Sanriku Kaisendon: The Best Chirashi of my Life

Donald & I went to Sushi Koto yesterday to fulfill his sushi craving. I had read about how it has some of the best Chirashi bowls to offer in Orange County. Hands down, absolutely not disappointed. Everything in that bowl was fresh, high quality, & delicious. It was also very filling, especially since it came with salad, miso soup, & dessert. The Chirashi bowl consisted of: steamed abalone, salmon, tuna, big scallop, yellowtail, squid, masago, ikura, & avocado all over a bed of rice. Talk about a day in the life of a fatty.

French Onion Soup

As a college student on a budget, soup comprises most of my diet since it gets you full without spending too much money & is quite healthy! Although the health factor depends on the ingredients you use, obviously. I used a slice of whole wheat bread from Whole Foods in place of a french baguette & vegetable broth instead of beef, since I’m a pescetarian. I did use Gruyère cheese, which is the traditional French Onion Soup ingredient. The first layer of cheese is melted, but for presentational reasons, I sprinkled on grated Gruyère cheese. I will be adding this recipe soon enough!
