Quick asian something

http://www.coeurdesel.com/files/r0028460-tm.jpg

This is one of our basics. Fast and delicious, perfect for one of the way to many working days when supper has to be quick. It turns out different every time depending on what is around.

There are a few basics though:

Brown rice
Salmon ( could also be mackerel or eel )
Avocado
Cucumber
Onion
Cilantro
Soya sauce
Hoisin sauce
Sesame oil

Cook the rice, fry the salmon and the onions, cut the cucumber and the avocado into cubes, mix everything together, season with some sesame oil, serve in a big bowl.
Now that's fast isn't it?

Beautiful additions to this dish:

Fresh shiitake mushrooms ( almost a must ) fried
Fresh lime to season
Auster sauce
Shrimps
Thai basil
China cabbage and carrots fried

The sauces go wonderfully with this dish but be careful not to put to much into it, otherwise it get's slimy as my husband said yesterday.... charming isn't he?

Umis Gyoza

gyoza

Mayumi posted her delicious qyozo recipe here earlier. Last month she found time to introduce me to the art of making gyoza.
So here again with more details for the beginners:

Cut Chinese cabbage and leek very thin, ad salt and let sit for some time. Squeeze (use a kitchen cloth for this).

For 30 pices:

1 tbs miso
1 tbs Sake
grated garlic
ingwer juice

mix all together.

Clean the shrimps 12 pices and ad 1 tbs maizena

Combine with the miso mixture and ad some sesame.
Meanwhile defrost the frozen dumpling skins (round shape)

Add 1 spoon of the mixture to the frozen dumpling skin. Use water for moistening the border.

And now comes the really difficult part fold the gyoza.
