Dinner, Japanese style
Here’s a little Japanese inspired dinner we had the other night: Avocado and green leaf salad with sesame-miso vinaigrette, steamed edamame, and a chirashi style California roll.
I first saw this style of sushi preparation at a local Japanese supermarket, Nijiya Market. They served their versions in a small container with a bed of rice on the bottom covered with the toppings of your choice; popular varieties included California, Spicy Tuna, and Spicy Yellowtail.
I figured I would add a little extra presentation to mine by using a ring mold and piling the ingredients on top. I used a layer of sweetened rolled omelet, shrimp, avocado, and topped the whole thing off with mayo and sriracha.
The eater poured a glass of crazy milk, unfiltered sake served chilled, which completed our pseudo Japanese dinner.
beautifully prepaired love the care put into It!
That is too pretty to eat.
Count me in!…Oh wait…I live on the other side of the world…ehehhehe
What a fun idea! It looks really yummy. You always make food look fun and delicious. I think I’ll try this for dinner one night.
A meetup could be fun. Better do it soon, there’s rumors brewing that I’m moving again…
