Mayim's Homemade Sushi

I made a selection of the Sushi recipe to make because it's very simple but yet very creative. It's creative because you are able to make your own style out of it and design it on your own. Not only does it look creative, but it taste delicious as well. The Sushi dish would be great for people that are not a big fan of cooking for a long time. The only thing you have to cook is the rice, which is very simple. I mean, if you want to eat something that's not a big meal but it would still fill you up, the Sushi would be a perfect dish for you. 

Ingredients:

-Salmon with the skin off

-Seaweeds for Sushi (Any brand)

-Sushi Rice (Any brand)

-Avocado (Make sure its ready and not hard)

-Frozen Crab Sticks/Meat

-Cucumber 

Instructions:

1.) Cook the rice, put vinegar, and mix it. Then wait a little while until the rice gets cold.

 2.) Slice the cucumbers, Crab meat, avocado, and salmon in long pieces.

3.) Put the rice on top of the Seaweed and press it down until its flat on the seaweed paper. 

4.) Then place the sliced up avocado, salmon, cucumbers, and crab meat on top of it and decided how you would want to design it. 

5.) Roll the seaweed up along with what's inside and while rolling it, you are pressing it down so they are able to all stick together. 

6.) After rolling it, you cut it into little pieces and you decide how long you want it to be cut.

7.) Place it on the plate and be creative with how you want it to be placed.

8.) ENJOY!

Alex's Chicken Cordon Bleu

I selected this Chicken Cordon Bleu recipe because it is one of my favorite family dishes. I originally  got the idea from my father. My father made his own version of the Chicken Cordon Bleu which tastes amazing and he only makes it on very rare occasions. He makes this dish when we have a special guests over that we haven't seen for some time, usually friends of the family. I haven't had this dish in a long time and I've never really cooked anything like this before, so for this project I decided to ask my dad to supervise the process to make sure I completed everything properly. With some pointers from my father I gathered all the ingredients and made a great tasting Chicken Cordon Bleu for the family. Heres how it was done.

                     4 skinless and boneless chicken breasts
                     4 thin slices of prosciutto di parma

                     2 eggs
                     1 cup of breadcrumbs
                     1 1/2 cup of olive oil (NOT extra virgin)
                     salt and black pepper

6) Then place 1-2 leaves of spinach across the breast on top of the prosciutto

8) Then tightly roll the chicken breast from the bottom up to the top
9) Scramble the 2 eggs in a bowl (add seasoning as desired)
10) Dip the rolled chicken breast into the egg mixture
11) Then roll the chicken once again in the breadcrumbs making sure to cover it completely
12) Then pour the 1 1/2 cup of olive oil into a frypan and turn up the stove to high medium heat
13) Carefully place the breaded chicken into the frying pan
14) Cook thoroughly (est. time 15-20 minutes)
15) Be sure to turn over chicken every few minutes to make sure all sides are cooked well
16) When completed, slice the chicken into 6 or 7 pieces and serve
17) Enjoy!

Top Ramen David style

             
             So for this recipe I've decided to choose and cook the very simple yet enjoyable Top Ramen Noodles, except adding my own flavor and extra ingredients to my noodles soup. I decided to go with beef flavored ramen for this document. The reason I picked ramen for this is because believe it or not there's meaning behind it. Ever since I started watching anime years ago and to this day I couldn't help but fall in love with ramen. This was due to the fact that in the mainstream anime "naruto" or any other anime its a popular dish that's always prepared. So i saw this and started to make my self two packets of ramen for every episode of anime i watch if i were hungry. It just felt right and not only that satisfied my hunger for a few hours until i was ready for a heavier dish. A good beverage to have with Ramen is some nice soothing Green or chamomile tea with honey, followed by a nice cold glass of water because you will be sweating from how hot a meal like this can make you.

 First I boil water in a pot and wait until it's nice and hot to throw the noodles squares in it. Once the noodles are nice and broken up from the boiling water you add the seasoning. Now i just don't make your average everyday top ramen with just the flavor packet because that's just plain boring! My ingredients consist of : the obvious flavor packet, black pepper, garlic powder, adobo seasoning, oregano, and tobasco hot sauce. All of this adds a rich flavor to not only the noodles but the broth. Now that's just the flavoring. To compliment the noodles I thinly slice up Vienna Sausages straight out of the can into the pot so they can absorb the broth for flavor. I then boil one or two eggs in a separate pot then put it to the side while i peel it and add it to the dish when its done. Viola! You have yourself some top ramen with a variety of seasonings with sausages and an egg. You can make this if you're sick, cold or while you watch your favorite program.
