...Losing my temper results to a wasabi- salad creationGoing home today was not the happiest for me - I lost my temper today, got stuck in work, did no yoga or running and was basically TIRED. I had half my mind to just pop in something instant in the microwave then I said "I'm going to cook" to calm me.
Nothing sweet could be concocted in my head in my state of mind and I just wanted something that tastes close to home - Japanese perhaps? Something crunchy and strong tasting to take away the bitter taste in my mouth (and heart perhaps?)
Tofu-Walnuts
* 1/2 cups chopped walnuts
* 3/4 cups firm tofu
* Stir Fry in olive oil until Tofu is firm, golden brown and absorbs the taste of the walnuts
Green Salad at the bottom
* 3 cups mixed green leaves
* Shredded carrrots
* Topped with 6 shredded Kani sticks
Wasabi Dressing
* 1 tsp wasabi powder
* 1 tbsp water
* 1 tbsp dijon mustard
* 1 tbsp mirin sauce
* 3 tsps kikoman soysauce
Top the salad greens with the tofu-walnuts and shredded kani, pour the dressing as needed.
Eaten with a slice or organic 4-grain bread with cheese and sun dried tomatoes - yum.
My heart may be tired - but my stomach is relaxed with this flavourful concoction.
