Whatever I like in this space, it's my profile.
Yesterday night, japanese food was on the menu and decided to make some vegetarian sushi rolls - Cucumber, Pickled Red Ginger, Mint, Watercress and Wasabi - but wanted to add a lil bit of kick/novelty to it and added some pasta sauce to the ingredients before rolling and the sauce blended in EXCELLENT with everything else ! Pasta sauce goes super good in a sushi roll making for good Italian Japanese Fusion ! Try it out !!
Had not cooked Japanese in a while and this week, I decided to cook some Japanese food. I really like Japanese Curry. It's so different from Indian or Thai Curries. It's very thick, extra starchy and a bit sweet. I cooked a potato, carrot and chicken curry and Squashed Japanese Squash and cucumber and mango salad (not japanese). I also attempted to make some sushi rolls with some fresh Ahi Tuna I bought, but it did not come out as good as I wanted it to.. taste was not bad.. but presentation was a disaster !
Thanksgiving and I am working today and did not go to any thanksgiving dinner, but in the spirit of thanksgiving decided to cook a turkey dish variation.. Turkey Curry. Turkey is pretty dry and not as flexible as chicken in cooking. Got some strips of turkey breast, fried them out with salt, pepper and thyme. After that, simmered some pearl onions, tomatoes, garlic, thyme and curry and let it simmer with to a thick sauce before adding the cooked turkey and potatoes and the result is in the pic..
Yesterday night, we had planned to do a bonfire at Ocean Beach, but Gilles went at 7:00p.m (still daylight) and told us that all the fire pits were already taken and nobody would share theirs. So we had to change plans. We (Deepti, Tamar and I) decided to eat on Clement St. We were driving by and saw the sign for Grand Opening of a new Burmese place on Clement - Pagan Restaurant. We decided to try it. It was worth it. Decor was very nice, food was very good, even though Service was not the best ! We had the Burmese Curry Chicken Noddle with Split Peas, Eggplants with dried shrimps, Fish Curry and Roti Patala and Chicken Gravy as appetizer. Here are some pics of the dishes we ordered...
