This is a blog where I'm going to write about anime, manga, japan, games, or other totally random things I care about or think is funny enough to share
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:
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.
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 :)
Have you ever struggled with doing your job or homework because you wish to listen to something not too distracting, but find yourself starting up spotify?
Well I have. A lot of times. Yeah spotify got lots of great songs but when you need to concentrate, what you really need, is:
1. First, a song without lyrics. The second you find yourself singing along with the vocalist, you have already failed. This is one of the most annoying thing if you need to concentrate. By all means, this is MY personal opinion. Some people can still work with singing in the background.
Here you get some songs by our big reggae star, Bob Marley allthough with vocals though:. This is a video on 2.41 hours:
Unfortunately I couldn't find it on the easy-add video function on blogger, so I will give you the direct link to youtube instead: -->YOUTUBE<--
2. Second, I think classic music is the very best for working. You might think I'm very wrong here but I have actually felt more concentrated while listening to soft pan-flute music, like this one
I actually found this one too, which was quite good, where you'll have a chilled beat in the background:
3. Third is the type of genre, even if the song is instrumental it could still be giving you problem with working, but as I mentioned earlier, this is so different from person to person. I'm adding a video from Daft Punk, instrumental version of the song "Lose yourself to Dance" hopefully you'll enjoy it.
Here is another one, with piano as the main instrument; playing good old love songs, I turned down the volume a bit here, or else some parts will get to loud to work with:
If you are more of the jazz-type it's easy to find something good to work with. I found one that last 6 hours, so no I haven't heard through it all, since I'm not the biggest jazz fan :P but it has gotten 1.5 mill hits in under a year so I guess it's good stuff :)
Some instrumental R&B music, not to much superdrops or anything, just chill beats;
Next one is also in the R&B genre, but instead of piano as the main instrument we got a guitar instead: Worth listening to:
For those who prefer a little bit of instrumental slow rock, Sinima Beats got some very good ones:
More slow guitar with some rap-inspirited beats:
If you ignore the 10 sec start-up subscribe part this is a melody consisting of a beautiful piano + some extra beats;
That's all for now, I should really get going with my own working, instead of giving you all these examples of studying music. Maybe I'll make a part 2 to this with more to pick from :)
I guess lots of you already heard of the asdf-movies on youtube. One of the highly random movies out there :P. One of the random stuff in the movie is the mineturtle. A cute little turtle that only say "hello", and if you are so unlucky to step on it, or somehow click the button on it's back... it will explode.. like a mine. Obviously x)
Here is the little Mineturtle song: ENJOY^^
And for those interested in watching more of the asdf-movies -->here's<-- a link to the channel.
I have just gotten Vegas Pro 11, sooo I have been trying it out sometimes. I made a movie about my chinchilla jumping, just because he's just too cute. I just thought I should share it with you C:
Yoo!
Wow more videoes for you too see!! This time I chose a Japanese musicvideo with some very cute and colorful girl on! Everything is pink and childish. The vid is kinda creepy really but the song is a song that could make anyone cheerful and happy, after my opinion ^^
Super Kawaii desu! <-- lol I guess those words
are the first one any person who want to learn Japanese learn c:
And by any mean you didn't know this, it just means "cute"
I had forgotten about this until today, when I saw it randomly again xD!
It's a youtube video by "tomorsketches" where they play through some of the songs that rules the internet like Nyan cat, the leek-spin with Orihime (from bleach.. you all remember that one right?" and the trolololo and some more...
But they are really really good and funny!
Oh btw look at 0:39.. the guy is playing guitar with a leek! ... <--- more random stuff xD
but yeah check it out and give them a thumb up for creativity!
Enjoy!!
trololo, meme, nyancat, song <--- random tags C:
This is one of the better music videos I have seen
It tells the story about people getting robbed, and how man's best friend the dog saves them all
Its so fantastic made, and it shows the love that the animals give to the humans
I nearly cried .. (yeah I know I'm very emotional..>.>) at the turning point
Just take 3 and a half minute to watch this, you won't regret it.
The music is also very good. Most people would like this kind of music C:
The band is called Swedish House Mafia and they started playing together in 2008
"Save the world" is their new single, which chartet at #10 in the UK Chart
