{INSPIRATION} BEST Avocado Toast EVER!



Avocado on double-toasted Ezekiel bread with
spicy mayo, wasabi fumi furikake and sesame seeds
I hadn't had a good avocado toast since leaving my old private chef job at the marketing company. I used to pick up Ezekiel bread for the staff to have as a breakfast option. Admittedly, I thought this was just another fad diet food, and turned my snobbish nose away from it. One day though, I reluctantly gave it a try, and was floored. 


This thin, healthy AF bread was like a slice of double-toasted heaven, especially with fresh avocado smooshed all over it! I was hooked! 


Fast forward to Covid-19 summer, and I'm placing my weekly Walmart curbside pickup order. I ordered a bag of avocados and it struck me that they have Ezekiel bread in their freezer section! *adds to cart*

If you aren't familiar with Ezekiel bread, it is a flourless, low glycemic bread made from organically grown sprouted grains. I'm not going to start selling you this bread like I'm a nutritionist. I just REALLY like how it tastes, especially double-toasted and allowing the natural nutty flavours to come out! It's a PLUS that it is a healthy bread. It is found in your healthy food freezer section, and if you don't use it often, keep it frozen and break off what you need. If you go through it quickly, leave it in the fridge. Because it does not contain any preservatives, this bread does not have a long enough shelf life to keep outside of the fridge. 

They come in other flavours: raisin, sesame, flax and original. Specifically in the Montreal/South Shore Qc area, it can be found at Walmart (original only, $5.97) IGA (original, sesame, raisin $7-9) Metro (original, flax $7-8) and likely TAU and Avril (selection and pricing unknown).

Just take my word for it, give it a try! I am pretty certain you will like it! Top your avocado toast with your favourite toppings! I like this sushi spin off twist, but you can enjoy it any which way you prefer!

{FOOD PROCESSING} My Favourite Asian Ingredients!

Image
I thought it was time to do my Asian products post since I tend to lean towards Asian cooking often (gee, I wonder why?)  I moved away from the heart of Asian markets, and while I love where I live for the most part, the lack of Asian products here puts a huge damper on my cooking. I simply cannot cook without some of my favourite sauces and seasonings.  SOY SAUCE: Topping off my list is the most popular sauce in all Chinese cuisine? Soy sauce! I'll truthfully admit, I've used VH soy sauce since I moved to my non-Asian neighborhood. It does the job, is of a medium quality, gives enough flavour and colour to your food. When in doubt, VH it!  Do NOT use Walmart Great Value soy sauce. This is where no-name brand just plain sucks! It tastes weird... don't do it!  Best one: Lee Kum Kee Light and Dark soy sauce.  I really like this one.  OYSTER SAUCE: Lee Kum Kee hands down is THE best.  Just look for the panda brand.  Get the biggest bottle. Period. Non-Asian area? I have boug

{FOOD PROCESSING} LET'S TALK ABOUT BRINE!

Image
I am just going to tell it like it is. I really hate dry, tasteless lean proteins. In order to avoid this disappointment, I brine my chicken breasts and lean pork chops 99% of the time. When I am too lazy to brine, I am guaranteed to be disappointed with my meal. So, let's talk about brines! Most people already brine their Thanksgiving turkeys, so this is not new news! Some also brine their whole chickens for roast chicken. Also amazing! However, I brine pretty much all my chicken AND pork chops (not together of course!) The process of brining involves soaking your protein in a salty mixture, flavoured with a variety of herbs and spices. The brine penetrates into the protein, absorbing the brine, which ends up making your protein more flavourful and juicy. This trick is particularly useful for lean proteins that generally dry out when cooked (ex. centre cut pork chops, chicken/turkey breasts) Note: brining red meat (beef or lamb) is not recommended, since they can be enjoyed underc

{INSPIRATION} AMAZING General Tao Chicken

I really enjoy making this recipe at home. It was a popular dish at my old job, and I always had extra sauce in a squeeze bottle for drizzling on steamy rice! You can decide for yourself if you want the healthy or non-healthy version by either sautéing the chicken before adding the sauce, or deep-frying the chicken first. Either way is absolutely delicious! TRCW recipe: Ingredients: Sauce 3 tbsp water 3 tbsp soy sauce 3 tbsp rice vinegar 2 tbsp grated ginger 2 cloves minced garlic 2 tsp sesame oil 1/2 tsp paprika 1 tsp sambal oelek (or ketchup for a mild sauce) 2 tsp cornstarch 3 tbsp water 1/2 cup sugar In a small bowl, whisk together the first ingredients. Set aside. In a sauce pan, bring 3 tbsp of water and 1/2 cup sugar to boil without stirring. Simmer till the mixture turns a light amber. Remove from the stove and pour in the soy mixture, being careful as it may splatter. Return saucepan back to medium heat and whisk till caramel is completely dissolved. Do not overcook or sauce w
