A breakfast sandwich

Previously, on tastingmenu.wordpress.com – * https://tastingmenu.wordpress.com/2024/03/17/nobu-creamy-spicy-scallops-dynamite/ A long time ago when I was working in Manhattan, I used to grab a ‘Manhattan’ bagel breakfast sandwich at a deli sitting on W32nd St/Broadway…….fast forward years into the future….Recently, the weather was rather rainy here and I didn’t feel like going outside to grab some breakfast. Fortunately […]

Previously, on tastingmenu.wordpress.com – * https://tastingmenu.wordpress.com/2017/07/31/a-quick-note-on-hazelnuts/* https://tastingmenu.wordpress.com/2019/11/25/morimoto-tofu-cheesecake/* https://tastingmenu.wordpress.com/2020/01/05/on-citrus-juice-acidity/ Recently I had acquired a mini waffle maker and then came across a picture at Nobu Manila of matcha waffles with pecans and yuzu whipped cream.  Why couldn’t I take a crack at making this breakfast item?   I could already make whipped cream based on my Tofu […]

Scrambled Eggs (aka les oeufs brouillés)

I do decent fried eggs/omlettes, but every now and then I want scrambled eggs for breakfast.  Not the solid mass of stuff you get at hotel breakfast buffets, but the real soft, slighty wet creamy scramble that can be absorbed by some nice toast… I’ve tried making it over the years with inconsistent results.  So […]

Nobu ‘Bagels And Lox’

Previously, on tastingmenu.wordpress.com – * https://tastingmenu.wordpress.com/2012/05/28/making-sushi-rice/ Continuing in the vein of breakfast,  I was intrigued by Nobu’s approach to ‘bagels and lox’ – a dish described here on p. 5 of the pdf: ( https://www.caesars.com/content/dam/nobu/Dining/Menus/NobuTowerInRoomMenu_1110jk2%20copy.pdf ) As I understand it, the crispy sushi rice is covered in everything mix, given a schmear of tofu crema […]
