Sushi Night

The other night we wanted to have sushi but did not feel like going out (Valencia has limited options for a good meal out which is why we cook so much). We decided to do sushi night at home instead.


We picked up some sushi grade salmon and yellowtail and made some nigiri and a roll. I was a pretty simple meal and a whole lot of fun to make! We originally tried this a long time ago with a couple of our friends in Chicago. I highly reccomend it when you want to try to make something new and can be a fun thing to entertain a small group of friends.

Firey Noodles!

So what do you get when you want Pho but don't feel like making broth? You end up with noodles, thinly sliced beef and veggies in a bowl with a mix of sour, savory and hot. For this recipe I also added a lot of heat since It seems to be a favorite with our friends and family. For me, it just makes me cry inside :).
