(Some) leftovers for #lunch but right proper miso soup today. Quicker dashi* and no fancy kombu (just very slow 20 min simmer, before removal & katsuoboshi flakes). Added in miso‡ and adjusted with a pinch up sugar, tbsp of mirin and sake. Used up the other half block of tofu leftover.
Made that while cooker made fresh rice (that got vinegared) to use with last of spicy mayoed tuna from yesterday.

‡yes, yes, am showing off my #KitchenTools

Am not a fan of single use tools and don't have too many of them (unless they would get a lot of use).
This spoon shaped ginger grater is terrific - fibers, pulp stays on spoon and with a bit of squeeze (thumb) can just pour out only the juice if needed.

Finally getting to use this gyuto from #Sakai - now that I'm back home in Pittsburgh. (Wasn't a proper cutting board in our apartment in Kobe)

It has my name on it and now the teensiest tip of my thumb too. Cuts like a dream. Perhaps the last knife I'll buy for myself (specialty uses aside)

1) garlic press: cleaning is an issue on some presses, but not on others. The Kuhn Rikon press is a snap to clean and takes about 2 seconds: amazon.com/Kuhn-Rikon-2315-Epi

That said, I generally use a garlic mandoline for fast thin slices, also cleaned quickly: amazon.com/OXO-Good-Grips-Garl

And if you're using the bench scraper to transport veg, I find a prep taxi works better (and is also easy to clean):
