Miyagi-Do Stovetop Mac and Cheese
Very simple dish. Noodles, cheese, milk. But—if make with care, with balance—become comfort, become like karate: not fancy. Too much cheese—overwhelm. Not enough—empty. Right amount? Harmony. Daniel-san, remember: even easy food can teach you something. Respect ingredients. Respect yourself. You hungry—eat. You tired—rest. You lost—make mac and cheese...
