Food challenge day 2: BAKED SALMON

Today I found out that I should continue with an easy fish-dish. I had some salmon in my freezer and figured out that I wanted to use it today. I searched "cooking-with-dog" for any salmon-dishes and this is what I ended up with:

I had to change a lot on this recipe because of the shrooms and the fact that I didn't have mush vegetables my refrigerator. Soo what I used instead was:

• 1/2 onion
• 1 carrot
• 3-4 cloves of garlic (because I love garlic) 
• A handfull of French beans

All the vegetables was fried in a wokpan for a few minutes, just to get them heated up. I like my vegetables a little crunchy, specially the carrots, but the heating time is all up to what you like. 

I also used 250 g raw salmon which I heated on 225*C for about 40 minutes

The sauce: 

• 1 lemon
• The same amount soysauce as the lemonjuice

I ended up adding just a pinch with wasabi-sauce and a little bit of sesame oil for great taste.

I used about half of the sauce on the vegitables while they got fried and the other half on top of the meal when put together. 

Put the vegetables in a round bowl, add the fish on top and sprinkle on some white sesame seeds. 

This is how my dish looked when it was done: 

Game: Tera

Presenting an online MMRPG!

One of my favorite games at the moment must be: Tera. It's like all the other MMRPG games out there, but something facinated me more with this than for example Word of Warcraft (no hate please, that is just not something for me :))

Oh well, back to Tera. The gamedesign is more on the cute side than the rough side. By that I mean errhhh the moves and the characters can have everything from wings to cute small animal ears as accessories. One example is the race: Elin and Popori: 

Elin

Popori

Picture of an Elin and a Popori :)

I guess I can add up the rest of the races when I'm at it: 

Aman (Male)

Aman (Female)

Baraka

The next race is the race I have as my main: It's called Castanic: 

*ADD PICTURE* 

High Elf (Female)

Human (Female) 

As probably notices, most ot the female outfits are a little...errhh revealing. Nothing new or special since this is an asianmade game. Lots of fan-service :)

Anyway, now that we have taken a look on the races, I think it's time to look at the different classes; 

Close combat: Berserker, Slayer, Warrior and Lancer 

Range: Archer, Sorcerer

Healers: 

Gameplay: 

It's like all MMRPG games, you're going to do a lot of quests; zone and story quests. It's a lot of repeatable tasks but you won't get that bored by it. Like you have normal "killing" quests, where you need to kill of like 10 of a kind. These one are quite simple and only require time. 

The quests that are really requiring some skills are the bam-quests, where you have to kill of a bigger and more difficult enemy. It's recommended that you do this one as a party, since it takes up much time to solo it. 

Some classes are good solo characters like Lancer (supertanky and can hold up for a long time), I also think that it's not that hard for a slayer, berserker or an warrior to solo it.

I myself have tried to solo with mystic and an archer. Mystic did work if you're up for like 10-15 minutes, which means if you do one mistake, you have to start all over.. The easiest mistake to be done is to drag another bam after you... then you're pretty much fucked. 

I have also tried soloing with an archer, but I noticed that it's too difficult to move away from the attacks, because of short jumpback skill. 

Different kinds of BAMs: 

Bamfight with lancer

Zone quests are marked with yellow ex marks "!" and story quests are maked in red

What I really like about Tera is the way they have used the map to make things a lot easier for the player. Instead of wondering "oh where the hell is that kind of BAM or enemy?" you can just click on the quest tab and the objects and your objects will show as a orange circle on your map. 

There is so much more to write about this game but I'll update this later if I feel like it :)

Japanese food challenge day 1: TAMAGOYAKI!

I am going to do a little theme-posts event, where I'll make japanese food by watching my very favorite cooking show; "cooking with dog". I'll do this because I simply love asian food and because it's so much fun to make a little different food that what's "normal" in my country. Since I'm foreign, and lots of the ingredients are difficult to get, i'll add some changes throughout the recipe. Maybe some will say that it's not the same without the right ingredients but what can I do?  

So what i'll do if mark each post with "Food challenge day #", but of course I don't have time to blog every day so this will only work as a reminder on how many recipes I have gone through. I will add the original video on every post and add my own picture at the end, where I'll list of the ingredients. Hope you all will like it

So here it goes:

This is a very easy recipe for japanese omelette, and it's so much fun to make it. I used a big pan circle-formed pan to make this and it worked out pretty well, but the shape isn't that pretty compared to a square-formed pan.

First I'll just add the ingredients listed in the youtube-video:

Ingredients for Tamagoyaki (serves 2)
3 Eggs
3 tbsp Dashi Stock
(3 tbsp water+a pinch of dashi stock powder)
1⅓ tbsp Sugar
1 tsp Soy Sauce
2 pinches of Salt
20g Mitsuba Parsley Leaves (0.7 oz)
or substitute: spring onion, coriander, mentaiko (marinated roe of pollock) or aonori seaweed
Daikon Radish, Grated
1 Shiso Leaf
A splash of Soy Sauce
Olive Oil or your favorite vegetable oil
Tamagoyaki Pan (15x16.5cm/6x6.5 in)

Since my pan was a little bigger than the chefs pan I used 4 eggs instead of 3. The Dashi-stock is something that's quite hard to find here, so i just removed it and placed it with some sesame-oil (Because I really like the taste). I use a soy sause with less salt in too, because it can quickly get too salty. 

The filling ended up being dried chives, but as she mentioned you can use whatever greenstuff you want. In another video she used spinach. 

I didn't really care for the garnish so I just cut out the rest.

This is how my dish looked when it was done: 

As you can see, since I used a circle-pan the front piece didn't look so good. 

Well that's the first one. Hopefully I won't forget to add more dishes :) 

Stay tuned!
