Im Crazy!


I made another Hawaiian dish for dinner. LOCO MOCO. Its Hawaiian fast food.
Rice, a fried hamburger patty, gravy and a fried egg... YOU dress it up with ketchup, soy sauce or hot sauce. I used ketchup and soy and some pickled ginger juice (cause it needed an Asian touch) It was good, nice simple comfort food.

Strawberry Mochi Cake


I havent had anything inventive for dinner recently so I made a Strawberry Mochi Cake today in my silicone pan. Its Hawaiian. Its totally different then the Japanese Mochi candy as its lighter, but still somewhat dense and chewy.
Im making something with Flounder Tonight.
Eating a Japanese-Korean Fusion the past few days Ive shot down in weight (YAY) so I figured it was cause I only ate a TRUE serving of protein at mealtimes. Tonight Ill eat ONE fillet of flounder NOT the entire block, so Ill have leftovers for tomorrows breakfast or lunch.
Yesterday I ate an entire Rice Donut with redbean paste inside, YUM!
And Im still skinny so Ill have a nice slice of Mochi Cake tonight!

Yesterdays Dinner


I bought pike mackeral at the Asian mart today, Im broiling it in Soy and Mirin and Japanese pepper. Took me 30 minutes to fillet and debone!
Me and my son bought Korean pastries at the Asian Mart bakery, I got a Rice ball donut stuffed with red bean paste, and he had mexican churros.
I LOVE that Rice donut! Chewy!

Heres the finished Bowl. Mackeral, Japanese rice w/ chopped scallion and soy sauce and a side of Takuan (Japanese daikon radish pickles)
IT WAS soooo GOOD!
All in all it only cost about $2.00 to make



PICTURE LOST TO THE TINYPIC ETHER



My son had a tray of Kimbab, Korean Sushi w/Takuan and sesame oil seasoned spinach, egg and crab stick for lunch so he wanted American for dinner. This is Taro and Corn and Cheese Ice Cream, The Taro is wonderful but the other is weird. I didnt eat Ice Cream for dessert, I had yogurt and mochi instead...
