Green Grunge!

Miso Cod- used white miso, mirin, rice vinegar, oil, ginger, and a bit of soy- i think next time a wee bit more soy to cut the sweetness but it was really nicely flavored. Bakes at 400 F for 15 min. 


Apparently Nobu marinates the pieces of cod in the miso mix for 2-3 days so that the flavour really steeps in... perhaps will do that the next time... 




Served the cod over a wasabi hash of edamame, corn, carrot, purple yam, and white potato. The veggies were good- next time will try using horseradish instead of wasabi power for an extra kick! Also served baby bok choy steamed in mirin, chicken broth, and ginger... yum!


And to finish it off- I attempted chocolate molten lava cakes but I accidentally left the cakes in the oven for 2 extra minutes so they didn't turn out as gooey as I'd like them to be- doh!

Before the oven- ramekins perfectly buttered and chocolate carefully folded into the egg batter

Came out of the oven beautifully! Was able to turn the cakes out without any breaking...just was not molten enough!

Chocolate Molten Lava Cake (well really... flour- less chocolate cake now) served with raspberry gelato- needed a sprig of basil to complete the garnish...

But Melissa and I had a good time cooking :)




Melissa a little frustrated 
with chopping the purple 
yams into tiny bits...
