Snackables

Smoked salmon salad. Shredded cabbage. Cucumbers. Sriracha. Sesame Oil.

Instead of shredding the imitation crab and mixing mayonnaise in.. Leave the meat whole and smear in some honey mustard. Tasty.

Marinaded Smoked Salmon

In my last post I used candied salmon (hot smoked). This recipe is usually made with sashimi but here I have cold smoked salmon. It is inspired by Sushi Train's sashimi bi bim bap.

Cut up about 3/4 cup of smoked salmon. Lighten the strong salty flavor with 2 tsp sesame oil, a little goes a long way. Add in 1 tsp of soy sauce. I chopped some cucumbers because I didn't have any shredded cabbage for a salad. Some garlic slices help balance the saltiness. I mixed in 1 tsp of sriracha hot sauce to taste.

Time to snack!

A Fresh Start.

 Instead of mixing canned tuna with just mayo, I made my own thousand island. 1 part ketchup, 1 part relish, 2 1/2 part mayo.

Vitamin C & fibre

 

It is never too late to start eating healthier. I've taken the lunar new year as an opportunity to cut back on bad carbohydrates.

Trying to keep it simple silly by going back to my roots. White rice, it has never failed my body.

My favorite part about food is preparing it. Lots of fun and relieves stress.

Voila!

Cut it up into fun snack size!

Savor This!

Oyster Motoyaki @ Akasaka in Surrey. It came to the table in flaming galore. Oysters with sauteed onions and mushrooms in an oyster shell, topped with cheesy mayonnaise, broiled to perfection. A bite of this creamy mother-load will put your taste buds in ecstasy. You feel your arteries hurt from wanting more..

The Best Sushi Restaurant... in my hood at least.

This is the Fusion Combo at Tobiko Sushi in Surrey, B.C. The things that make this restaurant the best for me is the price, quality and originality! With sushi it is never about quantity, but Tobiko always leaves me full at around $15! I just love their array of special rolls. I am no fan of the pseudo-Japanese California Rolls, but Tobiko gives the California a little fun northwest twist. You can find fresh sashimi, smoked salmon, soft shelled crabs, green roe, fiery torched fish, and a lot of spiciness on their menu. It's not just fun to look at, I can assure you it does not lack in taste and texture.

My Favorite Korean Dish

This scrumptious looking bowl here is called "Sashimi Bi Bimbap" (Sashimi mixed rice with veggies). A fresh daring new way on the classic Korean Bi Bimbap. It's white rice, mixed lettuce, shredded carrots and daikon, topped with assorted sashimi, sprinkled with garlic, nori and a generous dollop of roe, dressed with my favorite hot sauce; Korean hot pepper paste gochujang. This picture was taken right before I devoured it at Sushi Train, in Surrey, B.C. where they give you a bowl of udon broth to slurp on the side!
