Sushi Bowl

412.  My daughter shared a wonderful twist on sushi.  She took a variety of the components, that can be endless, and created a "Sushi Bowl".  Yes! And the experience was all there, crunchy, spicy, soft, pickled, brain-freezing, delightful, fishy, salty, peanuty.  If you devour sushi, you know all the feels and flavors. 

 Sometimes, when I am at a sushi bar, the special rolls can be so large, I cannot fit them in my mouth in one bite.  It can be a very embarrassing moment when the item you are placing in your mouth is considerably larger than your actual mouth as you carefully hold this delicacy with two thin pieces of bamboo.  And to deconstruct a roll is so wrong!  You must taste the whole piece to experience the flavor bomb the sushi chef has constructed.   So, having all the flavors I love piled high to take smaller bites of enjoyment.  It was a delight!

Take a brief moment and search "Sushi Bowl" image in your browser and you will be surprised how many

 exist.  Here is my recipe:

This meal was so spectacular and gave me all the feels of sushi.  If you are adventurous and want to take a shot at creating your own sushi bowl, I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

I also had made my own pickled ginger.  It was either sold out or not available in the markets visited.

Here is my recipe for pickled ginger: Pickled Ginger Recipe

I am excited for you to try this recipe.  It will make you happy, I promise!

Stir Fried Rice

370.  A great Chinese recipe I have used time and time again is Stir Fried Rice.  The ingredients are endless but you must always use rice and eggs as the base.  The basic recipe is straight forward and you can use your imagination or just simple ingredients you have available in your fridge.

I make my rice early on in the day and let it sit to completely cool.

You can pair your fried rice with another dish or eat is as your one-pot main dish in bowls with chopsticks.  Serve hot with extra soy sauce, chopped scallion and shredded ginger.

Egg Rolls

369.  Chinese Food was on the menu last night but not from a local restaurant.  I decided to make homemade, Egg Rolls to be exact.  When I have a craving for certain foods, it is a great challenge to create it yourself.  I made the filling an hour in advance and then let it cool to room temp then enlisted my dinner guests putting the rolls together.  It is not that challenging just following simple steps.  

The filling was Vegetable and Pork and a dipping sauce for the side.  Here is my recipe:
