Scallop Kelp butter sauce, Tantan dipping Ramen (with recipe attached)

17/8/2017

0 Comments

 
I quite like Asian sauce, and especially this all-rounder sauce fascinated me: Asian onion sauce.
Picture
This is a matching for grilled meat, surely fish (especially perfect for a prawn) and also for a dressing for salad and even for a Tofu!  
You can keep this sauce for 3 days in the fridge, so such a saviour for busy mums.

Here is the recipe of this Asian Onion sauce:

Recipe

​The other day, I grilled scallop with this lovely sauce and butter sauce.
I added my twist to the classical butter sauce by using a kelp powder: it slightly tastes Japanese flavour.  
Picture
Picture
Picture
And as a side dish, I made Tantan dipping ramen (spicy dipping noodle).
Picture
Picture
Umm not too bad actually.
Picture
My holiday will nearly start, aww I can't wait because I'm going to attend some local culinary lessons in other countries!

I hope you all have a lovely summer.

Sushi cake -pressed salmon sushi

13/8/2017

Beautiful Cornwall, you always inspired new imagination in me. 
​The other day, I made a pressed sushi, which is a traditional food in some region in Japan as I finally gained the utensil for making that.
Picture
Then this was the cake:
Picture
Picture
Picture
And put the tiny flower Dashi jelly alongside.
Picture
Picture
Ummm, I definitely need to brush this up further for reaching my perfection, but it was huge fun to create something new!
What shall I make next?

Char-grilled Wagyu (Japanese beef) steak and seasonal vegetable rice bowl

11/8/2017

0 Comments

 
This was my first trial for the sample image of my next supper club in Truro.
Car-grilled Wagyu steak and seasonal vegetable rice bowl. 
Picture
Wagyu has exquisite marbled appearance due to the intricate layers of intramuscular fat.
Char-grilled meat is tremendously tender and has rich flavour, which melts in your mouth.
Picture
And luckily I got a freshest Shiso, Japanese herb, from a local supplier. 
Picture
Picture
This appearance is quite similar with Nettle, but taste is totally different: more tangy, full of aromatic taste.
Awww such an exotic little chap! 

I chose these summer seasonal vegetable from the local and cooked for the topping.

Picture
And serve Cornish sea salt with kelp powder alongside. 
Picture
Picture
I will keep tuning the taste and presentation to my best, and I will be pleased to host you with these my love in the next month.

More light! More colour! More density!
Picture
Amazing nature in Cornwall looked like exclaiming toward me.
​I'm really lucky to be here such a most beautiful place in Britain.

After I indulged my children and myself with a pleasant sunshine, I made a healthy meal.  

Picture
Asian salad wraps.
Picture
Everyone can chose the fillings and wrap them in lettuce: build your own wraps 

Fillings of this time was Grilled Pork (焼豚, Chashu), Boiled egg, Fresh vegetables and Stir fried bean thread noodle
Picture
Picture
Picture
Aww I wholeheartedly thank my luck in this beautiful Cornwall.

Summer holidays has started in my house like other families in the UK.
I have determined to devote this summer to enjoy with my boys as a mom, as I realised their utterly innocence stage is so precious and limited in our life.   

This was a diary of dinner when I brought my boys to a beach where we live close. 
Picture
Picture
There were fulfilled time and beautiful sunset. 
Picture
Picturesque Cornwall's nature always inspired and encouraged me to be creative.
I just wanted to share the hearty memory to my family of that day: Seafood Pasta.
Picture
Picture
Picture
5 kinds of fresh vegetables were involved in this broth, such a healthy food.
These lentils and shallot look like pebbles in a beach, don't they?


Picture
I hope you are having a lovely summer.

See you soon, everyone.
