One Pot Meals Part 3 - Salmon and Edamame Fried Rice

 

 

This recipe came about during one of my conversations with another busy mom when she mentioned she used salmon flakes to cook fried rice.  

Sesame Dressing and Spinach Gomae (Spinach in Sesame Dressing)

I actually made both of these quite a while ago, but have forgotten all about them in my draft box until recently. 

Japanese Rolled Omelet - Tamagoyaki

Rolled omelet (Tamagoyaki) sushi is one of my son's all time favourite Japanese food.  Tamagoyaki takes on a slightly sweet flavour due to the addition of sugar.

Japanese Salted Salmon - Shiozake

 

 

Prior to this, my family have never been big fans of cooked salmon fish (except sashimi) because we've always found the meat to be tough and very fishy.  I have always thought it was such a shame that we do not enjoy something that's so nutritious and premium.   

Feasting in Singapore

One of the food-related things I look forward to whenever we travel to our southern neighbour is eating in the food courts.  Yes :)  I love the food-court food in Singapore.  

Side Dishes / Appetizers : Post #2 : Mash Sweet Potato and Egg Salad

If you like dining at Japanese restaurants, you would have come across this popular side dish using normal potatoes.  My blogger friend, Nami of Just One Cookbook had posted about this quite some time ago in her blog, and i kept a note about it at the back of my mind.  A few months back, I happened to have some leftover sweet potato in the fridge, and I remembered about this recipe.  So that's how this variation came about.

Food Review: Rakuzen, Oasis Square, PJ

One of our favourite Japanese restaurant, Rakuzen, has just opened a branch in Oasis Square, Ara Damansara - just 1 minute drive away from our house.  Its first day of business was on Christmas day, and tonight, being Sunday night, the place was already more than half full.  Word spread fast where good eating places are concerned.
