How Many Ways Can I Eat? Let Me Count the Ways

I, like most folks, always have some same-old same-old stuff in the fridge drawers.  Raise your hands if you always have these:
  • Cabbage
  • Carrots
  • Celery
  • Onions
  • Mushrooms
  • Tomatoes
Me!  Me!

So just how many ways can you use them in cooking without getting bored eating them?  Here are three easy ones for me.  Healthy, good looking, and I am able to use up what's in the fridge (then go get some more).


Hot Pot - Do shabu-shabu everything in boiling broth


 Steamed Veggies - Perfect with ponzu dipping sauce


Udon Casserole - the secret is to smear miso on the side of the dish

Give it a try.  You don't need a recipe.  I am sure there are many more ways to use up these ingredients too.  Experiment and have fun.  I sure did.
