Was having a craving for sushi today but the -17˚C temperature was making me feel less than ambitious to go out in search of it.
As a compromise I decided to apply a little creativity and use what I had on hand. The following resulted in a very enjoyable lunch.
Rice paper soaked in warm water for a couple of minutes.
Steamed brown rice vermacelli tossed with a splash of rice vinegar.
Lemon garlic shrimp (for recipe see post 'Cocktails & Holiday Get-togethers).
Julienne cut carrots & cucumber
Sliced avocado
Enoki mushrooms
Sauce for dipping...
Fish sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, crushed garlic, crushed chilis
...and the results...
... with a pleasant Pinot Grigio...
