mayo

Salty pancakes are a great way to use old sad cabbage and freezer meat mixes (Taco meat, bibimbap, whatever).

Good quality butter (new experience!)
Eggs
Flour
Sugar

This... was incredible. Somewhere between a cookie and a cake. Unsurprisingly that fancee butter made the whole thing.

What the hell I got in my kitchen?

Passatelli:

Almost stale hamburger buns
Parmesan cheese
Lemons
Nutmeg
Eggs
Chicken broth

I only have a potato ricer and not a genuine passatelli iron, so the texture may have been a little off, more fragile. Still tasty, and succeeded at minimizing waste.

Played my favorite cooking game, "What the hell I got in my kitchen?"

Found everything I needed for salmon with provençale sauce. Great way to clear out some things gathering cobwebs in my fridge.
