MarketWatch: Isetan Umaimono Fair

I recently went to Isetan Umaimono Fair @ Scotts, and found some interesting goodies! There were refreshing Fruit Juices (do try the peach and grape!), succulent Mentaiko, delicious Udon and Soba, crispy and chewy Ijima Shoten (Fried Squid) and yummy Sardine Ball soup!

This is Multi-coloured Kelp, which I made into a chilled salad with Wakame.



The Udon and Soba is really good! They have a Wakame version of the Udon too! (It is green in colour because they added Wakame powder)

Camemberu: Nigella's Mirin-Glazed Salmon

I was wowed by Camemberu's delicious photo of Nigella's Mirin-Glazed Salmon recipe, so I tried it out. And it turned out really well!

3 1/2 tbsp mirin
2 tbsp brown sugar
4 tbsp soy sauce
1 large salmon fillet
2 tbsp rice vinegar

1.Mix mirin, brown sugar and soy sauce in a dish and marinate salmon fillet. Meanwhile, set the frying pan on high heat.
2.Place the salmon on the pan for 2 minutes, turn over and add the marinade. Cook for another 1 minute.
3.Put the salmon onto the plate. Add the vinegar to the pan.
[I put the salmon back onto the pan again, flipping after 1/2 a minute. I removed the salmon onto the plate after a minute.]
4.Pour the glaze over the salmon and serve.

Note: I tweaked the recipe a little from the original.

Wondering what carbo I should cook to go with the salmon, I ended up making another batch of sauce and frying it with udon in some oil, and got... Mirin-Glazed Salmon Yaki-Udon!!
