Some times I get strange ideas and create a dinner menu around a theme. After thinking about Japadogs (http://www.japadog.com/menu/index.html), the colder October weather and my boyfriend's quest for bratwurst, I came up with Japanese Oktoberfest.
Persian cucumber with miso paste. He loves it.
Baked sweet potato fries. He loves roasted satsuimo (sweet potato) so I figured he would like these too.
Japanese potato salad.
Cucumber, carrot, onion, hardboiled egg, potatoes and Japanese Kewpie mayonnaise.
The mayonnaise is sweeter than American-style Hellmans.
I should have cooked the potatoes a little longer and mashed some up more.
Sauteed cabbage, red peppers and onions.
Beer-braised then grilled pork bratwursts.
With a little pickled ginger and Korean-style nori (dried seaweed), we celebrated Oktoberfest with some Asahi Super Dry beers and a Japanese flair.
