Who knew that I would seek out a sustainable sushi bar? Didn't think it was a thing-but then I forgot that I'm in San Francisco.
Decided to stop by over the weekend and was really pleasantly surprised. One of the highest quality sushi restaurants I've visited in awhile. Sampled a California roll (natch), the double-double roll (tempura fried spicy albacore roll, masago, green onion and sesame seeds) and the very awesome looking extinguisher roll (albacore tuna, avocado, habanero sauce, and spicy aioli). Did I mention that the extinguisher was on fire? Cause it was.
Everything tasted fresh and was awesomely made. It's a small space so expect a wait.
Two locations in the city. Peep the menu and all the details on their site: Tataki Sushi Bar
Count this as one of the easiest and thriftiest meals out there. The long and short of it: mix some things and let them simmer in a slow cooker for about 6 hours. I found the original recipe from a Campbell's book, but made a few adjustments.
Those things to mix are:
Serving size: 6-8 bowls of soup
- 1 lbs chicken breast, browned and shredded
- 1 large onion, diced
- 8 oz chunky salsa-with heat depending on taste
- 1 cup frozen, whole corn kernels
- 2 tablespoons of garlic pepper
- 5-8 dashes of your favorite hot sauce
- 1 3/4 cup reduced sodium chicken broth
Brown the chicken breast and onion. Cube or shred the chicken. I think shredding it spreads the chicken love more evenly throughout the soup. To shred the chicken, take two forks and pull the chicken apart.Mix the onion, salsa, corn, garlic pepper, chicken and onion in the slow cooker. Turn it on low for about 6 hours.This meal is a great fix for the whole week.Enjoy!
I, like 99% of Americans, enjoy delicious crispy potato chips. One day after the holidays, I found myself with about a pound of potatoes. Laziness drove me to think I could make my own chips. The fatal flaw was were thick, uneven slices and oil that wasn't hot enough. However, out of this came circular fries, which were welcome, but not the intended end result.
A kitchen gadget to consider is a mandolin that will slice the potato thinly and evenly.
You know what they say though, practice makes perfect, so I'm going to keep eating chips...wait, that's not right...
