O-KONOMI-YAKI: Japanese Pancakes

The recipe for these pancakes came from the Tassajara Bread Book.  The last sentence simply stating "May also be eaten cold on the beach."  Beach fare.  What could be better for a lunchbox?

O-KOMONI-YAKI (organic wholewheat pastry flour, egg, evaporated milk with a mixture of organic chopped vegetables mostly from my Full Belly CSA including leeks, napa cabbage, carrots, mushrooms and celery) with tahini wasabi soy dip; chard "chips" (organic chard from a friend's garden tossed in olive oil and salt and baked until crispy (a tip from mollyjade - -thank you!!); organic navel orange segments.

waste generated: none :)

It completely changes the texture, doen't it? I'm glad you liked it.

I'm always looking for new ways to eat greens - thanks for sharing the chard tip (thanks to mollyjade AND to Jeanine)!

Forgot to ask - do the kiddos do well with the chopsticks, and at what age did they start using them well enough for you to pack them without a back-up fork? I imagine your answer might have something to do with how often you use them at home, too...

I pack them mostly as a suggestion and expect that the food will end up being eaten by hand. Aidan is willing to negotiate a chopstick for about 30 secs. and then his primal instinct to eat more than a tiny morsel at a time kicks in.
