Simplistic recipes are probably one of the most desired and sometimes the best in flavor. There is definitely a sensory overload with food, to many distinctive leaves the taste buds saying” what the F”. Who better does this than
the Japanese, with little ingredients and a huge flavor? In the summer one of my favorite things to do is eat at a Japanese restaurant because of its light food and a kick ass time (I’m sorry my Spanish friends...but the sake is easier to take then tequila). Well that’s my story but I urge you to try it, don’t be scared, it’s not all raw. Be daring try some sashimi, working at a restaurant has made be appreciate freshness and this stuff is the freshest. Who thinks to eat seaweed? The Japanese that’s who and it’s freakin delicious, and I eat it by the fist full. Here is one of my favorite meals and it’s slightly Japanese; Pan Seared Tuna Tuna Steaks as fresh as you can get. Sesame seeds Wakame seaweed salad First cover each wide of the steak with sesame seed. Next get a sauté pan with enough oil to coat the bottom of the hot. Then sear, you can see the change in temp so it’s easy to tell. I suggest on searing each side real quick and serving rare. Serve with wakime and enjoy. Eat!!! |
