    My fish guy picked up another Tuna late yesterday. Early morning social media post that some would be available in the market today.


    I made Tuna ribbons with a ginger infused Dashi.
    Impressive man, looks great.

    That is beautiful. Are you a professional chef? Your food always looks so amazing. 
    Thanks. I'm not a professional chef but I did work making pizza for a time.

    Spring rolls for lunch.
    Got a little carried away with the Sriracha for mine.  

    How do you cook them?  Do the ingredients go in steamed or does the whole thing get steamed??

    They actually don't steam....
    The shrimp and rice noodles are cooked.
    Everything else is raw (for these, mint, lettuce, carrots, scallions, cilantro, carrots, strawberries)

    The rice paper goes into a warm water bath (I had the large skillet shown about half filled with warm water) for about 5 seconds, you then lay the wrap on the board, fill with toppings, and roll.

    I am sure I will get better at rolling - easier with less items - and we will find different combinations we like.  Last time we had no fruit and it made a big difference to get some sweetness and something with a bit of liquid in there.

    Easy and find of fun - rolling food into items always seems fun.

    Hmm interesting... I think I would enjoy more if the carrots were cooked and the lettuce was cabbage, but that would probably be sacrilege lol

    No, I think the most interesting part of this is that you can do anything you want.
    Sort of like working on burritos.  Make what you like.

    Fail on the eggs, but still tastes good.

    Open face hash browns, cheddar, roast beef, egg Sammie.
    (Eggs should have been over easy)

    When I first started cooking I was by the recipe. I’d make awesome stuff but always followed recipes exactly. This guy was from some baby octopus I got and other stuff I pulled together, with no recipe.

    Tako is the fucking bomb.  Very nice!
    What else did you make to go with?

    Back when that show Chopped first went on food network, I think in late 2000s, I used to like to pretend I had to make something resembling a complete meal from just shit I had in my freezer, fridge, or kitchen.  No shopping, no recipes.  It was fun.  Sometimes the stuff was surprisingly strong.  Sometimes is was equally weak.  Still enjoyed doing it and gave me more room to be creative.
