Sashimi Pate

I don't know what this is called, so I just named it Sashimi pate. Anyway, I first tried this during my Uncle's birthday, and got the recipe from my Aunt. This is a great appetizer, serve this with fried "siomai" wrappers or any chips you want (crisped pita bread is ok too!).



Sashimi Pate

Mix together the following:
1 cup diced A-grade tuna (used for Sashimi)
1 Tbsp Kikkoman soy sauce
1 1/2 Tbsp Garlic Chili sauce
1 Tbsp Lemon juice
1 tsp wasabi powder (depends on your taste)
1 Tbsp Sesame Oil
Chopped chives
*1 Tbsp real mayonnaise. I didn't add mayo in mine.



Enjoy!

Chicken in Mushroom Cream Sauce

I posted pictures of the latest food that I have book in Facebook, and there were quite a number of requests for the recipe of the Chicken with Mushroom Cream Sauce.

So, without further ado... here it is. I hope I remember it right!



Ingredients:

3 tbsp butter, divided
5-6 breast fillets
2 cups sliced cremini mushrooms (baby portobello)
2/3 cup chicken stock
2/3 cup white wine (dry)
2/3 cup cream
1 tbsp fresh thyme or 1/2 tsp dried thyme
salt and pepper to taste

heat 2 tablespoons butter and add the chicken fillet. brown on both sides, then add the sliced cremini mushrooms. set aside the mushrooms and chicken.

add another tablespoon of butter to the pan, then mix in 2/3 cup chicken stock, 2/3 cup wine, thyme, salt and pepper. scrape the bottom bits. once boiled, simmer for 5 minutes. then stir in 2/3 cup cream and simmer for another 2 minutes or so. then add back the chicken and mushrooms.

Serve with arugula salad (extra virgin olive oil, lemon, salt and pepper)

enjoy!
