Sushi Day on Shine

Spam Musubi

nospam@example.com ()

Spam musubi is a popular Hawaiian snack using spam, rice, and nori (seaweed used for sushi). I find it to be really yummy and not too difficult to make. The marinated and fried spam tastes almost like unagi (eel), in an odd roundabout way... trust me, it's good! (I know many of you turn your noses up at the idea of spam (the food), but it's actually pretty good! Try it scrambled in eggs too :) Yum!)

How to Make Tempura at Home!

Tempura is the perfect party snack. Everyone loves tempura - it's more or less healthy (since it is mostly made with vegetables), most everyone likes fried foods, and yet it's not heavy like many fried foods are... it's actually pretty light! Most anything can be tempura fried. Typically sliced vegetables and shrimp are the normal tempura fare, but meats, sushi (yum!), and even bananas can be tempura fried! (Just make sure you get an underripe banana, because it softens when you fry it so ripe bananas will fall apart. Don't believe me? Look at this post on my website where I used a tempura fried banana in sushi!)

Hot and Cheesy Wontons!

These cheese and jalapeño wontons (also known as Cheese Age, pronounced ah-gay) are the perfect party food. Fried, cheesy, spicy finger food. Great for watching the big game (whichever game you prefer), or partying with friends! Sure, they take a little time to make, but you can make them a day or two before hand, then refrigerate them, reheating them right before you want to eat them. These are amazing, and incredibly addictive! I have made them two or three times since I first had them at a restaurant called Honda-Ya, and I always get rave reviews!

Easy Crepes

I have loved crêpes ever since my old ballet company hired the "Crêpe Lady" for one of our annual garden parties (a sort of fundraising thing for the company). Ever since then I have gotten crêpes at every chance, so of course I had to try making them myself!

This recipe is super easy to make... almost like making pancakes! You can put all sorts of sweet or savory fillings in them... some of my favorites are sliced bananas with chocolate syrup, or ham and asparagus with this cheese sauce! (It's at the bottom of the post). Very yummy. What types of fillings do you like in your crêpes?
