Shimeji Mushroom and Shiso Leaf Pasta

This for breakfast?

[kahukura]

@ingolftopf Made yesterday in the afternoon, but was too tired to create the post.

[ingolftopf]

@kahukura
No wonder, after the delicious food.

[kahukura]

@ingolftopf It was my first contact with Shiso Leaf, definitely an interesting plant for the taste buds. The recipe used is from Mimi Aye's Noodle! cookbook.

[ingolftopf]

@kahukura
Japanese?

@SHIFTE sends its regards?

[kahukura]

@ingolftopf I guess it's Japanese with an European twist. Mimi has her roots in Burma.

@shifte I don't know if something similar really exist in your country.

@ingolftopf @kahukura
Looks so good my mouth is watering!
Looks like Hirata-red-leek, not Shiso leaf.

[kahukura]

@shifte Never seen such colored leeks here yet, you got me hooked again. What I have forgotten to add in my picture (did that on the second plate I had), was to add Togarashi.
The Shiso leaf is finely shredded, besides some Nori seaweed strips.

Me neither.

Looks more like rhubarb.

[shifte]

@ingolftopf
rhubarb?

On the other hand, I've never seen such a red celery yet. HAHA.
It's the opposite for me.

[kahukura]

@shifte Rhubarb are stalks, mostly used for their slight sour taste in cakes. Also common with sugar, lemon, cinnamon and vanilla as dessert. The color acts as additional eye candy.

Do you know what kompot is? Eg. rhubarb kompot?

[shifte]

@kahukura
Thank you!

@Ryszard
I don't know kompot, of course...

Cream Stew

[Ryszard]

Gray soup because it contains rye flour.

Rhubarb has some toxicity to it. As a child, I was told to avoid it.

@edwardp only the leaves are toxic, the stems are fine though!
