Make the perfect sushi rice

Image
How to make the perfect sushi rice: Ingredients: 1 cup of Kaneyama Sushi Rice  1 1/2 cups Water (The ratio is about 1:1.25) Start by cleaning the sushi rice at least 4 times till water runs clear by swishing the rice in water and draining. After the final drain add the cleaned rice to a small pot. Let the rice soak in the water for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes cover and cook over medium heat until it starts to boil. After it starts to boil turn it down to low and let sit for 13 minutes or until the water is gone / not visible. After 13 minutes take off the burner and let sit for 10 minutes leaving the cover on the steam. After that, you have perfect sushi rice. I would recommend pairing with seaweed and your favorite sushi toppings. This is the first time I have been able to make sushi rice all on my own. There are tons of recipes that tell you all different things on how to do it and it has never worked out for me. I know this is more specific in ingredients but if you want to mak...

Veggie Bowl Food Truck Review

Image
  There are two known veggie bowl locations and I decided to adventure off to Oregon City and try the newly added food truck.  The first time I went there I got the Hearty Veggie West which contained brown rice, quinoa, kale, tomatoes, mixed greens, avocado, black beans, black olives, flaxseed, cilantro, and Richi's Sauce. However I did remove the quinoa, kale, and flax seed knowing full well I would not enjoy them. And then added their Teriyaki Soy Curls, which if I had to say something they are known for it would be this.  Honestly, it turned out way better than I expected. Everything was fresh and tasted great and I was really happy with the one that I choose knowing I like all those other ingredients. And the soy curls tasted great, they say they taste like chicken which I don't entirely agree but to be fair I haven't had chicken in years. But there was nothing off-putting about the texture, which is a big thing for me I am very picky about texture, and I genuinely re...

Crunchy Salad Recipe

Image
  This recipe is based on a previous recipe on my blog, as well as a recipe I have made my entire life. Not sure where we got it, all I remember is this was in my grandma's recipe book but I have made some improvements and changes over the years. I have had this my whole life and it will forever be one of my favorite dishes. This is the new and improved small-batch, which makes about two hearty bowls. Ingredients: 1 pack of coleslaw mix (non-sauce) 2 packs of crushed ramen (no seasoning) 1 bundle of  green onions, chopped 1 pack of cooked Sweet Earth "Chicken" strips 1/2 teaspoon of salt 1 teaspoon of black pepper 5 tables spoons of sugar 2 tablespoons of vinegar 6 tablespoons of vegetable oil Cook the chicken, chop the onion, crush the ramen and add everything into a bit dish. Mix and you have your salad. And perfection.
