pork hash w/ hotaru-ika (firefly ika)
Something I just thought I'd try something different.
1/2 lb. ground pork mixed with just chopped shiitake, green onion, cornstarch, sugar, sesame oil, oyster sauce & shoyu. But mixed in also are blanched baby ika, that's sold as pupus here in Okinawa & mainland Japan. Are about 1" long, & very tasty. I can eat a tray of them just dipped in a miso sauce as is the custom or just hot mustard, as I drink my biru. So mixed everything & steamed - see result. Great taste, great smell, & resulting juices are great on rice!

I think they are called hotaru ika because they kind of look like fireflies. :)
Kat - You're right. Looked up in my files of The Japan Times "The Way of Washoku" column from 5 or 6 years ago and there was a recipe preparing hotaru. Seemed so familiar the name. Going change the title.
your really creative
doodoo - Thanks! I try to make something with whatever is available. This was ONO!
Already thinking of another ingredient to use.
