I’ve recently started experimenting with cooking, where intuition plays a very large role. I don’t consider cooking a skill to master so much as an algorithm for making lunch, but every so often I end up with something interesting. What I made today was very good (“savory” is the best way to describe it), so I’m posting the recipe:

Note that numbers are approximate; I just sort of mixed stuff without measuring 🙂

2 tbsp. oil
1 dozen Shiitake mushrooms
1 tsp. butter
1-2 cloves of garlic
1 egg
Assorted vegetables (onions, scallions, and carrots work well; others may too)
1/8 cup of soy sauce
1/2-1 tbsp. mirin
1/2 tbsp. Thai chili sauce

Heat oil on medium flame, add mushrooms, butter, garlic, soy sauce, and vegetables. Cook for approx. 2 min., then add egg and remaining sauces. Lower flame a bit to prevent burning and splattering. Continue to cook until lightly browned.
