Pancakes in Japan Idea

I keep kinako powder-- ground soy bean powder that is typically eaten on mochi-- in my kitchen, because it is tastey in a banana and yogurt smoothie. Today I tried cooking it into pancakes, because I have so much and move through it so slowly, and I don't want it to go bad.

It was tasty, but it would probably be better with white flour (I did it with whole wheat), and no cinnamon.

Mushroom, tomato, bell pepper, kimchee, basil omlette.

Surprisingly yummy. Another example of "let's throw what I have together in a skillet and see."

1 tablespoon sesame oil
fry 1 cubed eringi mushroom (some onion optional). When it gets soft, add
1 cubed red bell pepper. when it is soft, add
3 cubed cherry tomatoes.
1 teaspoon soy sauce.
When it's stewed for awhile, add a scrambled egg. Push all ingredients into the egg so they get coated, but try not to move the egg around until it's firmed up, then flip.
When finished, garnish with kimchee and shredded basil.

Yum!

(I ate it so fast I have no picture. Sorry!)
(Sausage would possibly be an excellent addition.)
