Asparagus Pork Rolls and Butterfish Soup

Wrapping veggies up with meat is always fun, with so many variations: thin slices of beef or pork wrapped around enoki or shimeji mushrooms, asparagus, green beans, carrots, etc; stewed in a soy sauce-based sauce or pan-fried with a little bit of salt and pepper, lemon, whatever. Today we just wrapped up some asaparagus with pork, seasoned with salt and pepper, and pan-fried them. They were pretty tasty fresh out of the pan. Tonight's soup featured one of my favorite soup ingredients - butterfish! - with napa cabbage, shimeji mushrooms, tofu, and ginger. Very warming.
