II - Asian Spaghetti - A Delicious Way To Serve Salmon



Song:  Land Of Oz

Artist:  Hilary Stagg


This is the second of two articles showing how to cook 
this highly nutritious and delicious meal...
Asian Spaghetti.


The next cooking pan is a large Wok (14").


The only flavoring sauces are Memmi...
and Sesame Oil.


Everything is set up...
now is the time to do the veg prep.


One bundle of green onions will suffice for the whole meal.

Simply cut away the roots.


Then peel away the outer layer.


Rinse them off...


and you are ready to dice them.




With the green onions cut...
and the Nori (spiced and dried seaweed) ready to top off the completed dish...
it is then on to the final cooking phase.


Pour just enough sesame oil into the wok to coat the lower sides.


Heat up the pan to a medium setting...
then add the minced salmon.


The idea here is to very lightly brown the surface of the salmon.

This will cause the sesame oil to infuse the salmon with a delicious flavor.

It takes just a minute or so for each side of the minced salmon to lightly brown.


Then add the spaghetti.


Separate the noodles to allow an even distribution of the mixture.


Then...
thoroughly mix in the salmon.

The sesame oil will then coat all of the noodles.

The idea is NOT to cook the noodles...
but to allow the sesame oil to flavor the whole mixture.


Turn off the heat...
then add about 3 table spoons of sesame oil in a serpentine fashion over the top.


Then add Memmi in about the same amount...
and in the same fashion.


Once again...
throughly mix the ingredients.

Be sure you mix from the very bottom to ensure an even distribution
of all of the Memmi and sesame oil.


Plate the mixture...
and then you are ready for the toppings.


One to two sheets of Nori per plate will suffice.


Simply tear and crumble the Nori on top.


Then sprinkle the green onions on top for a delicious meal.



Once again...
if you contact Yim's Asian Market in Reno, NV to see if they will ship you
this delicious Kimchi...you won't regret it
(I don't know if they will.  I just visit the market...
as it is but 15 minutes away).

They make it themselves...
and it is the best I have ever had.

This large container is just $9.99.

It is not only highly flavorful...
there is hardly any garlic in it.

Most of its flavor comes from the extra amount of red pepper paste they use.

Kimchi is very healthful.

It is especially good for the digestive system...
and the flavor it adds to Asian dishes is superb!


Everything was ready to try.

This was the first time I had cooked this meal.

It certainly looked delicious.



It turned out to be much better than I had expected it would be on my first try.

It was absolutely delicious!

I now have another salmon dish I may prepare.

You will also notice the large glass of fruit juice.

I now have my mother drink a full glass with her supper.

I will alternate among various color fruit juices for the health benefits.

Sometimes I will have her drink a blueberry, a pomegranate, or an orange juice.

Each color has particularly high nutrients the others do not.

I also have her drink one half a wine glass of very dark wine before bed
(Concord grape, and sometimes, blackberry, Manischewitz wine.
It is absolutely delicious...and chock full of all kinds of health benefits).

This not only helps her sleep...
it helps in her general health long term...
and it will help thin her blood durning the night hours when she sleeps.

She now sips it on a nightly basis as she watches late night TV...
just before she normally gets sleepy.

Heart attacks and strokes often happen between the hours of 2 and 4 AM.

This is when the body is at its lowest ebb in its cycle.

Mini and regular strokes often happen during these times...
as blood flow is at its lowest.

Drinking a half glass of a dark wine just before bed will be 
beneficial for the elderly...unless they have liver problems.


My second helping.


We will often give Hana a taste of our food.



This meal is also...
Hana approved :)


After our meals...
there was still plenty of leftovers.


Hana also ate well on this night (minus onions and Nori).

Onions are toxic to dogs.


Hana ate it all in a few minutes...
and licked her bowl clean.


I then had my mother save the rest for her next day's lunch.


Always remember...
as the mainstay meals...
strive for healthful...
and then look for ways to make them delicious.


In the world of health...
nutrition must be a top priority.

In the world of food...
nutritious may also be highly delicious.

This meal will make everyone supremely happy...
and it will help keep them supremely healthy.

I will also be looking for more ways to incorporate salmon in more dishes... 
as my wife tells me more of the dishes she cooks for Alex.

Salmon is a super food.

Now you have another way to make it into a super meal.
