A salad bowl that represents almost all of the components of one of my favorite cuisines. This is light yet filling and definitely big on taste. I would recommend adding wasabi on the side if you like things hot; I happen to not be a major fan of the stuff so I skipped on it. And also consider adding pickled ginger to the bowl, which I bought to use here, but forgot to include in the dish and thus the photo – yea I’m scattered. I had already eaten my bowl when I discovered I had neglected to include it. There’s always next time.
Feel free to sub in salmon or crab for the shrimp. I also thought about subbing in quinoa for the rice – just a suggestion. Tried to keep it as authentic as possible here – don’t forget the chopsticks!
