Monthly Macro/vegan class 12/8 sat --- (A)

This time, we made some special Japanese New Year's dishes, called Osechi. The first dish is called Zoni, a special soup broth with seasonal vegetables and mochi (pounded rice cake) Each region and each family has its own recipe, and you can tell where the person comes from by asking what kind of zoni they grew up eating. Though in Japan, people put lots of effort to make beautiful and elaborate osechi meals, we made a "modified" version, so you can make it as regular, everyday dishes. but just for fun, we cut the vegetables into flower shape as Japanese people do for this special dish : )
