Salad rice

This was for breakfast
Salad rice soup & last nights salad
Just throwing together some small white fish, diced tomatoes and chopped spinach into a pot of instant tomatoe soup and lastly adding some rice into it, gave us a very very yummy bowl of nutrition boost this morning.

Dinner was
Salad rice with heaps of summer vegetables & salmon
I love to see the colours of summer vegetables all in one bowl. And since i the farmers mart had a nice mix of vegetables yesterday, i bought a bit of this and that, cut them into bite sized pieces, stir fried them in some sake, and tossed in some salmon flakes to create the basic salad. Seasoned with some salt, shoyu, topped with shiso leaves and mixed wild grains (store bought), topped on brown rice, this was one salad rice packed fuuuuuuuuuuuuuul of flavour. Oh, and the lime really gave the salad a nice accent and was very appetising too!
Since all the goodness was already packed in one plate, i had some space for some junk food =P
Grilled pumpkin yoghurt cream cheese salad topped with... lots of curls
Curls is this puffed corn snack that reminds me a lot of cheezels, and that J simply is crazy over.
Curls compared to cheezels, curls is much less salty (which is why i still prefer my cheezels, and Jun still like curls though he has tried the 10 times yummier cheezels).
Anyhow, curls has 2 standard flavours, lightly salted, and cheese. But for every season, like for most Japanese snacks, there is a seasonal flavour, which is always labelled Limited stock. And most of the time when i see this phrase, my knees go weak and i just have to put it in the basket.
So this season, BBQed corn. was good!
