Rice with tinned fish and three kinds of vegetable dishes

Today’s Japanese/East Asian style meal was so easy to prepare that I was really surprised at how quickly it was ready to eat. I’ve also tried something I never had before.

On social media I had seen a Japanese person (living in Germany) try “Dorschleber” from a tin and recommend it - but I had never tried it unlike many other kinds of tinned fish. I’m not sure I would have bought it if I had known it’s cod liver in English as that makes me think of the much loathed cod liver oil which in German is known as Lebertran.

When I just looked up the translation I realised that Dorsch must be the same fish as Kabeljau which is what the word cod so far meant to me. Both translations are right: in principle Dorsch is a cod that lives in the Baltic Sea and Kabeljau is a cod from the Northern Atlantic Ocean. However, sometimes young Kabeljau is also called Dorsch, which obviously can be confusing. And I never knew that the hated Lebertran comes from this fish. We learn something new every day!

In any case, the cod liver was very mild, soft and somehow buttery. I liked it!

We had:
🥢 Mackarel in XO sauce from a tin (for the guys)
🥢 Cod liver from a tin (for me)
🥢 Okra with ginger soy sauce
🥢 Chinese broccoli with mushrooms and oyster sauce
🥢 Kimchi (from a tin)
🥢 Japanese rice

Vegetable Chickpea Potato Soup

We don’t eat this mild creamy vegetable soup from Vegan Richa’s website too often but when we do, we really like it: for once nobody reaches for any spicy condiments. The only extra was the fresh wild garlic that I picked a few days ago and some rolls.

I’ve used this recipe but I made the soup in a normal saucepan:
