Kanikama and Bean Sprout Salad with Fried Tofu Stir Fry

New discoveries today: a tasty new salad dressing and ingredients for a yummy tofu stir fry. The salad dressing was just a mixture of mirin, vinegar, salt, sesame oil, and ground up sesame seeds. The recipe said that steaming the mirin beforehand and getting rid of the alcohol also increases the umami and overall flavor. I'm not sure I could tell the difference, but the dressing was pretty yummy on top of a bed of steamed bean sprouts, salad leaves, and kanikama (imitation crab). The other happy discovery of the night was the tastiness of the combination of ingredients in the stir fry: fried tofu, bell peppers, some pork slices, ginger, soy sauce, sugar, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and a handful of bonito flakes tossed in at the end. Yum!
