I know it isn't but that picture looks as though the pumpkin layer is totally flat to the plate and you ca cut a template out to hole the risotto in!

Thanks. It's really good, and I'm kind of ambivalent about feta, so I think it'd be just as good without it.

Tomatoes, beans, a lot of parsley, oregano, and a dressing made of oil, vinegar, and shallots.

Roast chicken and roast veges last night for 5, grandkids loved it. Potatoes kumara pumpkin parsnip and carrots roasted and gravy. With peas. It was 10/10 in an unfamiliar oven.

Cooked chicken tenderloins tonight in wraps, the kids love wraps. Fillings will be be onion lettuce grated carrot and a mild salsa and yoghurt dressing. Oven baked chips. The kids just love chicken.

Made some spicy karaage chicken for lunch. The store bought kewpie mayonnaise went nicely with it, along with a cold Asahi.

I see what you mean. This one is better as you can see more of the pumpkin sides.

kewpie mayonnaise

What is 'kewpie'?

What is 'kewpie'?

It's Japanese mayonaise... which as you probably know is richer and sweeter than Western mayo.

Kewpie is a popular brand that comes in a soft plastic sqeeze container, with a notched nozzle that pushes out the mayo in patterned shape (not sure how to describe it, like something you'd decorate a cake with). But bottom line, the Japanese mayo flavour is delicious.

This is what it looks like... the "kewpie" baby logo is iconic and apparently dolls were made from the empty packet.

Lay's are very popular here in Thailand although the spelling is slightly different.

Ah! So its a brand. I was imagining all manner of things being added to mayonnaise to make it 'kewpie'. But its Japanese mayo - and I didn't know it was different from standard mayo. What are the ingredients that make it richer/sweeter?

So according to that article I linked to above, the main differences are only the egg yolk is used instead of the whole egg. It uses rice vinegar or apple cider instead of distilled vinegar, and gets more umani through the addition of msg. Kewpie mayo has been around since 1924.
