Japanese Rose Pickled Ginger

  • by

I am absolutely addicted to the pickled ginger that you find at all the sushi houses. Fresh Pickled Ginger with Wasabi and Soy sauce is so flavorful to me that it goes great on all types of dishes. The price however, is off putting. The small jar of ginger at the store runs about 7 bucks for the small 8 oz jar. If you go thru a ton of this, it definitely is more price effective to make your own, which is surprisingly easy to make.

Tempura Batter

Here’s a simple recipe for tempura batter. This is a great way to whip up some dinner if you happen to have some shrimp, veggies or even leftover chicken/steak/pork.  It only takes 5 minutes to whisk up the batter and another 5 to cook everything and you’re all set to go.  A quick dinner on the cheap is some tempura chicken on top of Ramen noodles with some hoison sauce and sriracha.

Low Carb Red-Pepper Sauce

This is a “fancy” sauce that pairs well with Fish and Chicken but can also be used as a dip. Depending on the price of heavy cream, you may want to make a double or quad order as this is really tasty and will last about 1~2 weeks in the fridge.

French Onion Grillin’ Glaze

  • by

Here’s a great glaze to use on your next cook-out.  It’s definitely different than barbecue sauce and the usual sauces. The sweetness really comes out as it starts to char on the meat and the glaze begins to caramelize. Try it on chicken and fish for a great new taste that’s sure to please.

Sweet Teriyaki Marinade

  • by

This marinade is perfect for chicken and tougher cuts of meats, the alcohol really penetrates the meat and makes it so tender, that you can use the cheaper cuts of meat and after a day or so of marinating they taste just like the top cuts.  Just mix all the ingredients together and add to a large ziplock bag and allow to marinate 24-48 hours.

Fusion Sushi is the art of mixing and matching different ingredients for the inside of a sushi roll. Originally, Edo style sushi was just the rice and one ingredient wrapped in the nori sheet. As it’s popularity grew, so did the number of combinations and recipes. These are the main ones that you’ll find almost anywhere around the US that have a combination of ingredients.

Spicy Tuna Roll

  • by

I just got in my sushi mat set that I ordered a few days ago, so I’ve been on a sushi kick since.  I’ve made a few of these rolls for dinner the last couple days. It’s actually pretty cheap to make up sushi surprisingly, much cheaper than going out.  The main ingredients like the Rice, Rice Vinegar, Seaweeed Paper (Nori), Wasabi, Soy Sauce and a Mat all cost less than $20 total and that will give you enough stock to make dozens of rolls, just buy a little bit of the filling ingredients and you’re good to go.
