hello friends of the jungalow! i’m satsuki shibuya & will be keeping you company here today while justina is busily getting ready for her big day! since meeting her, i am constantly inspired visually by her constant vigor towards colors, patterns, greens & everything in between, but also by her worldly views on life & the importance of keeping an open mind towards humanity. speaking of which, today, i would like to share with you a little dish that all (well, i would say most little japanese boys & girls) moms have made many a time & for me conjure up moments of laughter in my belly & my heart. hopefully you can share this simple dish with a loved one over some wonderful conversations.
are you ready? here we go!
ingredients:
+ vegetables (anything you like or left over in your kitchen). my staples usually are: onion, some kind of bell pepper, mushroom/shimeji. broccoli & other hard vegetables seem to work as well
+ meat/tofu (i used apple chicken sausage in this version, but feel free to experiment with different kinds of protein)
+ 2~3 Tbsp ketchup (or depends on ketchup-y you like it to taste)
+ salt & pepper
+ dried garlic
+ dried basil
i hope you enjoy the recipe & a big thank you to justina for inviting me come hang out here today!
The best recipe (at least if you’re based in Europe): Hop on a plane and spend a weekend in Napoli:-) The city is a terrible mess but I have never tasted yummier food!!
that looks so easy and delicious! Definitely making that one this week. Thanks for sharing.

suki, the way you present your recipes makes cooking look so simple & easy! this looks like a good one to make for one’s dinner & have extra for next day’s lunch (that is, unless someone gets into it during the wee hours in between..).
mm.
Mmm-ing at your illustrations. They’re so cute. Oh yeah, the dish looks absolutely delicious, too. Must make it for the heartmate and Bea! :P
Wow this looks SO good and I love that you offer a vegetarian option. Dashing off to your blog now to see what else I can find!
Yipes! I need me some pasta right now (it’s only been two days since my last!) This looks divine and I LOVE your illos Satsuki!
Mmm this would be fantastic with tofu. Nom nom!
