There is Japanese appetizer called "Niku Miso Kyuri" - Ground beef miso paste with cucumber.
Normally this ground beef is served with cucumber but I tried with other vegetables.
I like this dish because you can eat raw vegetable all you want with nice protein dip. I tried with ground beef, chicken, and turkey and they all taste good. For healthy option turkey might be better choice!
Niku Miso Dip With Vegetables
Niku Miso Vegetable Dip:
- 500g ground beef or chicken or turkey
- 3 tbsp miso
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 3 tbsp sugar or brown sugar
- 3 tbsp mirin or sake
Option:
- 1 onion, minced
- 2 tbsp water + 0.5 tbsp potato starch (Use this if your ground meat gets too saucy)
Vegetables:
- Cucumber
- Mini peppers
- Radish
- Broccoli
- Lettuce
1. With optional onion, stir-fry it on medium sauce pan until brown.
2. Add ground beef and cook until it's no longer pink.
3. Pour, miso, soy sauce, sugar, mirin and mix all together.
4. Let it simmer until the sauce thickens. If it gets too saucy you can add potato starch to thicken faster.

Moleskine Fish Log
I started fishing about 5 years ago now.
Been logging my fishing trips in my planner but I thought maybe it's time to have its own official fishing logbook!
It's one of those thing I'm hoping to log my entire fishing life recorded in this notebook.
Scroll down to see the tutorial!
Materials:
- Moleskine Soft Cover Ruled Notebook: 192 lined pages, 13x21cm - 5x81/4''
- 1 Sewing Needle
- 1 colors Embroidery Threads
- Sewing Awl or Ice Pick
- Pencil and Eraser
1: Design a cover.
2: With piece of paper following the dimension of the notebook, draw out the design.
You are using this as transferring paper, so use a pencil to color in the entire design.
3. Open the notebook and place the transfer behind the cover(front side facing down). Use any paper clip to secure the transfer if needed.
Redraw the design backward to transfer the design.
4. Use sewing awl to prick holes with desired length. This will be your stitch length.
This is how it looks like from the back cover(image left) and the front cover(image right).
5. With embroidery thread, unthread the strings(it's usually 6-ply thread). I used 3-ply thread for stitching.
6. Now follow the holes to stitch.
