DIY sushi at home is so yummy! This time we had some shrimp tempura which was new for our sushi nite. I thought it was pretty good! My favorite has to be the hamachi with avocado and plenty of wasabi. But everything was delicious – what a treat! 🍣❤
Tonight’s dinner was a mix of leftovers and new sides. The casserole on the left is a mix of sliced pork belly (leftover from last night’s yakiniku dinner), kimchee, egg, and cheese. In the casserole dish on the right is Koa-friendly nachos, with cheese, chips, jalapenos, beans, red sauce, and grilled chicken. Then the sides are avocado with ponzu and katsuobushi, and fresh tomato.
I was a good fridge/pantry cleanup day, and a pretty tasty one at that. 😊
I hope you had a good day!
Now that Mariko has a really awesome pizza dough recipe, we’ve been enjoying a lot of pies lately. Tonight’s pizzas were a nice Margherita and also a half Gorgonzola/pear/honey and barbecue brisket pizza. They were all so tasty, but my favorite was the simple Margherita. I think it was because the crust was a little crispier than the half and half. Oh how I love pizza nights! ❤🍕

We love sushi! 🍣❤
Tonight we had gyoza (from frozen) and three kinds of salad. It’s funny to call them salads, though. They are more like side dishes. I’m not even sure what qualities a side dish needs to be considered a “salad”. I guess I could look it up, but that’s one of those things where I find it more fun not to know the answer to.
Anyways, the side dish salads were gobo & carrot, pickled carrot, and a broccoli & egg. I felt like these were the main courses, and the gyoza was the side dish! They were delicious, all with a unique flavor.
I hope you had a good day! またね～
Chicken Tikka Masala, Saag Paneer, and Pani Puri to celebrate a friend’s birthday. Yum!
During the COVID-19 situation we don’t usually have people over, but for an event like this we set up the deck with socially-distanced seating so Mariko and two of her friends could enjoy some time together.
