Last Sunday, we went to see Chemical Brothers at Hollywood Bowl!
This time, I made everything which can be eaten by hand. The main dish was oven-roasted Asian-style Spicy Yakitori (skewered chicken). It came out so juicy and nice!
Here's the recipe.

Our picnic food...yakitori, onigiri (rice balls), salt-roasted donabe fingerling potatoes (click here for the recipe), and edamame.
Onigiri was hijiki seaweed and sesame seeds. The rice was so fluffy and tasty even after 3 hours because it was cooked with the double-lid donabe rice cooker, "Kamado-san"!
Happy donabe life.
