The spring has come !
The best season of the year that brings the joy to all the creatures !!

Many of the spring flowers are blooming much earlier than usual this year in Japan.

Sakura which is usually starts blooming from late March to early April in my town is already fully blooming.  

So are Nanohana / rape flowers.
 

The yellow field can be seen here and there in my town during this season.

 

Hanamomo/peach flowers are also blooming in pink and are ready for coming Girls Day Festival. 

My neighbour's lovely Hanamomo and Nanohana.

Hanamomo / peach flower has more petals and is deeper pink compared with Sakura.

 “Hinamatsuri” /a Girls Day or Doll’s Festival is celebrated on March the third.  This festival is also called “Momo no sekku” /Peach Festival.
Many people follow the modern solar calendar to celebrate this date nowdays, but there are some regions that still follow the lunar calendar. 

My most favorite "Ohinasama", each doll is handmade by the craftsmen

 

This set is my handmade origami Ohinasama dolls using the Japanese paper.

I also follow the lunar calendar as this festival like other traditional festivals is originally celebrated following the seasons and the nature, which does not make any sense if we follow the current gregorian calendar.
Girls Festival / Peach Festival must be celebrated when the peach flowers are in full bloom, that is what I think and am practicing.

 

 

Well, the real “Hinamatsuri / Momo no sekku” is around the corner.

So today I am going to share an easy, and healthy “Oil Free Vegan Scrambled Egg” recipe which is very useful to create the flowery table.
Though this is a mock egg dish, most people do not realize that it is so until I tell them.  So you also try and see how your friends and family react!

How much it can be close to real Iritamago /Japanese style scramble egg, depends largely on the pumpkin or squash.  If you use Japanese pumpkin which usually tastes sweeter and whose texture is more like potato, the probability of you can achieve this goal is higher.

100g firm tofu

50g pumpkin-after removing seeds and peels

Procedure

1.   Steam the pumpkin till soft, and mash into the paste with a fork.

2.   Crumble the firm tofu with your fingers and throw into the pot.

Tofu crumbles are getting drier.

The idea of dishes with vegan scrambled egg

Chirashizushi / Sushi rice mixed with vegetables for Girls Day

Temarizushi / Sushi balls 

As one of the fillings of Makizushi / Sushi Rolls

Can be the egg sandwitch too when mixed with tofu mayonaise.

My pre Hinamatsuri lunch with my family.
