Food Porn VI

This week was Asia, specifically China and Japan.

 King Pao Chicken.

 Dan Dan Noodles that are the bane of my existence. I made them twice this week and they were subpar both times. New life goal: perfect the Dan Dan Noodle.

 Chinese Barbeque Pork.

 Bring on the Sushi! This is eel, obviously. Or Unagi as all the recipes said. It took me 15 minutes to figure out what the fuck Unagi was

 My first roll of sushi! This is a Dragon Roll. Tempura Shrimp in the middle, Unagi and Avocado on the outside.

 Dragon roll cut with pickled ginger and wasabi balls. I said balls.

 California rolls.

 Vegetable sushi of some kind. I didn't roll this, but my dragon rolls were on the plate, so I took a picture.

 Spicy Tuna rolls. This shit was good. We had some issues with rolling it and making it look good, as you can see. Too much rice, not enough spicy tuna.

 More of the vegetable rolls.

 Oshikashi. It is a wilted spinach salad with soy and mirin dressing. Surprisingly good.

 Seared Salmon with wasabi mayo.

 On the left are california rolls. On the right are a bunch of variety rolls...we just put a bunch of stuff in the them and rolled them. Not sure what some of them are. 

 These are the vegetable rolls done correctly. 

 Green tea rice. Surprisingly good...but the green tea that I used to make it costs $50 a pound. Probably not something I can realistically make at home.

 Up close of the Dragon Roll. You are not supposed to have that spiral affect in good quality sushi, but considering it was my first time, I think I still did a pretty good job.

Salmon Sashimi.
