When the Mimosa Blooms: Mimosa Cake and Mimosa Omelet Sushi
The mimosa
sways gently in the spring breeze,
spreading a faint, sweet, and gentle fragrance
in March.
I baked a mimosa cake and
prepared a simple lunch decorated with mimosa flowers
this year
with my grandsons
to enjoy.
◇ Mimosa Flower Decorated Omelet Sushi
It's nothing difficult at all; just grate a hard-boiled egg with a grater to decorate the dish like mimosa flowers,
and with just that, mimosa yellow! Energy charge!
Omelet is fine, or omelet rice is also fine, but then I thought, 'Oh, that's it!' and used the leftover vinegared rice from last night's hand-rolled sushi, mixed with finely chopped sweet and savory simmered Wagyu beef, and wrapped it in egg like an omelet.
Then, I added baby greens and salad spinach, and finished it off by making the hard-boiled egg mimosa flowers bloom.
and finally, grate the egg white and yolk onto the plate while checking the balance
to decorate it like mimosa flowers.
It turned out like a lunch for when the mimosa flowers bloom.
Pour the egg mixture into a pan with olive oil,
and wrap the vinegared rice mixed with sweet and savory beef like an omelet.
Then, decorate.
The 7-year-old boy starts eating from the middle.
'It's delicious! I like this.'
This wasn't enough, so he asked for seconds!
'Wow, it looks so delicious, how cute!' and finished it all with a smile.
We can make up for any missing vegetables or other things at dinner.
Sun Fuji apples for dessert.
◇ Mimosa Cake
Following last year, I baked a mimosa cake again this year.
Using the same recipe, I reduced the sugar even further for both the sponge cake and the custard cream.
Three o'clock snack when the mimosa blooms.
grated it with a grater to look like mimosa flowers, and
decorated it generously and fluffily over the custard cream.
Unshu mandarin orange juice to make orange tea;
the energy color brightens the table.
Mimosa flowers and scabiosa;
two blue-purple flowers amidst the mimosa yellow.
So fluffy and heart-melting.
This homemade cake had just the right amount of sweetness and was as gentle as the mimosa flowers.
After tea with my grandsons, I also delivered half of the mimosa cake to my granddaughters, who are in the middle of final exams, along with a touch of spring.
(The recipe for the mimosa cake is written in detail in last year's article ↓)
Today, March 8th, is Mimosa Day in Italy, or
Festa della Donna (Women's Day).
And it is International Women's Day.
Young men,
whether the world will be closer to being a kinder place for women everywhere by the time you become adults
depends on your awareness and ours.
