Method

Preparation of Teriyaki

  1. 1

    Make the Teriyaki Sauce

    In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves, then set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare Chicken and Salmon

    Marinate chicken and salmon separately in half of the teriyaki sauce for at least 30 minutes.

Cooking Protein

  1. 3

    Cook Chicken

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Brush with additional teriyaki sauce during cooking.

  2. 4

    Cook Salmon

    In the same skillet, add the marinated salmon and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it flakes easily with a fork.

Tempura Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare Tempura

    Mix the tempura batter mix with cold water according to package instructions. Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C). Dip vegetables in the batter and fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

California Roll Preparation

  1. 6

    Prepare Sushi Rice

    Cook sushi rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, let it cool slightly, then spread a thin layer over nori sheets.

  2. 7

    Assemble California Rolls

    On the rice-covered nori, layer avocado, cucumber, and crab. Roll tightly and slice into bite-sized pieces.

Seaweed Salad Preparation

  1. 8

    Rehydrate Wakame

    Soak wakame seaweed in warm water for 10 minutes. Drain and chop into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 9

    Mix Salad Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine rehydrated wakame, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and sesame seeds. Toss to combine.

Miso Soup Preparation
